8 Mile Creek Trail


We have begun phase one of developing an 8 mile trail beginning in the Sundale Area near Rotary Softball Park that will extend along highway 49. This project will provide Greene County Residents with a beautiful addition to the community as well as a safe route for pedestrians seeking to live a more active lifestyle. The City Of Paragould will be a full sponsor for this endeavor!

We enjoyed food and fun at Paragould's Get DownTown Festival last year! Donations from this event went towards raising money to hire grant writers to our promote recycling, greenspace and urband biking/hiking trail projects.


This year, we're hoping for an even better turn-out! You can expect to find a variety of activities including 5Ks, cycling events and of course, plenty of food and live music! All proceeds go towards the Greene County Future Fund! Click here to learn more
