Our Mission & Vision

We envision a State where trails, pathways & scenic road corridors connect everyone to where they want to go, empowering them to live healthier lives as they discover and enjoy the outdoors.

This access to the natural world provides benefits beyond the pleasures of inspiring sights and sounds. These outdoor connections have a positive effect on mental and physical health, the environment and economy, improving the quality of life for individuals, communities and businesses.

With that vision in mind, our mission is to collaboratively develop and promote networks of trails, pathways and scenic road corridors that welcome all people and communities. 

Focus Project

Wilmington Loop

The Wilmington Loop is a proposed transformational public infrastructure project — a continuous community trail around our state’s largest city that will improve public health, lift-up isolated, underserved neighborhoods and spark economic renewal and expansion benefiting every citizen. In total the loop covers 15.6 miles, with half of those miles already in existence, and connects three of the First State National Historic Park sites.

Helmet Borrowing Program Launches

Improving Safety on the Trail

Delaware Greenways has kicked off a new bike helmet loaner program to help ensure bicyclists using the Jack A. Markell Trail are exploring the trail safely. Helmets can be borrowed from three locations that are in close proximity to bike rental kiosks: The Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau Visitor Center and the DuPont Environmental Education Center, both at the Wilmington Riverfront, as well as the New Castle Courthouse Museum in Historic New Castle.
