Description: Let’s meet at the tennis courts at Lake Daniel Park in Greensboro. The Tennis courts at Lake Daniel are located at 410 Mimosa Drive, off Benjamin Parkway in Greensboro. We will walk the new Downtown Greenway starting at the Lake Daniel Tennis courts. This paved greenway meanders along a portion of an old rail bed. It passes under Friendly Avenue, crossing West Market St, adjacent to Greensboro College and the College Hill Neighborhood. The greenway crosses Gate City Blvd twice, parallels Murrow Blvd and Fisher Avenue before looping by the baseball stadium. Along the way are various historical markers, pictures, plaques, and small “parks”. The total distance is around 6 miles. We will take this at a more leisurely pace since there are some interesting points of interest along the way. Bring water and snacks. There is the possibility of stopping for coffee or refreshments along the way. Please sign up at the website for this so I will know how many to expect.
Required Gear: snacks, water, dress in layers
