Welcome to the 2016 Great Rivers Greenway Regional Plan Update.

As your regional parks and trails district, we update our regional plan every five years to ensure that we deliver our mission through the voices of the people in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. In 2010 — working with citizens, civic leaders and partners—we established five goals and 40 strategies to guide our work.

The 2016 effort was no exception—we listened to many groups and learned that people genuinely love the greenways. We heard from our stakeholders and partners that we must collaborate further to ensure the ongoing promotion and sustainability of the greenway system known as the River Ring.

We know that due to limited funds, we must make difficult decisions about which projects to construct next. This edition of the plan is based on the core goals established in 2010, but it goes further in defining implementation strategies and action plans to help guide the decision-making process, with the ultimate goal of ensuring a high quality experience for everyone, now and for years to come. We encourage you to learn more about us by reading this plan and by getting involved, but more importantly, we hope you use the greenways to live life outside!
