This is a beautiful park (not to be confused with playground, they dont have one there), BUT this is a great place for families and singles alike. The waterfall is impressive. The bridge has a great view. There are bench swings scattered all over the park and plenty of grass area for picnics or running around. "Shakespeare in the Park" is our favorite event held here. By day, its a great hangout spot for friends and family and by night, its a romantic and quiet place to sit or stroll with a date. There are several coffee and ice cream shops nearby as well as all the amenities of downtown Greenville. We love that this park connects to Cleveland Park by way of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, we like to bike and walk between the two, there are places to picnic in between and it makes for the perfect weekend outing.

Wonderful views. Especially if its your first time. Great architectured independent swinging bring overlooking a small but wide waterfall. Alot of mix of all kinds of people. Alot of travelers. Great food in local shops around it. Horrible parking oh. Limited to say the least. And more pay parking than anything. ♿ access and bathrooms. Could be more security present. A smorgous board of things to eat buy drink and do within walking distance for those who are in ok shape. If you come right after a heavy down pour to the falls themselves. They are a bit more dramatic. More water cascading over them. However. They are numerours warnings posted around them for fall hazzards of climbing on them. And swimming hazzards for ecoli being found present in the water before.

Its a park, one that is very beautiful, but the service? Well, its a park. Theres no service. Unless Google is referring to the groundskeepers? Either way, its beautiful. I have some photos over on my Google+ page that are listed as public. Its a small park, one with a large suspension bridge that overlooks and walks over a large river waterfall. Its pretty cool. If youve never been, Id totally check it out, but its kind of a once youve seen it, you dont need to again kind of thing. Not grand, but definitely worth a one time visit. And its totally free and is located in the perfect location (downtown greenville)

This really is a gem in the middle of Greenville. Even though its smack in the middle of downtown, when youre in the heart of the park you dont notice the traffic or city noise. Its a great place to take a casual walk, have a picnic, or just take pictures! Theres different paths throughout the park so you can take a short walk or stretch it into a longer affair. Plus, it has a really cool walking bridge that is actually used in architectural/engineering classes as an example! Its definitely worth visiting if youre in Greenville for the day, or if youre just looking for something to do when its nice outside.

Great park on the west side of downtown Greenville which has quickly become the center of Greenvilles recent downtown revitalization. There is plenty to do around Falls Park with all kinds of dining and entertainment within walking distance. Falls Park makes a great starting point for the 20+ mile Swamp Rabbit Trail for biking and running enthusiasts. The 345 foot Liberty Bridge foot bridge spanning the park provides an amazing view of the Reedy Rivers waterfall as it winds through the park. Falls Park is a beautiful highlight in the middle of Greenville and is definitely worth a visit while youre in town.

Wunderbar angelegte Parkanlage. Sehr idyllisch wenn nicht allzu viel los ist. Parken in der Nähe an einem sonnigen Sonntagnachmittag kann für Ortunkundige zuweilen schwierig sein (wer nur für einen Kurzbesuch vorbeischaut -> im Parkhaus an der 300 River St ist die erste Stunde gratis).

What a fantastic place, and to be right in the middle of the city. My gripe is that it is NOT handicapped friendly. You need to take a seedy elevator and get out facing a dark place even in the daytime. The restaurant makes use of the space outside of its door. But everything else outshines and makes up for that bad experience, each time I try to enjoy the park. Of course the falls are stunning, but so are the gorgeous flowers during the spring and summer months. Great place for family fun. Used to enjoy the ducks until they closed the road to automobile traffic :(

Amazing Park! I take all of my guests there. Recently, my friends from Chicago visited us and my husbands relatives from Lithuania (Europe) lived with us for a few weeks. All of them loved the Falls Park on the Reedy! I highly recommend it! There are 3 big waterfalls (one has a modern design, another, the biggest one, looks so natural and beautiful, and the third one you can find if you walk toward the Greenville Zoo). The atmosphere is so relaxing there! Even the air is so fresh and tasty! :-) I also like the modern style of the buildings and bridges there!

Such a great park! The Swamp Rabbit biking/running trail runs through it along the Reedy River with views of the falls. Picturesque environment. Many activities also take place here including Shakespeare in the Park and Moonlight Movies. Near several eating and drinking establishments. Check out Falls Bridge here, an architectural beauty. There are a couple of public bathrooms: one behind the Peace Center and one beside Passarelles. This park is one of my favorite spots downtown Greenville.

The park is beautiful. The river runs for a good distance in multiple directions so theres plenty of stuff to visit. Going past the waterfall will also take you straight into downtown Greenville which is also a fun area to grab a quick bite to eat or just look at the architecture. Beware of parking though, there is one free lot near Falls Park but it fills up fast. If your vehicle is too large for the small parallel parking spots throughout downtown, bring 5 bucks for the public parking lot.

Something fun and entertaining is always going on in this park during the summer time. My girlfriend and I love to visit occasionally and listen to people play music instruments while others kick it to dancing with a music box. We also love to walk around and enjoy the scenery of the waterfalls and wildlife. We save our leftovers from dinner to feed the birds. Its very relaxing and we also get to explore the venues nearby. Its definitely a cool and chill hangout spot. I love you Katarina♡♡♡

This is a really lovely green space right off of Main Street (below it, actually), surrounded by office buildings, shops, and restaurants. The paths are wide enough to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists comfortably. Theres grass for a picnic or just to soak up some sun and the sound of the waterfall. This is a great location for families for for a date. See the plaques on the east end of the (very stable) suspension bridge overlooking the falls for some of the history of this park.

What more can be said about THE destination in Downtown Greenville? This park is a great place for a leisurely stroll, a picnic lunch or an evening walk. You can also take a load off your feet on one of several swinging benches and enjoy star gazing or people watching. Its a fantastic setting for wedding and family pictures or just some quick snapshot of the beautiful waterfall on the Reedy River. If you are visiting Greenville, you cant miss visiting Falls Park!
