Confirmed from Greenway Meadows Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park for soccer games, bird-watching and running, along with a playground and hills for sledding.
What runners say about Greenway Meadows Park
“The Greenway from Canal Rd either way going North or South is just amazing in its own way Its beautiful,peaceful,sounds of nature and love.”
An old estate of Seward Johnson, saved from the developers' bulldozers - now gorgeous rolling hills, some perfect for winter sledding ; soccer fields nicely tucked away at one end ; a grand sycamore allee; and poetry on posters along the paths.
Love this place.. go for kids soccer. But have a huge track for running, kids play area, few benches to sit down, large enough areas to take your dogs, public restroom... Park and take a run...
Very pleasant walk in the meadows. Lots of flowers and birds. Very interesting Poetry Path. Good place for photography.
A beautiful place for a small walk. You will be amazed the park fills with poems and wildflowers.
