Several days ago I received a comment to Part 2 of The Roanoke River Greenway series which was left by Chris, who also operates a local blog. He was requesting use of the pictures I’ve taken of The Roanoke River Greenway, as he is working on an online map of the greenway system. (I’ll post more on that a little later.)

In my response to his comment, I mentioned that I’ve actually taken dozens and dozens of pictures along and around The Roanoke River Greenway. But, when I sit down to write a post I include only a relatively small handful of them.

Well, I couldn’t see any sense in just keeping all of the pictures stored my computer hard drive. So, here’s a few more that didn’t quite make the cut and weren’t included in the first 3 parts of the original series: Exploring Roanoke - The Roanoke River Greenway.

I’ll be back with a new Part 4 on Monday, have a great weekend!

Grasses and weeds sprout up between the planks and gravel in a set of train tracks that runs beside Wasena Park.

Construction signs cover a section of Wiley Drive underneath the Wasena Bridge, as some existing pavement is actually being replaced with greenspace in this area. A sign for The Skate Park can be seen to the left.

Shortly before the first bridge on Wiley Drive, a building appears to have been boarded up and closed. I suppose it used to be a destination for parties and receptions.

Butterflies gather on the side of the Roanoke River.
