The Green Necklace is an urban greenway that forms a 7.5km scenic loop around the City centre, linking historic parks and buildings, public spaces and commercial areas.
An off-street multi-use path, the Green Necklace provides a safe transportation and recreational route for all ages and abilities. We designed the Green Necklace to enhance walkability in the City with important connections to other trail systems such as the North Shore Spirit Trail.
