The Carrollton GreenBelt is an 18-mile shared-use path designed for pedestrians and non-motorized users. The trail connects existing neighborhoods with the city school campus, the University of West Georgia, the city parks, and several commercial shopping areas. The Carrollton GreenBelt is the largest green-space and greenway conservation project that the City of Carrollton has undertaken. It is also the largest paved loop trail system in the state of Georgia.
The Carrollton GreenBelt serves the community in several capacities. It is a recreational amenity and — given the planned, strategic location of the trail — the community also uses the trail as an alternative to automobile travel.
With an increase in population and sedentary lifestyles, the GreenBelt provides an opportunity to integrate recreation with transportation, combating several negative health trends impacting Carrollton.
The trail system, which connects many neighborhoods with the city schools, also provides a safe, convenient and fun opportunity for students to walk or bike to school.
