Falls Park on the Reedy
Relax, Explore, and Connect with Nature in the Heart of Greenville

If you ask for directions and someone tells you “down at the park,” they probably mean Falls Park on the Reedy. Even though it is by no means our only or our biggest park, it is our downtown park, created in what is generally considered the very spot that Mr. Vardry McBee erected his gristmill (a gristmill being where folks grind grain into flour). So to turn the wheels of progress, Mr. McBee needed running water, and the Reedy River had it.
Overhead, the 345-foot expanse of our remarkable Liberty Bridge connects downtown to the West End as much as it does our past to our present. Spanning the Reedy River, there is literally nothing like this bridge in the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Built to reveal the falls and stand like a sculpture, the concrete reinforced deck has a distinctive curve and is supported by a single suspension cable with supporting cables on the outside.
Greenville's Falls Park on the Reedy has been named a “Top U.S. Park” by TripAdvisor several years in a row, along with the likes of Central Park and Golden Gate Park.
