The Cleveland / Bradley County Greenway began as a vision of a few citizens intent on improving the quality of life in our community. From the beginning, local governments and officials supported the concept of a linear park weaving through Cleveland and Bradley County.

The long-term vision of the greenway is to begin in Cleveland at the Village Green office and shopping center at Inman and Keith Streets and follow Mouse Creek to its terminus at the Hiwassee River in Charleston, Tennessee. Today the greenway stretches unbroken from Mohawk Drive to Willow Street. The city and county-along with the Greenway Board-is continually seeking funding for continued expansion of the greenway.

More About the Greenway

Greenways are corridors of land recognized for their ability to connect people and places together. These ribbons of open space are located within linear corridors that are either natural, such as rivers and streams, or manmade, such as abandoned railroad beds and utility corridors.

Greenway trails can be paved or unpaved, and can be designed to accommodate a variety of trail users, including bicyclists, walkers, hikers, joggers, skaters, horseback riders, and those confined to wheelchairs.

The Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway is a linear corridor along Mouse Creek, eventually stretching from the Village Green shopping and office center to the Hiwassee River in Charleston.

Today, five phases of the greenway are complete between Mohawk Drive and Willow Street.

Highlights of the greenway include an 18-space parking area at the north end of Harris Circle, three pedestrian bridges that cross Mouse Creek, four underpasses (Keith Street, 17th, 20th and 25th Streets), and a connection to the Prayer Walk Plaza at the Church of God International Offices.

The Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway is supervised by a board with appointments from the City, County and Cleveland Utilities and is administered through the office of Cleveland Parks and Recreation.
