Greenway Trails

Springfield has a growing network of 70 miles of greenway trails, and 81 miles of on-street routes. Every week, thousands of residents and visitors use Springfield’s public greenway trail network and on-street bike route system for bicycling, walking, running, skating and handicap access. They’re used for fun, fitness, active transportation, education and environmental preservation. Ongoing expansions include “The Link”, an 7-mile signed corridor connecting Doling Park to Twin Oaks Park, and the installation of 12 outdoor bike aide stations along The Link and other area trails. The trails and routes appeal to people of all ages, abilities, interests and income levels.
