A PARK 100+ YEARS IN THE MAKING

In the early 20th century, the Municipal League of Greenville commissioned nationally known landscape architect Harlan Kelsey to imagine and recommend improvements and projects that would beautify the city.

His recommendations were published in 1907 in a report called, “Beautifying and Improving Greenville, South Carolina,” which identified a series of potential parks along the Reedy River. One would become Cleveland Park less than 20 years later. Another would eventually become Falls Park nearly 100 years later. The report also identified the current Unity Park site for a third park along the Reedy River, calling it "Hudson Athletic Fields."
