Walker Branch & Hoover Creek Greenway
Walker Branch & Hoover Creek Greenway
Welcome to the Walker Branch/Hoover Creek Greenway public input webpage.
Walker Branch & Hoover Creek Greenway will extend from Sledge Road to South Tryon Street (Hwy. 49) and existing Hoover Creek Greenway to Rivergate Parkway, closing the gaps between existing greenway sections. This greenway project is divided into two parts with existing Walker Branch Greenway bisecting the two segments. This project will extend the existing Walker Branch Greenway, from South Tryon Street to Smith Road by about a mile and a half. Together, visitors will have access to over two miles of greenway trails that will connect to commercial and residential land uses.
Below you will find project updates, timelines, meetings, survey questions, key contact information and other important information about this greenway project.
We encourage you to provide your feedback and stay connected!
