New connections. More ways to explore.

The Kennett Greenway is a growing network of multi-use trails connecting neighborhoods, parks, nature, and local destinations throughout the Kennett region. As the 14-mile loop continues to take shape, every new connection puts more of Kennett within reach.

Greenway CONNECTED celebrates these milestones and the partnerships that make them possible. Each trail opening begins with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by an inaugural walk and ride that invites the community to be among the first to experience the newest connection together.

With every new section, another piece of the 14-mile loop falls into place, creating more paths to walk, bike, and explore, and more ways to connect with nature, each other, and the places that matter most.

Where will the Kennett Greenway take you next?

Celebrate a New Connection on the Kennett Greenway

Join Kennett Trails Alliance to celebrate the opening of the newest section of the Kennett Greenway, creating more than 2 miles of continuous trail from the Borough of Kennett Square to Chandler Mill Preserve.

We’ll kick things off with an official ribbon cutting at Pennock Park. Then, be among the first to experience the new connection for yourself. Walk, bike, or roll along the Kennett Greenway to Cannery Row, where the celebration continues with food, beverages, family-friendly activities, community partners, and local businesses.

More trail means more ways to get around Kennett on foot or by bike, with every new connection bringing more of the community within reach.

Celebrate. Explore. Connect.
