Art on the Greenway
Permanent art installations are unfolding through a beautiful partnership with the Lancaster County Council of the Arts. All art will point visitors towards our mutual mission of highlighting the beauty of our natural resources here in our local region. Find our most recent public art installations commissioned by the LCCA at the Woodland Drive tunnel underpass (by muralist Amiri Farris), the Gillsbrook Drive tunnel underpass (by muralist Alex Osborn), and two Paws on Parade sculptures by the Barr Street Trailhead.

Accessible for All Abilities
The Greenway was intentionally designed as a hard-surface trail to ensure that people of all mobility levels can smoothly access the trail. By doing so, everyone can connect to places of interest and engage with nature. The Greenway's hard-surface route has a combination of asphalt, concrete, and boardwalk.
Connectivity
The first two miles of the Lindsay Pettus Greenway connects people to places, including: downtown Lancaster, four nearby schools (North Elementary, Clinton Elementary, Lancaster High, and Barr Street Learning Center), as well as many local businesses and neighborhoods.
Future phases of the Greenway will connect to MUSC Health Lancaster Medical Center, Springdale Recreation Center, and the Lancaster County Health Department.
Historical Land Acknowledgement
South Carolina was home to over 25 Indigenous communities. In our area and along the Lindsay Pettus Greenway, we are on the traditional lands of the Catawbas. Today, the Catawba Nation is the only federally recognized tribe in South Carolina. Learn more by visiting the Native American Studies Center in downtown Lancaster. It's less than a one-mile walk from the Greenway.
