Garden City Greenway Description

Garden City Greenway is a 2 mile, asphalt trail that follows Garnand Branch Creek and follows near Garden City Boulevard from the Roanoke River Greenway near Mount Pleasant Road to Yellow Mountain Road. The bike path is 8 to 10 feet wide. There is an elevation difference of approximately 230 feet from end to end. The southern portion of the trail runs adjacent to but separate from Garden City Boulevard. The northern portion of the trail is more isolated from Garden City Boulevard. The trail leads to the Roanoke River Greenway, which traces the southern bank of the river.

Parking and Trail Access

Parking is available at the Garden City Recreation building (3741 Yellow Mountain Road, Roanoke, VA) on the south end of the trail.

Garden City Greenway Reviews

Decent Trail

While this trail largely follows Garden City Blvd SE, there are some spots on it that are scenic and away from traffic. It mostly consists of a steady climb to the end of the trail, but the first three quarters of a mile is relatively flat with one climb at the quarter mile marker. The trail is plenty wide enough for passing and is paved in its entirety. There is a small park on the trail and park just off of the trail behind the elementary school. Because it is an off shoot from Roanoke River Greenway traffic is lighter than the main greenway. There is shade on about half of the trail. The biggest concern is on Wednesday’s it’s garbage day so there is usually garbage cans and other refuse waiting to be collected.
