Project Scope:

This project connects Dallas Park to Gaston Tech Parkway via a new 0.6-mile greenway where it will meet another greenway project coming from Rankin Lake Park. This greenway is part of a larger effort to link the parks around Gaston County to increase walkability and encourage active living within the community.

This project partially federally funded using money from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Grant

Background:

Gaston County is working with the municipalities to provide alternate means of travel for residents. This project is part of a broader effort to link the City of Gastonia and the Town of Dallas through a network of trails and greenways. This will allow residents to walk or cycle between the two municipalities and reduce car dependency.
