The Kingston Greenline is a system of trails, linear parks, and complete streets that when fully developed will connect residents & visitors to Kingston’s natural, historic, cultural and commercial assets.

Initiative Lead: Ted Griese
The Kingston Greenline supports non-motorized transportation by making it easier and safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities to travel throughout the city. The system connects communities and provides residents better access to open space, exercise opportunities, and healthy food options.
The Kingston Greenline also serves as a hub for regional trails like the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and O&W Rail Trail, and the Hudson River Valley Greenway trails, and is also part of the Empire State Trail. The Kingston Greenline is a joint initiative of the Kingston Land Trust, City of Kingston, and Ulster County.

As we monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hoping to resume group walks and clean up activities along the Kingston Greenline in 2021. Sign up and stay tuned for updates!
-
You can also use the sign up form to indicate if you're interested in solo/self-guided maintenance and monitoring. Let us know if you'd like to discuss a task or be oriented to a trail section. The KLT can also arrange to provide tools, gloves, garbage bags, and other materials if needed. If you or your group would like to more formally adopt one of the trail sections for regular or long term stewardship, let us know!
-
Please follow social distancing and virus spread prevention guidelines while working on the trail.
-
Feel free to share any photos, stories, or feedback from your experience on the trail to help us grow the program!
