cleveland park
126 acres - East Washington and Cleveland Park Drive
For many residents of Greenville, this is "The City Park." This large and diverse park was created in 1928 after the Cleveland family donated to the city 126 acres of land along the Reedy River near downtown.
The park features tennis and volleyball courts, softball fields, playground areas, a fitness trail, and both small-group and large-group picnic shelters. In addition, Cleveland Park is the site of the Rock Quarry Garden, the Fernwood Nature Trail, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Greenville Zoo.
