A new riverside shared walking and cycling pathway in Devonport is now open.
The 2.2km stretch from Maidstone Park at Spreyton to Horsehead Creek at Quoiba, was built by the Devonport City Council, with the assistance of a $1.27 million grant from the State Government under the Better Active Transport Grants Programme.
The accessible route will be suitable for all ages and abilities, and although not part of the Coastal Pathway Project, which will stretch 110km from Latrobe to Wynyard when completed, the new Spreyton Connector, will link up with the Devonport part of the pathway.
Devonport Mayor Alison Jarman says the connector is creating new opportunities for walking, riding, and reconnecting with the outdoors in one of Devonport’s most scenic corridors, with gentle grades, integrated exercise stations, and storytelling features.
Councillor Jarman says the pathway is more than a transit link and it’s a celebration of Spreyton’s rich history and vibrant community.
