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 along with ground level shooting on each side. During the fall of 2019, the Civic Club decided to make further improvements to the range and added two structures that cover the ground level shooting line on either side of the tower. These structures not only improve the safety of the range by preventing arrows from being shot upwards but also provide shade and protect archers from the elements.
Current amenities at the archery range include bow hangers, case rack, broken arrow bins, arrow quivers at the line, garbage cans and picnic tables. Target distances range from 10 to 50 yards. The range is open year round from 7:00am until dusk. 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.
