The Emerald Trail is a 30-mile bicycle/pedestrian trail and linear park system that will connect 14 historic neighborhoods and downtown Jacksonville to local and regional trails, parks, schools, businesses, transit, and other destinations. The nonprofit Groundwork Jacksonville, in partnership with the City of Jacksonville and JTA, is developing the trail network.
The groundbreaking for the second section of the Emerald Trail, the Hogan Street Link, took place in fall 2025, with construction continuing through 2026.
