Limerick City and County Council are planning to relaunch the Greenway under its new name The Limerick Greenway in the summer of 2021.

A new suite of marketing materials are currently under development by Springboard and Totem who were strategically involved in the marketing of the Waterford Greenway.

Once complete, the upgraded greenway with its new name will be an important attraction for Limerick and surrounding counties.

Kerry County Council also has plans to develop their own Greenway to connect to the Limerick greenway. There is a commitment to work together in marketing the greenways to attract tourists to Limerick and North Kerry.
