Falls Park - Greenville, SC Area Guide

Where natural beauty and local business thrive

Park Trails River Schools Local Restaurants Downtown

The nature-friendly neighborhood of Falls Park is in downtown Greenville’s Historic West End. Falls Park on the Reedy is one of Greenville’s greatest treasures and considered an oasis within the city. Waterfalls, gardens, greenway trails, and public art fill this serene section of downtown Greenville. The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a 22-mile multi-use greenway along the Reedy River, and the Liberty Bridge is a modern footbridge that’s perfect for scenic views of the Reedy River Falls. Just south of the park is South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities. This public residential high school is where the state’s young emerging artists thrive.

If you’re wanting to get a bite to eat at the park or find a place to host a wedding or other event, look no further than Mary’s Restaurant at Falls Cottage. Locally owned and operated since 1995, southern cooking and casually elegant seating is what you’ll find for brunch, lunch, or your special event. Local restaurants thrive here like Spill the Beans, a popular coffeehouse with views of the Reedy River Falls, and Sidewall Pizza Company on Cleveland Street. Find your apartment near Falls Park so you can begin to enjoy downtown Greenville’s natural beauty and local businesses.
