The top of the sign reads "dcr" with a leaf logo; below that, "Southwest Corridor Park," below that, an arrow pointing to the upper left just above a pedestrian walking icon, pointing to a narrower walking path to the left of the sign; below that, an arrow pointing to the upper right just above a bike icon points to the bike path.
