Description

Salisbury Greenway is a network of greenways and sidewalks weaving from Milford Hills Road near Grants Creek, through Kelsey Scott Park, along residential streets, through Forest Hill Park, and past Mahaley Park to reconnect with Grants Creek and reach Prescot Drive. Another greenway segment in the network connects Hogans Valley Way to Forestdale Drive at the back of Catawba College. Eventually, as design progresses on two more segments, the Salisbury Greenway will become a 5.2-mile loop.

Trail Power: Economic study shows how trails benefit communities
For trail users and supporters, it’s no secret that access to the outdoors brings many benefits. Better health for users of course, but also positive economic and environmental impacts for communities. Thanks to a recent study about the Carolina Thread Trail network, we can now assign a monetary value to many of these intangibles.

Thank you so much for your comment Kevin, it's always great to hear what folks are actually experiencing on the trails. The Thread Trail is actually in the middle of a multi-year effort to refresh and add new signage to all of our trails, so this would be the right time to get more trail markers out on the Salisbury Greenway. I will make sure to mention it to our Director!

Well planned and maintained, lacking in Trail Markers. Which is compounded with no crosswalks, while traversing, three highly traveled city streets.
