What is a Greenway?

 

Chattanooga is a pioneer city in the establishment of Greenways. A Greenway is basically a linear park which is located along a right-of-way or otherwise reserved area. Its purpose is both environmental and recreation; it gives urban citizens a chance to keep nature close by, and it reserves property from urban development, often connecting neighboring communities. The Parks, Recreation, Arts & Culture Department has several such Greenways: South Chickamauga Creek Greenway including the Brainerd Levee, the North Chickamauga Creek (around Greenway Farm), and the Tennessee Riverwalk (in partnership with Hamilton County).
