Things To Do
Visit Greenville
How did we become that Greenville, you ask? People came, enjoyed and started to talk about us. They talked about our delicious food and drink, quaint Main Street, bustling art scene, bike-friendly attitude, girlfriend getaways and mancations, picturesque parks, fun-filled festivals and our sweet Southern hospitality. And the more they talked, the more people wanted to come experience it all for themselves. Which brings us to you. As nice as it is to hear other folks say nice things, it’s you we want to impress. So come on—give us a try! You’ll find your own favorite place, tastes and ways to celebrate. Experience what turned America’s 4th fastest-growing city into one of America’s hottest destinations. Yeah, we’re that Greenville!
Falls Park on the Reedy
Visit the “crown jewel” of downtown Greenville and gaze at the Reedy River Falls below from atop the Liberty Bridge, the only single-suspension bridge of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Stroll within the park’s 36 acres of gardens, greenspaces, and historic ruins of mills that once made their home on the Reedy. At certain times of the year, you can catch a free showing of a movie or a performance of one of Shakespeare’s famous plays in this downtown park.
Spill the Beans
Great for ice cream and coffee while you enjoy Falls Park.
Swamp Rabbit trail
Frequently named one of the best urban trails in the country, the Swamp Rabbit Trail extends 22 miles and connects downtown Greenville to the city of Travelers Rest and beyond. With many trail entrances across Greenville you can hop on and off with ease. Favorite stops along the trail include Cleveland Park, Cancer Survivors Park, Falls Park on the Reedy, RiverPlace, Furman University’s Swan Lake, downtown Travelers Rest, and more.
Fluor Field and The Greenville Drive Baseball field
Today, Greenville's history of textile mills and its love of baseball meet at Fluor Field in downtown's West End. This 5,000-seat stadium, built in 2006 from reclaimed textile mill bricks, serves as the pulsing heart of everything both old and new in town. Even though it's recently built, the architecture blends seamlessly with the West End's historical feel. Modeled after Fenway Park, a 30-foot replica of the ""Green Monster"" sits in the outfield along with a hand-operated scoreboard. It is here that the Greenville Drive, the Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, gather to play ball in front of a town that embraces the rich, intertwining histories of textiles mills and baseball.
Mice on Main Scavenger Hunt
Mice on Main are 9 tiny bronze mice hidden along a section of Main Street for kids and kids-at-heart to discover.
