McAlpine Creek Greenway
Charlotte’s original Greenway Park, McAlpine Creek Greenway, built in 1978, was the first public greenway trail ever acquired and built in the western piedmont of North Carolina. Features include 8.9 miles of greenway, cross country trails, and nature trails off of Monroe Road.
The Mecklenburg County greenway system is quickly becoming one of the finest in the nation. Greenways are vegetated natural buffers that improve water quality, reduce the impacts of flooding, and provide wildlife habitat.
Greenway trails provide recreation, transportation, fitness, and economic benefits for all to enjoy. There are currently 37 miles of developed and 150 miles of undeveloped greenways in Mecklenburg County.
Bicycle Diaries
When I began cycling as a form of exercise 30 years ago, my local bike shop's slogan was Life Sport.
Truth in a slogan, riding a bike has proven to be a great way to stay conditioned through my sit down at the keyboard career.
