Peabody Independence Greenway Project Update

On October 10 Peabody Rotary Club members celebrated completion of their work on a 2.9 mile section of the Independence Greenway Path that runs through Peabody. The paved trail is a gem that attracts walkers, bikers, and runners.

Peabody Rotary’s 100th anniversary project began in 2020 and involved making key improvements in the path.

Initially club members installed a water station, bench, and improved the Kristen Crowley spur that starts on Lowell Street and heads toward Danvers.

Over the 4 years of the project additional benches and trash receptacles were installed. The project culminated in the creation of six signs with maps and information about landmarks and history of the area.
