P. 37
Goal - B
Everyone loves our interconnected greenspaces, which
provide recreation and transportation opportunities,
promote active living, and protect our natural environment.
Strategy 1: Expand the greenway network to connect all parts of the city as
a key element of the transportation system. Develop a variety of parks and
park programs to make vital and unique public places in neighborhoods that
promote healthy living and social interaction.
Strategy 2: Continue to improve our parks and green corridors to offer refuge
for urban wildlife, positively impact the environment, and provide educational
opportunities for residents. Many of Greensboro’s parks run along our extensive
creek network and create rich habitats for a variety of wildlife, as well as
opportunities for recreation, education, and to improve water and air quality.
Rail corridors throughout Greensboro provide "highways" for wildlife to move
across the city safely.
