Lions Park is a 57 acre park located at the southern edge of the developed portion of Greenville. It’s commonly known for its large scale community gatherings but this mostly developed, community sized park has a lot to offer the general public too!
The park’s existing facilities include off street parking, a large indoor barn pavilion and three open shelter spaces. Two out of the three shelters include restrooms and a kitchen. These shelters, along with the barn, can be rented in the warmer months. The current recreational amenities include a playground, archery range, vast open play space, nature/walking trails, free little library, Born Learning Trail activities, an amphitheater, and recreational trail system access.
At the beginning of 2018, the Greenville Lions Club began development of the final portion of the park. This work is ongoing but, when complete, will include a pavilion and play space, basketball courts, volleyball courts and tennis courts. The existing skate park at Community Park will also be relocated to this area of Lions Park. There will also be additional parking made available in front of this newly developed portion. This project is being funded and managed entirely by the Greenville Lions Club.
