Greenline
Basics  Land for the stationhouse was purchased from our community partner, MLGW Website Design by Wendy Holden |
The V&E Greenline is a 1.7-mile rails-to-trails park that is owned by the neighborhood and was purchased by the neighborhood in 1996. The trail runs from Springdale to Watkins, with intersections at Stonewall, Evergreen, Mclean, and Jackson, in Memphis, TN. Visit the V&E Greenline history page. We hope to see you on the Greenline.

Heavy Flooding near the Greenline (May 1).
The youngest Greenline Volunteer helping to mow. With the beginning of Spring, our volunteers are out mowing, trimming, performing trail maintenance, etc. Please be mindful of our workers by not using the trail if marked by caution tape and avoid walking too close to individuals working on the trail, especially with power equipment. Remember it is easier for you to see them, then for our volunteers to see you.

Commercial Appeal September 7, 2008
On August 25, 2008, areas of Memphis received three inches of rain. This led to high water (and some urban and basement flooding) in neighborhoods near Lick Creek, including sections of the Greenline. This picture shows the rushing water under the Lick Creek Bridge. It is approximately 15 feet above normal. Thanks to the Coonin family for the picture.
