Three Mile Creek Greenway — Tricentennial Park return

Three Mile Creek Greenway — Tricentennial Park return — detailed guide

Source review: 2026-10-22. A dated source review does not guarantee current-day conditions.

An established improved bicycle outing with a public recreational start. Read the selected extent and access notes before planning a visit.

Start and parking

Start: Tricentennial Park, 2121 Bragg Avenue, Mobile, AL.

Use designated public Tricentennial Park visitor parking and walk to the greenway. Hospital staff/patient lots are not assumed to be public trail parking. The parks department’s 48 North Sage Avenue office is not this trailhead.

Ride and distance

Selected ride: Up to 2 miles return. Format: Out and back.

Ride: Join the designated Three Mile Creek main greenway from Tricentennial Park. Follow the completed park/University Hospital section up to 1 mile outward and retrace. Turn at its built end or an earlier barrier; do not use future connectors, hospital service drives or a traffic-road detour.

Chosen outward distance plus the same return. Parking walks are additional, and an earlier end, barrier or unsuitable surface shortens the outing.

Surface and effort

Paved main shared-use greenway; bridge transitions vary. Urban creekside greenway with access ramps and junctions; no surveyed maximum slope.

Crossings and shared use

Slow at park access drives, junctions, bridge approaches and busy pedestrian areas. Follow the designated bicycle path; ordinary roads and natural footpaths are excluded. Yield to pedestrians, keep right, and slow at blind corners. Stop at barriers; never use a traffic-road detour to bypass a trail closure.

Hours, costs and access

City safety guidance closes the greenway from 10 p.m. until dawn; choose daylight. No casual trail-use tariff established in the reviewed sources; posted parking and admission terms govern.

Reviewed 2026-10-22. Current city status lists the University Hospital connector complete and the MLK connector in pre-construction. City’s capital plan identifies the built Tricentennial Park portion. This outing remains separate from Japanese Gardens until the intervening connectors actually open. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.

Map and Directions

Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
