Eden Greenway (Assessed by Adrian)

Eden Greenway

A linear park stretching from Hesperian to 880.

When I first walked into this park I was surprised by how big it was. This park seems like a very nice place to go for a walk with friends and family. It is also a great place to take your kids to run around at. Though there is no play structure, there is a lot of great space for kids to roam.
