DID YOU KNOW? The paths in Meadowland Park are part of the South Orange Greenway. The next phase of the Greenway will be constructed in the coming year, connecting 3rd St to W Parker Ave with a multi-use path for walking and bicycling along the Rahway River. Maplewood will create its first Greenway path from W Parker Ave to Jefferson Ave, continuing the Greenway southward along the river.

The Greenway Bike/Walk Parade is presented by Walk Bike Ride South Orange, along with the South Orange Green Team & Environmental Commission, and the South Orange Police Department.
