Four Mile Creek Greenway Connection
Four Mile Creek Greenway Connection
Welcome to the Four Mile Creek Greenway Connection Project!
This project will add a new and accessible bicycle/pedestrian point of access from the White Oak Neighborhood at Creek Bend Drive to the existing Four Mile Creek Greenway. Trail connections to existing facilities were identified as priority amenities for investment in Meck Playbook and by community demands. Mecklenburg County is working hard to expand available access to existing parks and greenways throughout the County. The Four Mile Creek Greenway Connection Project is one out of 11 projects funded in FY 2026 to add accessible bicycle/pedestrian access trails. The scope of the Connection project includes ~ 504' of a 12' wide timber boardwalk with concrete decking, ~ 80' pre-fabricated bridge over four mile creek, a crosswalk at Creek Bend Dr., a boardwalk overlook area, the removal of the existing overlook off Creek Bend Drive and associated wayfinding.
Below you will find project updates and timelines, meeting dates, key contact information, and other important information about this greenway connection project. You may also give feedback and ask questions about the greenway. We encourage you to provide your input and stay connected!
- The Four Mile Creek Greenway Connection Project will be built in coordination with the upcoming Four Mile Creek Greenway Reinvestment Project. The Reinvestment Project will repair and improve paving and structures along Four Mile Creek Greenway between Bevington Place and Johnston Road. This greenway segment is approximately 1.8 miles long and has 6 access trails and two parking trailheads. The scope of the Reinvestment Project may include repairs/replacement of paved greenway trail, bridges, boardwalks, wayfinding, and improvements to the existing parking area and restrooms. This project is funded for Fiscal Year 2027.
