NEAT (North Evergreen Activity Trails) is a trail system designed to provide safety, access, recreation and fitness throughout our community. The need for a safe, multi-use trail system, linking the densely-populated neighborhoods of North Evergreen to area schools, the Buchanan Recreation Center & Arts Center, and the rapidly developing Bergen Park commercial corridor, is self-evident. Specifically, Bergen Parkway is the main thoroughfare through North Evergreen, with the following interests concentrated near it:
4 major North Evergreen subdivisions with over 1200 families The Ridge, The Island, The Golfclub and The Trails at Hiwan;
3 public schools with 1400 children preschool thru 8th grade Evergreen Middle School, Bergen Meadows Elementary and Bergen Valley Elementary;
Buchanan Park Rec Area 33,000 sf rec center, plus 2 full sports fields, arts center, and 67-acre Buchanan Park in the works;
6 shopping areas over 100 businesses, both local and national; and
Evergreen Fire & Rescue Department one of the largest volunteer fire department and training facility in the state.
