Master Plan
When the St. Vincent Greenway is complete; it will extend 7 miles from NorthPark and the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus all the way to Forest Park. It will connect with Maline Greenway on the north and ultimately join the Centennial, River des Peres, and Brickline Greenways in Forest Park.
Current Status
St. Vincent Greenway: St. Vincent Park to UMSL to North Hanley MetroLink (paved) runs 3.63 miles along the rolling hills of the UMSL campus and through the lush and shady landscape of St. Vincent County Park.
On the south side of the greenway, St. Vincent Greenway: Forest Park to Trojan Park (paved) runs 1.95 miles from Trojan Park at Etzel and Skinker through Ruth Porter Mall Park to Forest Park at Lindell. If you walk west along Delmar, you can meet up with the Centennial Greenway. The recently completed segment of the greenway from Delmar at DeBaliviere to Lindell runs parallel to the Loop Trolley tracks.
Future Connections
We are working with many partners to close the gap on the northern and southern sections of the St. Vincent Greenway. We’ll complete the connection in three phases. The first is an 0.5 mile stretch of greenway with a direct connection to the Rock Road Transit Center. This work is being completed as part of Missouri Department of Transportation’s improvements to St. Charles Rock Road and is underway. The second phase extends from Trojan Park to the site of the former Eskridge High School in Wellston. The third phase will stretch from Eskridge High School to St. Charles Rock Road. In early 2020, the Pagedale community identified the route for the greenway and we are working through the design phase to prepare the project for construction in 2024.
When the entire connection is complete, it will connect the cities of Wellston and Pagedale to the Wellston and Rock Road Transit Center and St. Vincent County Park. It will also complete a seven mile, continuous greenway stretching all the way from Forest Park, across the University of Missouri-St. Louis Campus, to the North Hanley MetroLink Station!
Projects In Progress
Trojan Park to Robert L. Powell Place
This project will extend the greenway an additional .53 miles from its current endpoint at Trojan Park on Etzel Avenue to the site of the former Eskridge High school in Wellston.
Robert L. Powell Place to St. Charles Rock Road
This 1.69 mile greenway segment will start at the former Eskridge High School site and connect to St. Charles Rock Road.
St. Charles Rock Road to St. Vincent County Park
This project will parallel St. Charles Rock Road with a direct connection to the Rock Road Transit Center and St. Vincent County Park. The project will create a safe, accessible shared-use path on the northern side of the road.
Future Connections
We are working with many partners to close the gap on the northern and southern sections of the St. Vincent Greenway.
When the entire connection is complete, it will connect the cities of Wellston and Pagedale to the Wellston and St. Charles Rock Road MetroLink stations and St. Vincent County Park. It will also complete a seven mile, continuous greenway stretching all the way from Forest Park, across the University of Missouri-St. Louis Campus, to the North Hanley MetroLink Station!
