About Carrollton Greenbelt

See all hotspots at Carrollton Greenbelt

With more than 18 miles of concrete path, the GreenBelt claims the title of the longest, paved loop trail in Georgia.

The shared-use path was designed for pedestrians, bikers, and other non-motorized users and to connect neighborhoods with the Carrollton City School campus, the University of West Georgia, city parks, and several commercial and shopping areas.

GreenBelt serves the community in several capacities. Primarily, it serves as a recreational opportunity. Given the planned, strategic location of the trail, the community can also utilize the trail as an alternative to vehicular travel.

The Carrollton GreenBelt is a linear city park. The trail connects several active and passive recreational areas that include ball fields, gyms, a pool, and new mountain bike trails.
