Glenwood Gardens to Winton Woods Trail
Project Dates
Great Parks is planning and constructing the Glenwood Gardens to Winton Woods Trail, a new 3.6-mile shared-use trail that extends the West Fork Mill Creek Greenway Trail and offers a safe, accessible connection between two of Great Parks' most popular destinations. An important link in Greater Cincinnati's regional trail network, the new trail expands opportunities for recreation and vehicle-free transportation in an urbanized area. Once complete, more than nine miles of continuous path will link community resources across Springfield Township, Greenhills, Woodlawn and Wyoming.
Designed as a 12-foot-wide, paved and ADA-compliant connector, the trail opens safe and convenient park entry points for walkers, runners, bicyclists, wheelchair users, strollers and other non-motorized users. Identified as a priority in Great Parks’ 2019 Comprehensive Master Plan, the project responds directly to community requests for more trail connections and access. Phase 1 construction included new sidewalk connections to Metro bus transit and a signalized crosswalk to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on Springfield Pike and Glendale-Milford Road. Phase 2 construction will complete the trail connection between the existing West Fork Mill Creek Greenway Trail at the entrance to Glenwood Gardens and the Harbor Loop Trail at Winton Woods.
