About the Midland Greenway

The Midland Greenway is a rails-to-trails path on an old railroad line just south of the downtown Gainesville square. Once called the Midtown Greenway, it runs north to south and links downtown to the Highlands to Islands Trail, with a dog park, playground, FitCourt and amphitheater along the way.
