Urban Section of Irwin Creek Greenway
Description:
Urban Irwin and Stewart Creek Greenways are joined by the Wesley Heights Connector. The urban part of the system connects Wesley Heights neighborhood and Third Ward. Nearby amenities include Uptown Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium, Wallace Pruitt Recreation Center, Ray's Splash Planet, Irwin Avenue Elementary School, Johnson & Wales University, Frazier Park, James Dennis Rash Third Ward Neighborhood Park, Historic Elmwood Cemetery, Our Children's Memorial Walkway and Martin Luther King Park.
Eventually these greenways will be connected as a contiguous greenway that extends from Sunset Road (Stewart Creek) and Nevin Regional Park at Old Statesville Road (Irwin Creek) south to Billy Graham Parkway. Irwin Creek then becomes Sugar Creek and continues as a greenway system beyond the South Carolina state line.
Nature Facts:
Wildlife is spotted frequently along the creek including Mallard Duck and Great Blue Heron. The trail is only a few minutes' walk from Johnson & Wales University, Gateway Village and uptown condos and offers a quiet place to relax during the busy day.
