The ~1.5 mile Little Rock Road to Loy Court section of trail is the first funded phase of Paw Creek Greenway. This project connects the entrance of Robert L. Smith Park (at Little Rock Road) to the neighborhoods north, south, and west of the park, providing connections to Little Rock Road at the park, RL Smith Park near the playground, Rayecilff Lane to the south, Pawtuckett Road to the north, and Paw Village Road to the west . Thank you to everyone who attended the virtual public meeting on April 22, 2021! A recording of the meeting and pdf of the presentation is below.  

April 24, 2025 Update: Paw Creek Greenway is substantially complete and open to the public. Over the next few months, you may see additional work on the trail shoulders and seeding. Wayfinding signage will also be added in Summer 2025.
