Rock Creek Greenway

The Greenway is two miles long and goes from Longwood Park to Rock Creek Veterans Park. We parked in  Longwood Park and walked/rolled south along the trail. This section, which is very short, is in bad condition and should be skipped. 

There isn't an accessible path to the rest of the trail so we parked in The Rock parking lot to continue the trail. The Rock is a large boulder across the street from Gainesville High School, that the cheerleaders began painting in 1967. Shortly after that the city council voted to give the high school students ownership of The Rock and the cheerleaders paint a new message before each game.  

A crosswalk with flashing lights makes it safe to cross the road and access the rest of the trail. This section is accessible and in great condition with smooth concrete. 

 

The parking lots at Longwood Park and The Rock are both large enough for RVs if backed backed over the grass or pulled lengthwise through the spaces. Trail  34.30509, -83.84588
