Cleveland Park — Attraction in Greenville

DO NOT RENT A SHELTER FROM THIS PARK! I wanted to have a birthday party for my son so I thought, "what better place than Cleveland Park!" I went on the City of Greenville website and rented shelter 29. After making my payment, they sent me the rules stated that there were no refunds!

Another walking trail goes above the tennis courts along the street, all shaded and with benches. Loved the place! Even saw a beaver...

Nice park, pretty busy on nice days. Plenty of space to run and okay etc. It's an unusual shape being long and thin but this is due to it following the river. Nice walk from here into the middle of Greenville. Parking is free so you can take your time. It takes about 30 mins at a decent pace. Cylcing from here on the Swamp Rabbit trail is another option. However as of today I suggest you go towards travellers rest because towards Greenville Tech there is only about a mile of off road path that is until they compete the rest of the Swamp Rabbit all the way to Conestee Nature Reserve. When that's done it'll be...
