That Greenway will eventually stretch from Green Hill Park to Explore Park.
This section in Salem is about a half mile long and runs along the Roanoke River behind the Moyer Sports Complex.

Two weeks ago, someone stole the fiberglass dinosaur called (DY-no) Dino McSporran.
The dinosaur was painted red plaid and was located on Bridge Street in Uptown Martinsville.
The Piedmont Arts Association, which sponsors the dinos parade exhibit, believes it took two people to remove the dinosaur because it was bolted to the sidewalk.
The Association is offering a 200 dollar reward for the dinosaur's safe return.
You're urged to call Martinsville Police if you have any information on this case.
