Downtown Cedar Rapids is full of recreation opportunities, whether you are walking, riding or just relaxing.
Greene Square Park is located in the heart of downtown at 400 4th Avenue, SE. Over two acres of green grass, trees, beautiful flowers and artwork make this park seem like an oasis inside of our bustling city. This quiet place of tranquility during the day turns into a spectacle during Uptown Friday Nights! Friends crowd the park just to get the perfect spot on the grass to dance along with the music of local bands. For more information, visit www.cedar-rapids.org/parks/index.asp.
The Cedar River Trail is an all weather trail that extends through Downtown, traveling through wild flowers and trees, along the streets of downtown, and offers a chance to see the gorgeous views of the Riverfront. This trail offers miles of walking and riding opportunities that can be fun for all ages! For more information, visit www.linncountytrails.com.

Stay tuned for more information on these exciting plans…
