What is a Greenway?

A Greenway is a corridor of undeveloped land, along a river or between urban centers that is reserved for recreational use or environmental preservation. Greenways connect people to the places they live, work and play! There are many benefits of trails and greenways: they make our communities more livable; improve the economy through tourism and civic improvement; preserve open space; and provide a place for physical activity that will improve fitness and mental health.

The City Park trail starts at the Family Aquatics Pool and loops around the Baseball fields and Tennis Courts. Sevierville City Park is a nice quiet place to run. The park’s 0.5 mile walking/running trail is connected to the Memorial River Trail Greenway which travels under the main parkway and continues along the river adding an additional 2 miles. There are no roads to cross or traffic to worry about which makes this a nice run along the Little Pigeon River. The park facilities also include softball fields, little league baseball, eight tennis courts (four lighted), concessions, restrooms, picnic areas and shelters along the river, a spectacular self-contained playground and an outdoor pool at the Family Aquatic Center.
