Our mission is to make the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a regional network of greenways. We are a public agency, created by a vote of the people in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County in the year 2000 to create a sales tax dedicated to your parks and greenways. Those funds allow us to collaborate with partners and communities to build, care for and bring to life a network of greenways, creating healthy habitats and watersheds along the way.
We do our best to meet people where they are and build civic trust, involving the public in every project. We know they are the experts on their communities and their investment and ownership are crucial to long-term success. As a steward of taxpayers’ dollars, Great Rivers Greenway embraces the diversity of our region, proactively creating inclusive public spaces and processes with and for all.
It’s an honor to deliver on the community’s vision for a vibrant, connected region with 135 miles of greenways and counting. Live life outside!
