Lindley Park residents can enjoy nature as well as city life
In 1917, a Greensboro man named John Van Lindley donated a 60-acre plot of land to the city. It is now home to the Lindley Park community, which rests alongside his eponymous park. A neighborhood association lobbies for amenities like new sidewalks and additional shade trees to replace any aging ones. Community members enjoy a variety of restaurants and businesses within walking distance of homes, and the zoned elementary school is also within the area. With acres of green space nearby, locals have the benefits of nature while remaining close to city amenities.
Lindley Park is located 5 miles west of downtown Greensboro.

Lindley Park and the Greensboro Arboretum
The community surrounds its namesake, Lindley Park, which offers more than 100 acres of green space. It has two playgrounds — one of them is built with inclusive play equipment and wheel-friendly surfaces. Beside the park is the Greensboro Arboretum, a 17-acre space comprised of themed gardens. “It’s a very popular park,” says Roger Pitney, who has lived in the Greensboro area since 1988. “There is a greenway running through, and you can get some exercise and watch the water flowing.” Just west of Holden Road, avid golfers can find the Starmount Forest Country Club, an invitation-only country club that has hosted golf greats such as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. The Greensboro Coliseum Complex and Greensboro Aquatic Center are less than 1 mile from Lindley Park, and there are several nearby bowling alleys as well.

Along Spring Garden Street, the aptly named Spring Garden Bakery & Coffee offers a variety of muffins and provides vegan and gluten-free choices. Nearby Bestway grocery store carries a good selection of necessities, but many locals do their weekly shopping at Whole Foods and Harris Teeter, about 2 miles away.

Getting around the Greensboro area
Greensboro’s location makes it central to several North Carolina cities. “Our infrastructure is phenomenal — we have highways, ring roads and an international airport,” Pitney says. “It makes it easy for people to get to jobs in Raleigh and Durham. We also have several industries that have moved to town, including a Boom Supersonic airline manufacturing operation and a Toyota battery factory.” Lindley Park is bisected by Wendover Avenue, a six-lane divided highway that merges with U.S. Routes 70 and 220 and intersects with U.S. Route 29. Greensboro Transit Authority buses make stops along West Market Street and Spring Garden Street and run to and from downtown Greensboro. The nearest airport, the Piedmont Triad International Airport, is about 11 miles away, and it offers direct flights to 13 domestic destinations. The closest Level II Trauma Center is located in the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, less than a 5-mile drive from Lindley Park.
