This is a great spot for the family, a date, or just to hang out with friends. It has totally been revamped. There is tennis, a miniature golf course and a small park for the kiddos. There is a little stream that runs in the back with a few short bridges over it. The parking is good as well. It's off of Main and Stone near Academy St in downtown Greenville. There's also a picnic area.

Historic significance.

HISTORIC LANDMARK! This is a historic park that was established in 1884 and is named for John McPherson the first chairman of the Park and Tree Commission. This park has a couple of bridges that connect to pathways that allow you to walk through the park or access the main road. However, the paths are very worn and the terrain is very uneven. These paths would be fine for a leisurely walk but dangerous for running or power walk. You really have to be careful when climbing the steps that lead to the bridges because they too are unsafe as they are original structures. Within this park, there is a nice playground, a large elevated pavilion, and a small put-put golf course. There is also a recreation center that offers activities for the community. This park is great because of its historic significance, but it is worn and could use a little TLC, particularly to address matters of safety.

Nice little park in a nice quiet neighborhood.

Really underwhelmed, especially given the relative inconvenience, but mini golf is always fun.

I like this park very much. As an athlete I think it's a great place, as a person I think it's a terrific place. It's super nice.

Spending time along the Reedy River in Greenville is such a special experience. There are several…read morebeautiful spots to sit and relax, especially near the Grand Bohemian Lodge Greenville, and the bridge is a wonderful place to stroll while enjoying the soothing sound of the river and waterfall. What makes it even more meaningful is the history behind it. Beginning in the late 1700s, water-powered industries clustered along the Reedy River, including trading posts, grist and corn mills, a sawmill, an ironworks, the Gower, Cox and Markley Coach Factory, a paper-making factory, and an armory. A century later, textile and apparel mills were established along its banks. Unfortunately, the mills discharged waste and excess dyes into the river, and the Reedy began to suffer from the spoils of progress. By the mid-20th century, downtown Greenville's stretch of the river was so severely polluted by upstream textile mills that the once pristine and popular falls became desolate and unsafe. Seeing how beautiful and vibrant the area is today makes you truly appreciate the restoration and revitalization efforts. It's peaceful, scenic, and rich with history -- definitely a must-visit when you're in Greenville. Cheers!
