The 375 metre stretch of three metre wide greenway connects the Strathfoyle Greenway to Maydown Greenway via Stradowen Drive in Strathfoyle Village.

The 375 metre stretch of three metre wide greenway connects the Strathfoyle Greenway to Maydown Greenway via Stradown Drive in Strathfoyle Village.
The greenway was developed by Derry City and Strabane District Council in partnership with funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund’s Community and Place programme.
Work on the site has included a new asphalt surfaced greenway along with lighting, fencing and landscaping.
Speaking at the opening, Mayor Barr praised everyone involved in delivering the latest section of the City and District’s greenway network.
“I am delighted for the people of Strathfoyle and cyclists, runners and walkers across the City and District that this latest piece of greenway infrastructure is now open for public use,” she said.

“This latest piece of the greenway jigsaw will further connect Strathfoyle and Maydown to the city centre, attract more visitors to this scenic area, and well be a welcome addition to the Waterside Half Marathon route in 2025.
“Expanding our extensive greenway network and encouraging active travel is a key element of Council’s Strategic Growth Plan, and this project further demonstrates how we can achieve that vision with health and wellbeing to the fore.”
