Reedy River Park


We finally had a moment of free time to enjoy some family time and sight seeing this weekend! And, let me tell you, we found the gem of this city. We went to Reedy River Park where there is a walking trail that travels quite awhile...it goes down along the Reedy River where there are huge trees, huge rocks, waterfalls, beautiful and lush plants and flowers, and places to sit and rest. It is unbelievable! It connects to other parks and eventually to the Greenville Zoo, and also has a rock garden and childrens' garden. Basically you can park your car and walk to shops, restaurants, parks, gardens, the zoo. There are people milling around everwhere walking, running, biking, sitting and reading or having a cup of coffee...my kind of town! I have always been a urban girl who likes to walk instead of drive everywhere and I just love this type of community. Other than being scorching hot, we had a great time exploring. I plan on running with the boys as much as possible at this park instead of in our neighborhood. I can't wait to experience it in the fall! If you come out for a visit, we won't let you leave until you see this beautiful part of Greenville!
