A greenway is a linear park or trail system that is designed to connect neighborhoods, parks, and other open spaces while preserving natural resources and cultural features. Greenways can be used for walking, jogging, biking, and other forms of non-motorized transportation, and also serve as important wildlife corridors and recreational areas for local communities. They may be located in urban or rural areas and may include features like waterways, wetlands, forests, and historical sites. Greenways often have benefits for public health, the environment, and the economy by providing a safe and convenient way to access nature and promoting active lifestyles.
