The
archery range at Lions Park was built in 2014 by the Greenville Civic Club. The
original design included a covered platform 12 feet off the ground and ground
level shooting on each side. The Civic Club is currently working on
improvements that include two structures that will cover the shooting line on
either side of the tower. These structures not only improve the safety of the
range by preventing arrow from being shot upwards but they also provide shade
and protect archers from the elements. These improvements are expect to be
completed by the end of September (weather permitting, of course). We are very
excited about this project and want to extend a huge thank you to the
Greenville Civic Club for making this project happen!
Current
amenities at the archery range include bow hangers, broken arrow bins, arrow
quivers at the line, garbage cans and picnic tables. The range is open year
round from 7:00am until dusk. Target distances range from 10 to 50 yards. It is
open to all ages but children under the age of 14 must be supervised by an
adult.
A full
list of rules can be found posted at the entrance gate.
