The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week we want to tell you about the play area at Jennerjohn Park!

The playground at Jennerjohn Park is our biggest, and probably most popular, playground here in Greenville. There are three different play areas located within the playground area of the park. A sand area is located furthest north and is about 1800 square feet in size. It includes two diggers, one for standing and one for sitting, and a metal fire truck for “driving” and climbing. The sand area and fire truck are original, but a community build in 2005 replaced one playground with the two that are currently there. One play area is designed for children ages 2-5 and is approximately 3000 square feet in size. It includes equipment to slide, climb, ride, and swing. The other is designed for ages 5-12 and offers much of the same play opportunities but on a higher skill level. This area is approximately 5000 square feet in size.

Other activities to enjoy while playing at the park include a ball diamond, open play space, tennis courts, and part of the trail system. While the restrooms and fountain are only available during the summer, you will find a sledding hill and ice rink during the colder, snowier, months!
