Trails · Midwood to Pineville
A long paved linear trail along Little Sugar Creek connecting multiple Charlotte neighborhoods and parks, managed by Mecklenburg County. The greenway passes public art, creek views, and shaded corridor sections, with connections at Thompson Park and Cordelia Park. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the county greenway system.
Miles of flat, shaded paved trail give leashed dogs a proper long walk minutes from Uptown, with creek access points for a paw rinse on hot days.
Mecklenburg County requires dogs to be leashed (no longer than 6 feet) on greenways and in parks except inside designated off-leash dog parks, and owners must pick up waste. Posted greenway hours were not published on the page reviewed.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
