The 9-mile paved Maryville-Alcoa Greenway connects Springbrook Park in Alcoa with the Bicentennial Greenbelt and Sandy Springs Park in Maryville. From Alcoa, the greenway starts near the swimming pool at Springbrook Park, passes the schools, crosses Springbrook Road near Edison Road then follows Pistol Creek to Maryville. At the junction of the two cities, the greenway is marked as Mile 0. Heading north through Alcoa, the greenway travels for 5 miles. Heading southbound, the greenway goes 4 miles to and around Maryville. Along the way, the greenway loops through each of the parks (with the exception of Sandy Springs) providing users with links to shopping districts, businesses, nature areas, fitness stations, and picnic pavilions.
