The Charlotte Braille Trail Community Reveal takes place Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Lions Services, 4600 N Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina. This event is a celebration of the first segment of the Braille Trail. Please RSVP here.
At this free celebratory community event, learn more about the trail and Lions Services’ work to design a world where vision status is never a barrier to a life of choice, career, and connection.
You’ll have a chance to explore this multisensory outdoor space, experience the everyday barriers our blind and low vision neighbors encounter, and tour the Lions Services’ facility, where they leverage custom engineered accessible technology and rely on a highly skilled, majority blind or low vision workforce to manufacture products that protect our troops.
About the Charlotte Braille Trail
The Charlotte Braille Trail is not your ordinary trail. This innovative community project blends nature, art, and technology into a multisensory experience designed for everyone.
Threading through a tactile, fragrant landscape, the trail ensures blind and low-vision residents have safe, walkable access to public transit, paired with an accessible recreation and exercise space. From the musical “Bloom Circle” to interactive light and sound sculptures, the trail serves as a vibrant community hub where everyone regardless of how well they can see can engage their senses and connect with the heart of the city.
The Charlotte Braille Trail is part of Cross Charlotte Trail. It will eventually be a mile stretch from Dorton and Tryon to the Sugar Creek Light Rail Station.
To experience the trail in full fashion, it’s best to download the Soundscape App.
The first segment, starting at Dorton and Tryon and ending at the back of Lions Services’ Building, has been completed.
