Project Overview
The McKay Creek Greenway was designated by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners in 1996. The main purpose of the greenway is to connect several existing parks from the Florida Botanical Gardens to John S. Taylor Park.
The McKay Creek Greenway Trail will provide a connection through this extensive oasis in the middle of Pinellas County protecting the County’s natural resources. The trail will connect Heritage Village, the Florida Botanical Gardens, Walsingham Park, Ridgecrest Park and John S. Taylor Park.
