Parks IN Greenville

Greenville has so many parks for residents and visitors alike to enjoy! The Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department oversees maintenance in 37 parks, making up over 400 acres inside the city limits. Here are some of the most notable inside Greenville:
Falls Park on the Reedy - If you know Greenville, you know Falls Park. Right off of Main street, the park features cascading falls and Liberty Bridge, spanning 345 feet to connect West End to downtown. Five gardens on the park grounds contrast the natural beauty of the upstate with the man-made architecture of the downtown scene. The Riverwalk, part of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, can be found here along with many other short paved loops bearing historical significance as this area is where Greenville was founded. Any time of year, you can spot proposals, bridal parties, and others taking pictures while events such as The Warehouse Theatre’s Upstate Shakespeare Festival or Fidelity Investments Moonlight Movies take place occasionally during the year.
Cleveland Park - West of Falls Park and Cancer Survivors Park sits my favorite Greenville park, Cleveland Park. This is a 122-acre park featuring a fitness trail with workout stations, the Greenville Zoo, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, large-group picnic shelters, sports complexes, playgrounds, and many trails. The park is named after Greenvillean William Choice Cleveland who donated the park in 1924 at the encouragement of city leadership to complement his housing projects. Cleveland Park is the largest park in Greenville and borders the Reedy River while the Swamp Rabbit Trail runs through the park and the ‘Blue Line’ of the trail intersects the main trail here as well!
Legacy Park - Opened in 2008, Legacy Park is one of Greenville’s newest parks (but not as new as Unity Park) and was built to imitate New York City’s Central Park. This 20-acre park sits in the center of the Hollingsworth Development, featuring a wide variety of homes, and a small retail shopping area. Paved trails wander through the park with various swings, benches, playgrounds, and opportunities for many sports. The Pavillion is a popular place for gatherings and can be reserved online. The Park also has a boardwalk that connects it to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, about 6 miles from Falls Park.
Cancer Survivors Park - As stated on their website, “The intent of the Cancer Survivors Park is to create a space which provides: A space for celebration, a space for learning, a space for healing, and a space for hope.” This smaller park is just east of Falls Park via the Swamp Rabbit Trail and has, in my opinion, the best mission of all Greenville Parks. The park “is designed to bring people together to share stories of survivorship - as a patient, a caregiver, a family member or someone suffering the loss of a loved one to cancer.” It is a tranquil place for hope and for healing.
Unity Park - Opened in 2022, the 60-acre Unity Park is the newest park to open in Greenville. It consists of FOUR playgrounds, including a 4,100 square-foot “splash pad”, two green spaces, a 10,000 square-foot welcome center, basketball courts, and a historic baseball field built in 1925! There are 3 bridges spanning the Reedy River in the park along with access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail and five other trails totaling 2.5 miles. This park sits west of Falls Park, near the Southernside and West Greenville neighborhoods. You can rent bikes at the Greenville BCycle station here or head to the retail shopping area featuring two breweries, a food court, a bicycle store, a barbecue restaurant, and more.
McPherson Park - Greenville’s oldest park, McPherson Park, opened in 1884, has undergone a ton of changes during its history. The park was originally called “City Park”, growing to 32 acres in the early 1900s but currently consists of 12.5 acres. It was used as U.S. Army Camp Blythe and included a recruiting office and recruit housing during World War I. It was named after city engineer John Alexander McPherson in 1941 to recognize him for his service in the development of Greenville’s city parks. The park now includes walking paths, playgrounds, picnic tables and shelters, a mini-golf course, tennis courts, and a nameless stream with numerous bridges.
