Join Mayor David Holt, Councilwoman Nikki Nice and the Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation Department as they cut the ribbon on the Greenway River Trail, a new four-mile multi-use trail that connects the North Oklahoma River Trail to the Katy Trail.
Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony on Aug. 22 at 9 a.m., held directly west of the Chesapeake Finish Line Tower, 606 Riversport Dr. Public parking is available in the lots between South Lincoln Boulevard and Riversport Drive.
The $6 million, four-mile trail section began construction in January 2022 and runs along the north shore of the Oklahoma River from Riversport Drive to NE 4th Street. It was funded through the 2007 General Obligation (GO) Bond and trail impact fees.
"The completion of this project closes a gap in the recreational trail system, connecting the Oklahoma River Trail to the Katy Trail," Director of Oklahoma City Parks and Recreation Melinda McMillian-Miller said. "We are excited to be one step closer to completing the 100-mile OKC trail loop."
With the addition of this trail section, OKC Parks & Recreation now boasts nearly 100 miles of inner-connected recreational trails. Learn more about OKC trails here.
