Clarksville Greenway popularity creating Parking Problems

Clarksville, TN – With warm weather increasing use of the Clarksville Greenway, the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department is asking visitors to respect parking guidelines while enjoying the outdoors.

Parking at Pollard Road Trailhead is limited and parking on the roadway is not permitted. Vehicles parked on the roadway obstruct traffic and could delay emergency or medical personnel response time and prevent nearby property owners from moving farm equipment.

The Clarksville Parking Commission would like to remind everyone that violators will be ticketed and towed if necessary.

Additional Clarksville Greenway entrances are at Heritage Park and Mary’s Oak Trailhead.

Patrons are encouraged to use those as an alternative to the Pollard Road Trailhead.

The trailhead with the most parking is at Heritage Park on Peachers Mill Road.
