Probably one of my favorite greenways in Charlotte just because you get the best of both urban and suburban environments while running through here. The greenway goes though Freedom Park so it provides an easy parking, but it looks like they are adding additional parking in the CPCC area (new part of the greenway).
One of the cool additions to the greenway is the greenspace near the Met that features a giant mirrored ball. A terrace that I have seen people use for a wedding before, and a safe place to walk (and not have to wait on cars/traffic lights) with their use of tunnels and ramps.
I'm excited once the greenway is connected further north and you can do longer runs on it (if training for a longer distance race... half marathon/marathon).
Right now you can start on the CPCC end and go all the way over to Brandywine... right behind Park Rd. Shopping Center.... just shy of 3 miles.
