The Heath Street Greenway Project is transforming access to Merino Park, creating a safer and more enjoyable path for pedestrians and cyclists. This 1,700-foot multi-use trail will connect directly to the existing Woonasquatucket River Greenway, adding new green spaces and recreational access for the community.

Project Highlights

🚶‍♂️ Pedestrian & Cyclist Safety: Separated lanes along Heath Street ensure safe travel for all users.
🎉 Welcoming Gateway: A prominent entry point at Hartford Avenue invites everyone to the Woonasquatucket River Greenway and Merino Park.
🌿 Green Infrastructure: Landscaping and stormwater treatment features support a healthy, sustainable environment.
🏞 Recreational Access: Easy entry to Merino Park’s playgrounds, playing fields, trails, parkour course, and pump track at Woony Adventure Park.

A Community Connection

Once completed, this project will provide a beautiful gateway to the Woonasquatucket River Greenway, connecting neighborhoods, enhancing pedestrian and cyclist safety, and increasing green spaces. The new path will link people of all ages to nature, recreation, and community spaces along the river.
