Greenville celebrates the opening of Brooks' Playground, the city’s first fully inclusive playground, nestled in Cleveland Park at 206 Woodland Way.

This expansive 10,640-square-foot play area welcomes children from six months to 13 years, with wheelchair-accessible ramps, inclusive equipment, and sensory-friendly spaces designed for every ability.

Brooks' Playground honors Brooks Foster, a local child living with a rare neurological disorder.

Her parents, Paul and Reagin Foster, spearheaded the project, generously donating $800,000 toward its creation.

With additional support from the city and private donors, the total investment reached $3.9 million.

Improvements include new picnic shelters, upgraded restrooms, and enhanced parking, all part of a sweeping renovation vision for Cleveland Park.

The playground embodies Greenville’s dedication to inclusivity and invites families to explore a joyful space where all children can connect.

Why did the Greenville resident bring a ladder to the football game?

Because they heard the quarterback was throwing touchdowns!

Emmanuel Baptist Church, a historic icon in Greenville’s Mills Mill Village, is poised for new life as affordable housing.

Built in 1933, this landmark will be transformed into 31 studio and one-bedroom apartments by The Gallo Company, led by Anna and Anthony Gallo.

The project balances historic preservation with modern housing needs, offering units sized between 420 and 800 square feet and catering to households earning 80% of Greenville’s median income.

Plans include private entrances for ground-floor units, unique loft layouts within the original roof, and added amenities like 32 parking spaces, bike storage, and improved sidewalks.

The main entrance will shift to Guess Street, while the property awaits annexation and landmark designation.

Renovations could start as early as 2026, advancing Greenville’s efforts to provide more affordable housing and preserve its distinctive character.

"Greenville is a small city, but it doesn't feel like it. It's got some big-city amenities and a growing arts scene. Plus, the people here are so friendly."

After a year of dedicated work, the West Bay Boardwalk at Conestee Nature Preserve in Greenville, South Carolina, has officially reopened to visitors.

Originally devastated by Hurricane Helene, severe flooding had left this crucial yellow trail connector dismantled and the community heartbroken.

Support from Fluor Corporation, which raised $900,000 through a charity golf tournament, made an ambitious restoration possible.

The restoration included demolition, soil testing, and a complete redesign of a now 1,000-foot, flood-resistant boardwalk.

This reopening not only restores seamless access to scenic trails but also stands as a symbol of resilience and local unity.

Visitors again can experience the lush beauty of Conestee, while future improvements—like plans for the Woody Walk—promise even more revitalization.

The preserve continues to showcase Greenville’s collaborative spirit and a profound dedication to environmental stewardship.
