What Is A Greenway Anyway?
The Salisbury Parks & Recreation Department cordially invites citizens to enjoy the Salisbury Greenway System. Greenways are recreational areas and linear parks throughout the city of Salisbury for walking, biking and jogging. In addition, Greenways supply open space and natural areas for environmental education and wildlife preservation and drastically increase property values and quality of life in areas where a Greenway system is present.

Tell Me About the Salisbury Greenway
The Salisbury Parks & Recreation Department currently maintains five Greenway sections totaling approximately 2.5 miles. Through five-year corporate sponsorships, the Greenway receives additional funding for promotion and maintenance of three sections of the Greenway.

The Prescott Connector, which begins near Overton Elementary School, includes a covered bridge and measures approximately 2,820 feet. This section, sponsored by Hap and Annette Roberts of Statewide Title is the site of the Earth Day Celebration, Greenway Growlers, 5K Run/Walk for the Greenway and the Land Trust Tree Lighting.
 

The Forest Hills section, located between Mahaley Avenue and Grove Street, receives sponsorship support from Rowan Regional Medical Center. Hospital associates and visitors are encouraged to include the Greenway into their daily walks and fitness breaks to promote a lifestyle of well-being. The Forest Hills section is approximately 1,700 ft. and includes a bridge and a playground area.

The Memorial Park Loop section of the Salisbury Greenway is located at Grove Street and is adjacent to the Memorial Park Cemetery. This tranquil, peaceful 2,463 ft. section of the Greenway, sponsored by Fall sett Funeral Home, Inc., includes a bridge and encircles a scenic lake with visible wildlife.
 


The fourth section, located within Kelsey Scott Park on Old Wilkesboro Road, crosses a Disc Golf Course and passes a playground, picnic area and a ball field as it winds toward Union Hill/Oakdale Cemetery. This section is approximately 1,890 feet in length.

 

The fifth and most recent addition to the Salisbury Greenway System encompasses 3,900 feet. Beginning at the Harris Teeter Shopping Center, the section winds along Brenner Avenue toward the Old Wilkesboro Road intersection where it crosses the road and continues along  Union Hill/Oakdale Cemetery toward West Horah Street.
