Cornelius has been very progressive in getting greenways on the ground in the past several years, focusing on its Emerald Necklace connecting where people live to where they shop, dine, recreate, and congregate. Further, the Town’s greenway plan counts on interconnectivity with Mecklenburg County and our neighboring municipalities’ plans to broaden access for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Join us on Saturday, June 4, for a casual walk or bike ride (your choice!) to explore McDowell Creek Greenway. This free event is co-hosted by Sustain Charlotte, the Carolina Thread Trail, and Partners for Parks. You’ll be able to speak with staff and volunteers from these organizations, as well as Cornelius staff, to discuss the importance of growing our network of greenways. We’ll begin with a short discussion outdoors at 2pm and then continue with a guided walk and bike ride. Participants are also invited to join a casual post-event discussion at Al's Bar & Grille.
Parking is available along Magnolia Estates Drive near the trailhead (8321 Magnolia Estates Dr). Please park before the trailhead and avoid on-street parking in the Magnolia Estates neighborhood. This is a family-friendly event that is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
