The path follows the perimeter of the park and runs alongside the major park attractions including the playground, the horseshoe pit, the bird habitat, Boathouse Lake and Horseshoe Lake. • Carondelet Connector (1 mile) is a concrete path that connects Carondelet Park and the River des Peres Greenway at I-55 and Germania. From the River des Peres Greenway, the connector continues north along the I-55 right-of-way, alongside the Loughborough Commons Shopping Center, through a short tunnel under Loughborough Avenue to Carondelet Park at Grand Drive, next to the entrance to the Carondelet Park Rec Complex YMCA. • Christy Greenway and Trail (1 mile) is a neighborhood connector trail that stretches from Germania Avenue at River des Peres to Holly Hills Boulevard at Christy Boulevard where it connects to the on-street Bike St. Louis system. There is also a serpentine trail that forks off and takes you through the Old St. Marcus Cemetery Park, ending at Gravois Road across from the Aldi store. • The River des Peres Greenway now stretches nearly 10 miles from Lemay Park north to Slay Park. The greenway connects directly to the Gravois Greenway via a bridge over the River des Peres, just east of Interstate 55. It also connects to the Shrewsbury MetroLink Station, the Holly Hills neighborhood and Carondelet Park. • Gravois Greenway (Grant’s Trail) meanders more than 12 miles through seven municipalities and connects several parks, schools, neighborhoods, libraries, historic sites and athletic facilities. It currently extends from a trailhead at Holmes and Leffingwell avenues in Kirkwood to the River des Peres Greenway (just east of Interstate Highway 55 at River City Blvd.) in the city of St. Louis. The four greenways and connectors create more than 30 continuous miles for walking, riding bikes, pushing a stroller and using a wheelchair. Source: Great Rivers Greenway.
