Greenways are paved, multi-use paths that provide opportunities for recreation, transportation, and access to nature.
Community is at the core of the greenways network. Greenways connect us to our neighbors and to nature, and provide many quality of life benefits.
Why Do Greenways Matter?
CONNECT THE COMMUNITY
The modern day “front porch,” greenways provide a public space where neighbors can congregate, communicate, celebrate, and connect.

Everyone benefits from green space.
Greenways for Nashville works hard to make it more accessible.
As the nonprofit friends group for the Greenways and Open Space Division of Metro Parks, Greenways for Nashville works towards the vision of a connected community for all.
We fundraise for greenways enhancements, the network’s growth, and open space preservation. We convene multi-sector greenways partners, activate greenways use through community events, and advance neighborhood advocacy.
OUR IMPACT
Greenways for Nashville has been advocating for our greenways network since 1994.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’ve helped Metro Parks create more than 75 trailhead access points, along 11 greenway corridors, given 90% of neighborhoods access to greenspace within 2 miles, and provided 111 miles of multi-use paths within Davidson County.
But there’s plenty more to be done.
