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, in honor of Memorial Day, we want to tell you about Memorial Square.

Memorial Square is a small park area located next to our office at the Municipal Service Complex. The site is dedicated to honoring all veterans and Fire/EMS volunteers. Along with beautiful landscaping and ornamental statues, you will find a memorial walkway honoring those who have served, or are currently serving, our country or community. The walkway is filled with personalized bricks that lead to a flower garden featuring a veteran’s memorial. The memorial is surrounded by flowers and backed by the American Flag, State Flag, and POW Flag. Further down the walkway, you will find the September 11 Memorial. This memorial site features two structural beams recovered from the World Trade Center wreckage in New York. The Greenville September 11th Memorial was dedicated on August 25th, 2012.

To all past and present US service men and women, we thank you for your service.

Lions Park Traffic Flow and Parking Change

In an effort to improve safety and better accommodate the demand for parking at Lions Park, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department will be making a change to the traffic pattern through the park. This includes changing the flow of traffic in some parts of the park as well as marking additional parking stalls. The described changes are also shown in the in the below visual aid.

The park’s north entrance will be designated as an entrance only with one way traffic running through the park to the road leading down to the archery range. The south entrance will remain as both an entrance and an exit with two way traffic until the archery range road. The roads leading down to the barn and archery range will both also remain two way traffic.

Angled parking stalls will be painted along the inside loop of the main roadway. This will add an additional 76 designated parking stalls to the park.

This work is set to be completed on Thursday, May 27 with the change in traffic pattern to take effect immediately upon completion. We ask for your cooperation and patience with this change.

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 share Appletree Square with you!

Appletree Square is a 2 acre park located on Appletree Court. It was cleverly named after the road on which it is located, but later, was also planted with a Crabapple Arboretum. There are 9 varieties of crabapple trees within this property and, if you follow the recreational trail through the tunnel to Jennerjohn Park, you will find several more! Each tree has a name plate at its base showing what type of crabapple it is.

Although there isn’t a playground at this park, you’ll still find plenty to enjoy! There is an abundance of green space, recreational trail access, park bench, an informational board with department information and maps, and a Free Little Library that was built and installed by local Girl Scouts.

Brush Pickup

The Public Works Department begins curbside brush pickup on the second Monday of every month, or as weather and operations allow. Residents requesting pickup must do so no later than 12:00pm on the Friday prior to pickup in order to be placed on that month’s brush pick up list. 

Brush pickup is scheduled to begin at 7:00am on Monday morning but is subject to change based on weather conditions and other department operations. Pickup will continue through the week(s) until the pickup list has been completed. 

If the Public Works Department spends more than 20 minutes at a stop, the property owner will be charged at a rate of $200 per hour, with a minimum charge of $150. The purpose in doing this is to be equitable to all Greenville residents. The crew will not stop after 20 minutes but will continue until all of the branches or brush is chipped. 

Residents can add their address to the pickup list here: https://arcg.is/1TDSqG0

Residents can verify their addition to, or follow along with the progress of, the list here: https://bit.ly/3vajmpx

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 our skate park!

The skate park is located at the northwest end of Community Park and is open from 7am until dusk. It was designed in 2013 by local skaters and later built in 2014. When the skate park was built, it was built with the intention that Community Park would be a temporary home and it would eventually move to the Lions Park. Although there is no date currently set for this move, it is still the future plan.

Equipment at the skate park includes a quarter pipe, bank ramp, kinked grind rail, two grind boxes and central ramp with additional grind rail. This facility is not supervised but, we do encourage all skaters to use protective wear while skating at the park.

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 are excited to announce that the water at Heritage Fountain has been turned back on for the summer!

Standing at almost 11 feet tall, the Heritage Fountain has been a focal point at Jennerjohn Park since it was installed in 2004. It’s made of solid granite and features a soaring eagle at the top. The brick plaza surrounding the fountain includes benches, stone walls, memorial bricks and beautiful landscaping. The water within the Heritage Fountain is dyed a bright blue to help make it viewable form both near and far. Though there is no swimming, standing, or throwing money into the fountain, it is still the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature!
