Gary L. Pittman Memorial Park — Attraction in South Carolina

Update 6 years later, still dangerous, loose dogs will attack your dog as you walk them on a leash. There is a leash restriction in this park and a county wide leash law.

It could use some TLC from Greenville Parks & Rec though. Path is very unlevel and broken up, no nets on rusty soccer goals, no dog waste stations/not enough trash cans, no benches, older playground equipment, unattractive restrooms. Lots of potential here - well utilized park could use some...
