Project Overview:
Great Rivers Greenway and the City of Olivette are partnering to build an extension of the Centennial Greenway through Olivette so that people can connect on foot, bicycle, stroller, and wheelchair to Warson Park, the new Olivette Community Center, Indian Meadows Park, and the Olive Blvd. stores and restaurants.
This project will extend the Centennial Greenway linking Shaw Park to Olive Blvd near I-170 two miles further west to Warson Park. When complete, there will be a greenway connection linking Clayton, Ladue, University City and Olivette.
The greenway construction supports actions identified in the Olivette Bike and Walk Plan, the Olivette Parks Master Plan, and the Great Rivers Greenway long-term master plan for this greenway – a 17-mile corridor stretching between Forest Park in the City of St. Louis to Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park in St. Louis County. This project will be developed in multiple phases. As of 2023, the project is set to be completed in four different segments:
» Warson Park
» Indian Meadows Park
» Railroad segment
» Olive and I-170 improvements
Project Location:
This greenway will extend from the existing Centennial Greenway near I-170 and Olive Blvd. It will continue east along Olive Blvd, and north along a former railroad line before crossing Dielman Rd near Napoleon Blvd. The greenway will follow the River Des Peres to pass through Indian Meadows Park and connect to Warson Park and the new Olivette Community Center.
