The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Departments's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents or visitors to learn more about. This week we're talking about the Community Park!


The Greenville Community Park is a 20 acre park located at the corner of Hwy 15 and Hwy 76. This fully developed park has a lot to offer! Recreational facilities include 4 softball/baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, skate park, playground, recreational trail access and winter ice rink. Other facilities include storage buildings, concession stand, rental pavilion with kitchen, and public restrooms. Community Park is primarily used by Greenville Youth Sports to run their youth baseball and softball programs but you have also been there for the Greenville Civic Club’s Fright Night.



The Greenville Civic Club has expressed interest in collaborating with both the Town of Greenville, and Greenville Youth Sports, to invest in long-range improvements to the park. The Greenville Town Board directed the formation of an Ad-hoc Committee to oversee the preparation of a long-range capital improvement plan for Community Park.

The Ad-hoc Community Park Committee is hosting a public meeting at Community Park from 5-7pm on Wednesday, July 31 to help gauge the community’s needs and interests as it relates to Community Park. We have also put together a survey for those who cannot make it to the meeting or are interested in formally submitting their input. The results of the meeting and survey will assist the committee when developing the long-range capital improvement plan for Community Park.

Join us for our meeting at Community Park to share your input and dont forget to take our survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CX7T96L
