There have been 11 people in attendance from all over the state for an overview of the Greer PRT department’s current challenges, public safety initiatives, and upcoming projects.
Yesterday, Camp Greer kids got to experience their very own car auction! The “auction” took place at the Needmore Recreational Center and was a fun way for the kids to see some cool cars and go frantic with fake money. The cars included: a Greer Police Department car, the Greenville Triumph car, a City of Greer Parks, Recreation & Tourism car and the Rugrats Reptar mobile (definitely the best option.)
Just a heads up for anyone heading to City Park tomorrow: the swing arbors will be repaired starting tomorrow morning at around 7:30 AM. During the repair, there will be barricades blocking off the entire area. These barricades will begin on each side of the smaller fountain and wrap around the backside of the swing arbor and along the brick wall behind the arbor. You will still be able to access the sidewalk to walk around the fountain and swing arbor (you just won't be able to walk through the middle.) We will keep you updated and let you know when the swing arbor repairs are finished!
We’re officially one week out from Freedom Blast 2024! As promised, here’s more photos from the event. 📸 We’ll have an album with all the photos on our website soon, once our editor finishes them up (he took almost 4,000 photos!)
