Mission Statement
"To develop a network of walking and biking pathways that bring the community and nature together"
What is a Greenspace? a Greenway? a Greenbelt? A Greenspace is an open space such as a park, wildlife refuge, or undeveloped floodplain. A Greenway is a linear greenspace along a natural or man-made corridor. Natural corridors in Warren County include river frontage, stream valleys, or ridgelines. Man-made corridors include abandoned railroad lines, utility rights-of-way, or scenic highways. A Greenbelt is a network of greenspaces and greenways that can encircle as well as infiltrate a community.

The Greenways Commission of Bowling Green and Warren County was created in 2001 by joint action of the City and County governments. The Board establishes priorities, develops cost estimates, solicits public input, and recommends detailed master plans for each of the specific phases of the Greenbelt System Master Plan. The Board applies for grant funds subject to City and County approval, and reports to the Board of Commissioners and Fiscal Court on a periodic basis. The Greenbelt System Master Plan for Bowling Green and Warren was prepared in 1998 by Lose and Associates of Nashville. The Master Plan was officially adopted by the Bowling Green City Commission and the Warren County Fiscal Court in 1999.
