 Hello, Columbia. Welcome to our edition of Telling Our Story Exploring the Parks. I am your host, Wanda Austin Herndon. Join us as we explore our parks. Hello, Columbia. Welcome to Telling Our Story Exploring the Parks. I am your host, Wanda Austin Herndon. And today, we're exploring Greenview Park. So come take a walk with us. Greenview Park is a multi-sport complex that offers recreation amenities inside and outside of the park. The park consists of multiple baseball fields, nine court tennis facilities, outdoors swimming pool, walking trails, playground area, and picnic shelters. They are also home to a state-of-the-art water park that opened up in 2016. You have most of the people who come here and use the park. It's not from the community. You know, you have people come from way as far as from Camden, Elgin, Irmo. It's very dynamic. You know, I mean, they have so much to offer. You have nine tennis courts, basketball gym, a fitness room, the game room. You have a walking trail. You have baseball field. The facility here at Greenview Park is one of the best facilities in the state of Columbia. The facility started out with four courts and the city saw a need to develop and put more courts because we have a program for adults and a junior program here. The city of Columbia and parks of recreation want everybody, everybody to have good health. And that's what we stress here in Recreation Department that we want the facility to use. It's not a day or night that these courts are ever empty. My children came here first when they were doing t-ball, baseball, football, cheerleading. And now that I'm retired and I've been retired 10 and a half years, I've been active in Greenview Park. Indoor amenities consist of a game room, a multi-meeting room, and a gymnasium that seats close to 300 people. This park stands up because it caters to all the needs, you know, all the way from five to 90s, you know, as far as kids and adults. We come here to have fun. It's about fun. Like I say, recreation is something you do in your leisure time. And that's what it's about, having fun. It's like they say one city, one Columbia starts in parks. Greenview Park is vital to the Greenview community and the surrounding area. Greenview Park Community Center is open Monday through Thursday, 10am to 9pm, Friday's 10am to 8pm, Saturday's 10am to 6pm, and Sunday's 2pm to 7pm. The park hosts athletic leagues in baseball, basketball, soccer, and also has a swim team. Greenview is known as one of the best tennis areas in the state of South Carolina when it comes to diversity and recognizing to encourage people to play and use the City Park's recreation of tennis facilities here at Greenview. Support your park because not only do you build relationships if you have children or grandchildren, those efforts carry you throughout your home life.
