罗利绿道系统迎50周年，10月以自然步行与展览系列活动庆祝
罗利消息——罗利市绿道系统今年迎来建成50周年，市政府在10月安排了一系列庆祝活动。据罗利市政府经DoRaleigh发布的活动信息，10月3日下午4时30分至6时，威尔克森自然保护区（Wilkerson Nature Preserve）举行导览自然步行，带领市民认识绿道沿线的本地生态。
系列活动还包括10月2日至22日在市立博物馆展出的绿道主题快闪展览、10月6日的专题讲座、10月8日的庆祝招待会，以及10月9日至10日的志愿者服务日。罗利绿道始建于上世纪70年代，如今已连通全市众多公园、河流与社区，是市民骑行、慢跑与亲近自然的主要空间，也被视为这座「橡树之城」的重要名片。
市政府表示，半个世纪的扩建让绿道网络成为罗利生活品质的一部分，周年活动多数免费开放，市民可通过市政府网站查阅各场次的报名方式与集合地点。
罗利的首都地区绿道系统全长超过100英里，沿纽斯河（Neuse River）、蟹树溪（Crabtree Creek）等水系展开，串联起60多个公园与众多社区，不少路段既是休闲步道，也是居民骑行通勤的路线，被市政府视为与道路、公交并列的绿色基础设施。市公园部门介绍，绿道的维护依靠市政预算与大量志愿者，50周年志愿者日将组织步道清理与植被修复，市民可在市政府网站报名。市立博物馆的快闪展览将展出绿道建设的老照片与规划图，呈现这套系统如何从上世纪70年代的一条河边小径，成长为今天覆盖全城的网络。市政府表示，未来扩建将优先补上社区之间的断点，让更多居民步行可达绿道。

Raleigh's Greenway System Marks 50 Years With Nature Walks, Exhibits and Volunteer Days
RALEIGH — Raleigh's greenway system turns 50 this year, and the city is marking the milestone with a series of October events. According to the City of Raleigh, via DoRaleigh, a guided nature walk was held on October 3 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Wilkerson Nature Preserve, introducing residents to the ecology along the trails.
The celebration also includes a pop-up greenway exhibit at the city museum from October 2 to 22, a lecture on October 6, a reception on October 8 and volunteer days on October 9 and 10. Begun in the 1970s, Raleigh's greenways now link parks, rivers and neighborhoods across the city and are a primary space for cycling, running and time in nature — a signature feature of the 'City of Oaks.'
Officials said five decades of expansion have made the network part of Raleigh's quality of life. Most anniversary events are free, with registration details and meeting points listed on the city's website.
Raleigh's Capital Area Greenway system runs for more than 100 miles along the Neuse River, Crabtree Creek and other waterways, linking more than 60 parks and many neighborhoods; many segments double as cycling commutes, and the city treats the network as green infrastructure alongside roads and transit. The parks department says maintenance relies on the city budget and a large volunteer corps, and the anniversary volunteer days will tackle trail cleanup and planting, with sign-ups on the city website. The museum pop-up will show archival photos and early plans tracing the system's growth from a single 1970s riverside path to today's citywide web. Officials said future extensions will prioritize closing gaps between neighborhoods so more residents can reach a trail on foot.
