Victor Ashe Greenway

Victor Ashe Greenway is located within Victor Ashe Park and connects to the Northwest Greenway along Green Heron Creek, a tributary of Third Creek.

This greenway is a favorite for dog owners and their leashed dogs, as it is adjacent to a public dog park, Dogwood Park.

Victor Ashe Greenway also features a leg that connects the park to Pleasant Ridge Greenway along Pleasant Ridge Road.

Victor Ashe Park's 1.5 miles of unpaved trails are also a favorite destination for cross-country runners.

HISTORY OF THE PARK / GREENWAY

Victor Henderson Ashe II, served as Mayor of Knoxville from 1987 to 2003. Ashe was an avid supporter of parkland in the city, and during his tenure, parkland increased from 700 acres to 1,700 acres and 30 miles of greenway was added. Ashe was awarded a Cornelius Amory Pugsley Medal by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration in recognition of his work on greenways and public parks. Ashe later served as United States Ambassador to Poland.
