Trails are open from dawn to dusk daily.
Raleigh Greenspace App
Raleigh Greenspace, a CityCamp 2012 winner, is an interactive map of greenway trails with additional features such as weather reports, the ability to submit maintenance requests via SeeClickFix, and the ability to track time and distance traveled.
The application is not a product of the City of Raleigh. It was created by the Raleigh Greenspace team and was built using Open Raleigh GIS (Geographic Information System) data. The free application is available for mobile devices running the Android and iOS operating systems.
