The Parkway System
Billed as the finest boulevard system in the United States, St. Joseph's
Parkway ribbons through the city for 26 miles. Developed in 1918
by internationally known landscape architect George Burnap, St. Joseph
was one of the first cities in the United States to develop an imaginative
and comprehensive parkway plan. Popular for hiking and biking activities,
the completed system connects principal parks and recreation facilities,
providing a green belt throughout the city. Anchored on the northend
by Krug Park and on the southside by Hyde Park, the miles of greenway
between feature a multitude of outdoor and indoor recreational opportunities,
walking trails and scenic overlooks. St. Joseph's Parkway is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.
St Joseph also offers golf, shopping, restaurants
and libraries. Please feel free to contact us or visit the St.
Joseph Chamber of Commerce website for more information on all
that the area has to offer.
