The City of Greenwood, IN

GREENWOOD, Ind. – The City of Greenwood will begin construction on an extension to its trail system with a new multi-use trail connecting Northwest Park to Northwest Annex Park. The extension is a welcome addition to the trail system and will help bolster connectivity and walkability throughout the city.

“Natural and public amenities continue to be a top priority for Greenwood, and I am pleased this section of trail will improve access between parks and increase the overall quality of life for all Greenwood residents,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “This trail connecting Northwest Park to Northwest Annex Park will serve as a critical link between two of our city’s most beloved parks, adding to an already extensive network of trails.”

The 8-foot-wide trail will run along the northern side of Pleasant Run Creek and will stretch for roughly 1,600 feet, meandering through dense vegetation, including a large indigenous canopy of trees. The trail also will connect to a sidewalk off Easy Street for further access.

“This trail has been in the works for nearly 20 years,” said Greenwood Parks & Recreation Director Rob Taggart. “This development represents another win, not only for our parks and trail system but for all of Greenwood. Pursuing additional opportunities for exercise and public recreation is what we love to do, and we look forward to welcoming trail-goers onto this new addition soon.”

Greenwood residents and visitors will be able to walk, jog or bike along the trail this coming fall. No motorized vehicles will be permitted along the trail.
