Conservation Areas

The parkland and conservation areas of Greenbriar Cove will provide residents with endless hours of communing with nature. The serene and undisturbed nature preserve area is abundant with wildflowers and wildlife. A peaceful stroll or brisk walk among the estimated 17 acres set aside for nature recreation is sure to reward and rejuvenate. The quality of life is enhanced from the moment one steps out the front door to explore Greenbriar Cove.

The Wolftever Creek Greenway is a paved, pedestrian walking and exercise trail. It was built to provide a safe trail for residents.

Beginning at the Imagination Station playground behind City Hall, Phase I stretches approximately seven-tenths of a mile. It continues north underneath Apison Pike until it intersects Wolftever Creek, follows it east, and goes underneath Ooltewah Ringgold Road, near the pond. Phase II goes over the Ooltewah Ringgold Road bridge and turns east on the other side of Wolftever Creek to Spalding Drive. Phase II is approximately eight-tenths of a mile. Phase III continues from Spalding Drive across Tucker Road to the Nature Nook located at Tallant Road and Apison Pike.

Additions to the greenway are being planned that will continue throughout the city and provide a safe means for walking and exercising.

The Nature Nook is an amphitheatre located at the intersection of Tallant Road and Apison Pike along the Wolftever Creek Greenway. It was built by the East Hamilton County Kiwanis Club, who donated it to local residents. The amphitheatre is nestled among the trees, and residents can use it at no charge.
