The Village Council has officially named the Pettibone Road Multi-Purpose Trail the “John D. Brown Multi-Purpose Trail” in honor of his commitment and service to the Village over 35 years as Law Director. This trail, on the north side of Pettibone from Austin Powder Drive to Richmond Road, was constructed in 2008-2009 with funds from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Community Development Block Grant awarded by the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners, and the Village of Glenwillow. The trail is 10 feet wide and constructed with an asphalt surface. It is extensively used by residents walking, riding bikes, and jogging. The trail connects with the trail system in Oakwood Village and the Cleveland Metroparks.

The Village Trail is handicap accessible.
