What a way to spend Mother’s Day morning! The energy here is wonderful. The trail is beautifully paved and follows the creek, offering a nice balance of sun and shade that makes the walk really comfortable. I loved seeing the mix of families, runners, and polite cyclists all sharing the path safely; everyone was great about calling out before passing. There are plenty of spots to rest or hop off for a coffee or meal, and Freedom Park is a perfect midpoint with its playgrounds and fields. Even with some ongoing park construction, the path was easy to navigate and felt very secure. Charlotte truly nailed it with this greenway!
