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 a little more about the trail system here in Greenville. 

The Greenville Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department currently maintains approximately 8 miles of paved multi-use recreational trails. The largest sections of paved trail can be found along Highway 76, Parkview Drive and Lily of the Valley Drive, while smaller sections can be found within several subdivisions. Most of this trail system is three season use but some portions are even maintained throughout the winter months for year round use. The department also maintains several gravel, grass and nature trails within our parks. You can find these type of trails at the Lions Park, Pebble Ridge Park, and around several of the stormwater ponds throughout Town.

While walking along the Greenville Trail System, you’ll find several amenities including waste containers, memorial trees and benches, Little Free Libraries, bike racks, and Dogi-Pot waste containers with both the bags and a waste containers. Many of our trails will lead you to, or even though, our parks allowing access to those amenities as well. Current park amenities include open play space, a covered shelter area, picnic tables, recreational courts, and playgrounds.
