About Greer City Park
Located right in the heart of downtown Greer is a charming, yet modern, recreation area that boasts all of the best amenities. Visitors can enjoy playing ball in any of the park’s wide open spaces, taking a stroll or bike ride along one of the beautifully landscaped walkways, having a picnic under a pavilion, or bouncing around on the new rubber turf slab surrounding the large playground.
The park has a great mix of interesting characteristics, including a gazebo, an adorable little pond, a large fountain, bench swings, an amphitheater, beautiful rock features, and lovely brick facades.
A large pavilion next to the playground provides plenty of tables and shade for a picnic or birthday party. Also, right next to the playground are drinking fountains and bathroom facilities. I loved that the playground was set back a good stroll away from the parking lot. In the heat of the summer, visitors might find the playground a bit hot since it is right in the direct sun.
Greer City Park Has Three Beautiful Fountains
The top of the park features a circular fountain that is a lot of fun for kids to run around. There is also a fountain right beside the large one that is great for photos. There, you’ll find a few bench swings to relax at under a pergola. Down the hill, closer to the playground, there is a huge pond with a lovely fountain and gazebo you can walk into and see some koi fish below.
A second set of restrooms is located near the fountain and amphitheater.
Lots of Sun & Access to Downtown Greer
On the particular day my youngest son and I set out to review this park, the skies were a beautiful blue streaked with puffy white clouds, the birds were out, and the flowers had burst open all throughout the park – everything was singing of Spring!
My 4-year-old loved the obstacle-course style features on the playground and kicking a bouncy ball through an adjacent open lawn. We enjoyed a picnic lunch next to the playground along with a few of our friends. Next time I’ll probably pack the scooters or a kite. We couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon!
For more parks with sun for the hotter months, see our list of Sunny Playgrounds in Greenville.
If you’re looking for a special treat, the park borders downtown Greer. Frozen custard, coffee shops, and restaurants are just an easy walk away.
