In 1990 the Town of Southern Pines adopted a master plan that included a greenway system. The master plan was revised in 1996. Currently, there are 11 miles of greenway with future growth mapped out. The Town Council adopted the master plan and have funded the greenway's expansion, while some of the greenway system was developed when communities were built in Southern Pines (such as Forest Creek).

The Southern Pines Recreation & Parks Department is leading the way in the Sandhills area with its greenway trail system. Pedestrian and bicycle use are allowed.
