St. Vincent Greenway, featuring a 10-foot-wide asphalt trail, will connect three major parks and small neighborhood parks, seven MetroLink stations, a major new historic or cultural attraction, a university campus and new and planned future economic developments. It will follow Engelholm Creek, a tributary of River Des Peres.

St. Vincent Greenway will be part of a "River Ring" of interconnecting greenways, parks and trails that Great Rivers and its counterpart in Illinois are building throughout the region. In Missouri, the district is funded by a voter-approved one-tenth of one cent sales tax that brings in about $10 million a year. About 600 miles of River Ring greenways eventually will criss-cross the bistate region.
