The Greenways are a system of linear parks within Mecklenburg County that are intended to connect the county's residential and urban areas, reduce flooding impacts, increase regional water quality, and create and sustain urban wildlife habitats. More than 49 miles of greenway trails have been developed throughout the region as part of the Mecklenburg County Greenways and Trails Master Plan, one of the oldest programs of its kind in the American Southeast, developed in 1996. 17 greenway trails are offered throughout the Charlotte area, including the Briar Creek Greenway, the Four Mile Creek Greenway, the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, and the Irwin Creek Greenway. Trails may be used for both transportation and recreation, including walking, jogging, and cycling.
