Cities across the U.S. are recognizing and using trails and greenways as a strategy to retain and attract homeowners and businesses, enhance quality of life, and improve their communities. Trails and greenways positively impact both individuals and communities by providing recreation, fitness, and transportation opportunities, influencing economic and community development and preserving or enhancing the natural landscape.

The first Greater Cleveland Trails & Greenways Conference offered an excellent opportunity for public, private, and nonprofit professionals and trail advocates to learn about the benefits inherent to these amenities and the tools needed to develop them. The conference examined model trail initiatives, as well as local goals, opportunities and experiences. The program also highlighted the health benefits of recreational trail use and showcased the Cleveland Metroparks’ recently completed Lake to Lake Trail.
