What are Greenways?

Greenways are linear corridors of land that are permanently maintained in a relatively undeveloped, natural condition as open space.  These linear parks and trails connect neighborhoods to schools, shopping areas, downtown, offices, recreation areas, open spaces and other points of activity. Most greenways include publicly accessible trails that can accommodate walking, running, bicycling, skating, and enjoyment of the out-of-doors.  Often located along natural landscape features like streams, rivers and ridges, or along built features, such as railroad corridors and scenic highways, greenways provide valuable green space for conservation, recreation and alternative transportation. Greenways provide all citizens with barrier-free access to natural resources and recreational opportunities.

The Greenways Commission of Metro Parks with the support of Greenways for Nashville is working to expand its system of multi-use paved trails and primitive hiking trails along the Cumberland, Stones and Harpeth rivers, as well as Richland, Whites, Seven Mile and Mill creeks. These trails will eventually form a network of corridors which will link communities throughout Nashville.

Our Vision
We envision Nashville and Davidson County tied together with threads of green - bicycle paths and hiking trails that connect people to parks, to downtown, to schools and other areas of activity, to waterways, hillsides and the animals and plants that live there, and to each other. A city where natural areas, recreational opportunities, and non-motorized transportation are within easy reach of all of us.
