Description
I've played in this park since the 1960s when my sis, mom and I would picnik under one of the various shelters and eat ham sadwiches and potato salad while sitting on the worn wooden benches with flies hovering over the tables. Though the park still looks the same in many ways (the stone sheters and bridges), there is an updated, safer playground,lovely river scenes, and bike paths. I remember the old playgroud equipment of metal swings and slides and monkey bars, spinner seats and wooden seesaws equipment and still marvel that all us kids survived childhood hanging off all that stuff.

More from the SC.Gov website: "This park is 122 acres.
For many residents of Greenville, this is "The City Park." This large and diverse park was created in 1928 after the Cleveland family donated 122 acres of land along the Reedy River to the city.
The park features tennis and volleyball courts, a softball field, playground areas, a fitness trail equipped with workout stations, 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."
