Bask in the beauty of Plymouth’ s parks and trails

Plymouth is nationally recognized for its parks and trail system. Altogether, the greenspace makes up more than 182 miles of trails and 1,827 acres of parkland, which includes 67 developed parks as well as natural areas, open space and trail corridors.
The city works hard to provide a high-quality park and open space system that toes a balance of active and passive recreational opportunities. The system includes several types of parks and facilities: special use, community playfields, neighborhood parks and more.
NORTHWEST GREENWAY
The Northwest Greenway is a 350-acre wooded nature preserve featuring a winding bike and pedestrian trails, stretching approximately two linear miles from Lake Camelot on the east side of Plymouth to the Northwest Greenway Pavilion and Challenge Course on the west.
Serving two main purposes, the Northwest Greenway preserves natural resources to provide a wildlife corridor in an area of Plymouth that is rich with high quality wetlands and trees, and manages to provide close to 7.5 miles of paved trails for walking and biking with scenic overlooks, an openair pavilion for hosting gatherings and events with access to parking, restrooms, drinking fountains and more.
