City of Knoxville Press Release:

Loves Creek Greenway is located within the City limits and begins at the Knox County-owned Spring Place Park. Built in-house by City of Knoxville crews, the trail is approximately a half-mile of crushed limestone and is the first phase for the greenway plan that will eventually reach from Spring Place to New Harvest Park.

More coverage from WBIR:

"We want to move people. We want them to have access to greenways and other exercise facilities. This is a cheap way to get people out and exercise, get out and walk. We want to connect people with places. So, we're trying to connect people to places of employment to places of retail. We're trying to connect this trail down to Knoxville Center," - David Brace, city public service director
