The 375 metre stretch of three metre wide greenway connects the Strathfoyle Greenway to Maydown Greenway via Stradown Drive in Strathfoyle Village. Work on the site has included a new asphalt surfaced greenway along with lighting, fencing and landscaping.
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, developed the greenway.

Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Lilian Seenoi-Barr, officially opened the greenway and praised those involved with the project for their efforts.
"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."
