Bowling Green’s First Greenway
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is including shared use paths in the widening of Cemetery Road (KY 234) and Lovers Lane (KY 880) from Kereiakes Park to the Soccer Complex. The next priority for the Greenways Commission is to connect these paths with the Riverfront Park. The City of Bowling Green has applied for Transportation Enhancement funds to make this connection, and to improve safe access to Kereiakes Park and Covington Woods Park. When these projects are completed, we will have a four-mile trail originating in downtown Bowling Green, connecting four parks, two elementary schools, and one shopping center.
Future Connections on an Inner Loop
Several roadways form a loop around Bowling Green: Cemetery Road, Fairview Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Campbell Lane and Lovers Lane. This “Inner Loop” connects several of our major parks and other destinations: Kereiakes Park, Roland Bland Park, the Depot Library, Hobson Grove Park, Russell Sims Aquatic Center at Preston Miller Park, Lost River Cave, and the Lovers Lane Soccer Complex. The greenway will eventually extend around this loop and, where there is neighborhood interest, through adjoining neighborhoods. |
