The Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the city of Greensburg recently celebrated the opening of the Rebekah Trail Extension.
The extension adds 0.43 miles of asphalt trail in Greensburg connecting Rebekah Park, Pirate Park, and the Greensburg-Decatur County Public Library. The existing trail connects to Greensburg Elementary School, Greensburg High School, athletic fields, and residential neighborhoods. A future INDOT project will install a side path trail along State Road 46/Main Street to connect to downtown.
The project was constructed by the city with help from a $417,818 grant from dedicating trail funding from DNR. This is the first of 14 projects of round 4 trail grants that were awarded in December 2023 to be completed.
“The extension of the Rebekah Trail provides an important connection in Greensburg for people to get outside and connect with both their community and each other,” said Dale Brier, deputy director of community grants and trails for Indiana State Parks. “DNR is proud to be part of making this trail extension possible.”
