Tour Overview
Walk the length of Emeryville’s treasured Greenway, a former rail spur, and learn about some of the historic spots along the way.
The Emeryville Greenway is a “rails to trails” success story that converted parts of a Southern Pacific interurban passenger and freight line into a walkable and bikeable path that runs the length of the city.
This 1.5 mile long, self-guided walking tour details 26 stories behind the existing brick & concrete buildings and other razed structures. These stories hearken back to the city’s founding, industrial past, as well as more contemporary stories spotlighting the city’s development and growth.
