Greenway Park

A Natural Escape in the City

Tucked within Winston-Salem's urban landscape, Greenway Park offers a refreshing breath of nature without having to leave the city. As part of Winston-Salem's impressive greenway network that spans over 25 miles of trails, this public park acts as both a peaceful retreat and a connector to other green spaces.

Though it can be a bit tricky to locate, you'll find a quiet glimpse of nature away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Trails That Take You Places

The paved pathways here are perfect whether you're out for a casual stroll, training for your next 5K, or enjoying a leisurely bike ride. What's great is how these trails link up with the broader Salem Creek Greenway, meaning you can extend your adventure alongside the creek and potentially make your way all the way to Salem Lake if you're feeling ambitious.

Don't worry about steep inclines - the mostly flat terrain makes these trails welcoming for everyone from fitness enthusiasts to families with young children.

Nature's Backdrop

As you make your way through the park, you'll be treated to lovely views of Salem Creek winding its way through the natural landscape. On hot summer days, you'll appreciate the shade cast by trees that line sections of the trail, offering welcome relief from the North Carolina sun.

Beyond just being a place for recreation, the park is a green corridor connecting different neighborhoods of Winston-Salem, offering an alternative to car travel for those looking to move through the city.

Touches of History

The old gothic stone shelters that dot the landscape add character to the park. These charming historic structures provide nice spots to catch your breath, enjoy a packed lunch, or simply sit and watch the world go by.

Part of a Greener Vision

While we don't have exact measurements of the park's boundaries or a complete inventory of its amenities, Greenway Park is part of Winston-Salem's network of accessible outdoor spaces where residents can enjoy nature.
