McEachern Greenway links three parks with 2.2-mile paved trail, city description says

The City of Concord describes McEachern Greenway as its most used greenway, offering a 2.2-mile paved route that connects Les Myers Park, McGee Park and the turnaround north of Wilson Street Park, with parking at each trailhead and at a downtown connector on McEachern Boulevard.

The greenway’s features include a tunnel at Corbin Avenue, a bridge over 3 Mile Branch, several lookouts between McGee Park and Wilson Street Park, boardwalk segments and gentle elevation changes. The city description notes access to playgrounds, picnic areas and restrooms at the three parks that the greenway serves.

Why it matters: McEachern Greenway provides a continuous, paved corridor that the city positions for transportation, recreation and neighborhood access. The description emphasizes multiple trailheads and on-street connection points that support both short visits and longer walks or rides.

Details from the city description include a 1.0-mile paved segment between Les Myers Park and McGee Park and an additional 1.2-mile section from McGee Park to the turnaround north of Wilson Street Park. The route passes under Corbin Avenue and crosses 3 Mile Branch on a bridge; boardwalks are used where the trail meets wetland or low-lying areas. Parking is provided at each trailhead and at a downtown connector on McEachern Boulevard.

The description encourages visitors to use lookouts and the boardwalks along the route. Amenities at the three parks — playgrounds, picnic areas and restrooms — are listed as available, but no schedule, hours of operation, maintenance plan, funding source or planned improvements were specified in the description.

This overview is based on the city’s descriptive text about McEachern Greenway; it summarizes features and access but does not report on maintenance schedules, recent construction, or planned capital projects because those items were not specified.
