City of Greenwood announces expanded trail system, Northeast Loop Trail set to open this fall

GREENWOOD, Ind. – Later this fall, the City of Greenwood will open the Northeast Loop Trail, a ten-foot-wide, multi-use asphalt trail located around the perimeter of Northeast Park.

“We have listened to our community, and it is clear our residents want a robust trail system,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “Adding the Northeast Loop Trail is yet another way we are encouraging folks to get active. I am a firm believer that a healthy community is a strong community.”

The trail will be approximately .7 miles in length and aims to provide yet another safe public space for walkers, cyclists and park patrons within Greenwood. Funding for this project comes from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).

“The new Northeast Loop Trail will improve the City of Greenwood’s walkability and increase accessibility for residents of all ages and abilities,” said Greenwood Parks & Recreation Executive Director Rob Taggart. “We look forward to opening this trail to the public and welcome this new addition to Greenwood’s robust outdoor recreation network.”

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.

Northeast Park previously benefited from additional CDBG funding when the Parks department transformed the 25-year-old skatepark last summer. The park’s attractions include a soccer complex, playground equipment, basketball court, softball diamond, one picnic shelter that is available for rent and Greenwood’s only skatepark.
