The Greenway will reconnect the two neighborhoods providing a walkable, skateable, bikeable, art-filled corridor leading into Downtown Pensacola and the waterfront. It is also being designed to treat stormwater, as this area has historically been prone to flooding.
The HTW Greenway project is being managed by Escambia County and funded through “Restore” funds from the 2010 BP oil spill. The design team for the Greenway is led by HDR Engineering, the same firm that designed the Atlanta Beltline. The Beltline ultimately led to the connectivity and revitalization of many Atlanta neighborhoods.
We are thrilled that the skatepark will be part of the Hollice T Williams Greenway.
