Connections and Access Trail Projects
Connections and Access Trail Projects
Mecklenburg County is working to expand access to existing parks and greenway trails throughout the County! New bicycle and pedestrian connections to existing facilities were prioritized for investment based on community demand and identified need. See below for park and greenway trail sites that will provide new access trails through active Capital Investment and Reinvestment.
