The first mile of the Peachtree Creek Greenway, a multi-purpose trail similar to the Atlanta Beltline, will officially open to the public on Thursday, Dec. 12.
A $10 million project, the first portion of the path runs between North Druid Hills Road and Briarwood Road in Brookhaven, along the North Fork Peachtree Creek.
Eventually, proponents of the project hope it will extend for 12 miles, ultimately connecting with the Beltline.

A grand opening celebration for the first segment is scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m. at 1801 Corporate Boulevard. It falls on the exact one-year anniversary of the groundbreaking for construction of the greenway.
“This is just the first of the project’s three construction phases,” Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst said in a statement. “As each phase is completed, residents will have for their enjoyment a multi-use trail that will provide alternate transportation, enhance the environment, encourage economic opportunities and promote healthy lifestyles for those along its growing corridor.”
