Still River Greenway
The Still River Greenway is a multi-use trail and greenway along the Still River in Brookfield, Connecticut. With both phases complete, the trail runs from the Brookfield Municipal Center to the Brookfield Town Center and is completely paved. The other section of the trail runs from the Municipal Center, and loops around in the woods.
History
The concept of a greenway in Brookfield was first proposed in 2000, when the Town of Brookfield conducted a Residents Needs Assessments study. Construction began in 2011, with Phase One being completed in 2012 and Phase Two being completed in 2016. A total of 20,000 to 30,000 people are expected to use the greenway in its first year.There are plans to connect the greenway to points north in New Milford, and to the south in Danbury. The eventual goal is to create a trail network that stretches from New Milford to Norwalk, where it would connect into the East Coast Greenway.
