This past weekend at B.P. Edwards Park, officers handed out more than 130 backpacks filled with supplies to Greer area elementary and middle school students.
Members of the the Greer Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association hosted a Pack-a-Patrol event to collect the supplies that went into the backpacks. The Back-to-School giveaway has been running for several years and has helped hundreds of students.

EDIT 8/4/25 - The work plan to start at City Hall has been rained out. We will keep you posted with any updates.
Repair work on City Hall won’t interrupt customer service next week, but it will periodically impact some parts of the sidewalk, the parking lot, and the main entrance.
On Monday, August 4, contractors will begin work to fix lingering damage from Hurricane Helene. They’ll start on the side of City Hall that faces Line Street. Some parking spaces near the work zone will be closed when needed for safety. A dedicated monitor will pause repair work for customers who need to access to the ADA entrance of City Hall.
On Tuesday, the work will mainly impact the sidewalks around the clock tower and along the back side of City Hall adjacent to City Park.
Repairs should be complete by the end of Wednesday, Aug. 6.


The two ADA-compliant courts are set to serve the recreation needs of our community for years to come, along with much needed parking at the site. Stevens courts are now open to all at 150 Ball Park St. from dawn to dusk.
Be sure to stop by and shoot some hoops!
