greenway

Protected recreational path

A greenway is a corridor of protected open space, typically following a natural feature like a river, ridge, or abandoned rail line, set aside for recreation and conservation.

Greenways often include walking or cycling paths: The city's greenway connects several parks along the river.

Urban planners promote greenways as ways to preserve nature while providing car-free transportation routes.
