GREENSBURG, Ind. – The City of Greensburg, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and community stakeholders, officially broke ground Thursday on Greensburg’s trail network expansion. The new addition will establish a vital trailhead in Rebekah Park, connecting the Eastside Trail and Greensburg Community Schools Trail to Main Street.
The project, made possible in part by a $417,818 grant from Next Level Trails (NLT), represents a total investment of $596,918 into Greensburg’s growing trail system. This expansion will extend the trail 0.25 miles west and south, linking key community assets such as Pirate Park, the Decatur County Public Library, and Main Street Trail leading to downtown Greensburg.
“We strongly believe in the importance of investing in our communities, and this project is a testament to that commitment,” said Greensburg Mayor Joshua Marsh.
The new trail will be multi-use, 12 feet wide, and ADA-accessible, ensuring a safe and convenient passage for walkers, runners, and cyclists. The expansion will improve the connection between residential neighborhoods, schools, athletic fields, the public library, and Rebekah Park’s many amenities—such as the Inclusion Park, Splash Pad, pickleball courts, amphitheater, and bark park.
“This expansion is a crucial step toward building a city-wide trail network that safely connects our community,” said Decatur County Community Foundation Executive Director Tami Wenning.
