The Derby Greenway was officially opened with a dedication on Derby Day - June 25, 2006. At that point in time, the 1.7 mile trail was completely open from Main and Bridge Street to Division Street.  Click here for photos from the Grand Opening.

An enhancement phase is currently underway adding items such as benches and bike racks and historical signage. A major part was completed on September 1, 2007 (Click here for the latest update and highlights from the dedication.) Planning for Phase III which will extend the Greenway across the Naugatuck River and run down to Orange along the east bank of the Housatonic River is currently underway, but construction is not expected until 2009. As always, we'll keep you posted!
