When the Aluminum Company of America established the City of Alcoa, it committed to creating one acre of park for every 100 residents. Springbrook Park was established in 1925. More than 3,000 shade trees and 6,000 flowering shrubs were planted along city streets and in parks between 1917 and 1920. In 1973, more than 18,000 trees were planted, and Alcoa was designated a Tree City in 1986. Construction of Alcoa's Greenway trails began in Springbrook Park in 1991, and between 1996 and 2011, 11.76 miles of Greenway trails and sidewalk connectors were built.
