Print Friendly MapAt 2.6 miles, the Staten Island Greenbelt Multi-Purpose Trail offers a nice jaunt for joggers, walkers, and cyclists alike. The crushed-stone path is 6-feet wide and runs from Rockland Avenue to Richmond Avenue, following along the perimeter of LaTourette golf course and paralleling Forest Hill Road.
At Richmond Avenue, you can connect to the New Springville Greenway, a north-south route that parallels the roadway for 3.3 miles between Bulls Head and Eltingville.
Perhaps the best access for the Staten Island Greenbelt Multi-Purpose Trail is from the Nature Center, 700 Rockland Avenue (intersection of Brielle Avenue). For more information, visit the Greenbelt Conservancy.
The trail itself is a great addition, especially so close to a very suburban retail corridor so you can escape from it all. But erosion from many rains has never been repaired, leaving dangerous ruts for cyclists & runners both. And along the extension to Richmondtown, there is a tree that is now leaning precariously over the trail. This tree could fall on someone any moment, but it has yet to be removed.
