The Loop
Connecting SouthPark
About The Loop
The Loop is a 3-mile urban trail that creates and connects great places in the SouthPark area. The Loop will accommodate bicycles and pedestrians, creating a healthy, vibrant, colorful, and convenient activity center.
Private investments will enhance the public realm by connecting destinations and public spaces together, creating a more engaging experience for residents, employees, and visitors in SouthPark.
SouthPark Community Partners is proud to champion this transformational public-private partnership in collaboration with the City of Charlotte.
