Greensboro Parks and Recreation Annual Report 2024-25

In 2024-25 alone, soccer events utilizing Bryan Park contributed to $48 million in economic impact – with a total impact in excess of $170 million since 2018. These figures demonstrate Parks and Recreation’s strong relevance to Greensboro’s tourism industry and ability to advance the City’s goal of “Youth Sports Capital”. Mountain Biking is for Everyone Outdoor recreation opportunities should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. That’s why back in October 2024 the City celebrated the opening of the Keeley Park Adaptive Mountain Bike Trail – a nearly two-mile long adaptive mountain biking trail created to support cyclists who may not be able to ride a standard mountain bike due to mobility challenges. Special attention was given to the design and vegetation of the trail to accommodate the two Lasher Sport ATH-FSe three-wheeled mountain bikes that Parks and Recreation purchased – which are wider, longer, and heavier than traditional two-wheeled bikes. These specialty bikes, which are free of charge to use, are top-tier electric-assist handcycles designed for off-road adventure. To help folks learn the ins-and-outs of these bikes, the Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation section of Parks and Recreation offers four progressive training levels, with each focused on essential biking and safety skills. Each session is two-hours long and paced to meet the individual needs of each rider. For more information, check out the Greensboro Parks and Recreation website at www. greensboro-nc.gov/aMTB.
