greenway features:Reclaiming Brown Station Land�ll and using it as an active athletic �eldand horse training area. Taking a once toxic area and creating a healthy,functional, and inviting area where people can recreate.
Linking loops are spaced between the major park ‘nodes’ in order toencourage people from the developments and future developmentsto enter the greenway.
Upper Marlboro is the major development density of the areaas well as a connection point between a formal loop and themain natural path spine.
The primary spine of the greenway, following the WesternBranch stream valley, is a natural hiker oriented path. While the formal looping extending outward is intendedto invite bikers, joggers, and strollers.
There are several possible extension and expansion points along the greenway. They extend towards other major cities, nodes,parks, and other points of interest in the area.
Environmentally sensitive design,driven by contour trail design, createsa sustainable greenway. For major roads, land bridges span the gapallowing people and fauna to cross.

Enterprise Golf Course/Newton White Mansion provides a tract of land, totaling 586 acres: Includes a golf course and a historic Neo-Georgian-style brick mansion.
Watkins Regional Park is an extensive and comprehensive collection of trails, �elds, educational centers, entertainment, and camping sites.
Major roads provide an opportunity to connect people and wildlife, now disconnected areas, through the use of landbridges or other techniques.
Brown Station Land�ll is undesirable as it is now; however, it's a great chance to educate people by revitilizing a toxic area and reclaiming the land for a great use.
Collington and Western Branch stream valleys provide tremendous opportunities for the natural experience and a set of linear parks up both paths.
Local schools provide a wonderful opportunity for education. The greenway could also serve as a connector between schools to link students easier.
Downtown Upper Marlboro contains numerous historic properties and is located on the line connecting the greenway endpoints, therefore making it a pivotal hub.
Show Place Arena and Equestrian Center is a multifunctional venue atrracting many people holding a wide variety of events ranging from boxing to basketball to equestrian shows, and more.
Jug Bay is a 1,600 acre area comprised of tidal freshwater wetlands, forests, meadows, and �elds along the Patuxent River, on the eastern edge of Prince George’s County.

Patuxent River Park is the means in which people observe Jug Bay as well as the river itself. Headquarteredon Jug Bay, it provides a pivotal link in educating and preserving the critical and sensitive bay environment.
Distance informs how far and how much the users are willing to walk, ride, or hike. Intervalbetween nodes or trailheads are the way to combat the distance issue.
Powerlines have speci�c restrictions about crossing and should be avoided as much as possible. If neccessary, crossing should be made perpendicular to the line.
Recent development is an eyesore, contributes noise pollution, draws in high volume of construction vehicles and equipment and should be avoided in the greenway.
Marlboro Clay is not desired for trails/structures because of its characteristic to take water and become sloppy and unstable.
Topography prevents land from being developable; steep slopes and terrain should be avoided. Design shouldwork with the existing terrain and avoid the steep slope areas.
Commercial/Industrial Areas are not desired destinations on a greenway, and should be avoided because they are eyesores, polluted, and primarily hardscape.
Contrasting Interest can present a problem with the community acceptance of a design. Bikers may want one thing, hikers want a second option, and joggers want a third. Variety, �exability, and comprise are the solution.
Boundaries serve as limits and constraints as to where the greenway can go. Private property cannot be crossed,and it must be contained within Prince George’s County.
Public Services such as sewage plants, police stations, etc are neccessary parts of communities, butare not good to include in a greenway system.
