In the heart of downtown Greenville, SC, nationally recognized as one of the best down towns anywhere, this little park is fabulous. A suspension bridge allows you to walk over the water falls and look out over the park and the river. There is always something exciting going on in Greenville. You can rent bikes, picnic, shop at the local art galleries, eat alfresco & listen to concerts across the river (sit under the bridge for the best acoustics). It just doesn't get any better. We go as often as we can.
I had heard a lot about this park! It didn't disappoint - great waterfall and bridge. I imagine that in the spring and summer it is amazing. Such a great addition to a downtown area.
Great park to visit from spring through fall. They have beautiful flower beds in the spring and summer. Many people have their wedding there. It always seems a lot cooler down in the park during the summer. We take all of our visitors down there.
If you are in Greenville for any length of time you must come to this beautiful park and falls. The downtown area where it's located is also beautiful and quaint. Allow a few hours to walk around and explore the park and shops on Main Street. Time well invested!!
When this new walking bridge was first constructed... there was the inevitable discussion concerning "history" vs. "modernization." This, I believe, was one instance when the New overshadowed the historical. A beautiful addition to a beautiful city!
We loved the restaurants surrounding the area. We disliked the fact that we had to leave on Sunday afternoon and return to reality.
Falls Park is a beautiful park right on the Reedy River in downtown Greenville.......anytime of the day is good to go...anytime tendons with the kids and family....nights with a significant other or a girls night out with dancing and great food...it's a perfect place to be on either Fri sat or sun.....
We were here in the winter and it was bitter cold. But we had to take a walk around the park anyway. What a wonderful place! And what's even more amazing is that it's right in the middle of a small city. The views from the bridge are stunning. The bridge itself is an amazing thing to look at. There are lots of little shops, coffee houses and restaurants that are right on the park. The day we were there it began to snow. It was so wonderful seeing everyone, including workers, stepping outside and watching the serene experience. We cant wait to come back in the spring and really enjoy all this park has to offer.
The park is an excellent place to sit and relax!! Walking in the park, sitting by the falls, or watching people the Falls is the place to unwind.
