Greenview Park

Recreation Facilities

Spread across several acres, Greenview Park is home to multiple ball fields where you can enjoy baseball and other field sports. Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the 9-court tennis facility - excellent for both casual players and those looking for a more competitive game.

One of the park's notable features is its outdoor swimming pool complex, which offers great relief during those sweltering South Carolina summer days. The pool area includes water slides and a splash pad that are popular with kids. If you prefer to stay dry, there's a peaceful walking trail winding through the park that's great for a morning jog or an evening stroll.

Family-Friendly Areas

If you've got little ones in tow, the park's playground area offers a safe space for them to burn off some energy. While it's not the largest playground around - featuring just two toddler swings and two regular swings - it's meant for a quick play session between other activities.

Need a spot to relax? The park includes a picnic shelter and a gazebo where you can sit in the shade and watch the kids play. It's an ideal spot for family gatherings or just a casual lunch outdoors. A nice bonus: every Wednesday, a mobile Farmers Market stops by, offering fresh local produce right in the park.

Aquatic Features

The swimming pool complex is particularly popular during summer months. You can find a main pool, a kiddie pool with small slides for the younger crowd, and larger water slides that teens and adults can enjoy. Safety is a priority here - lifeguards are always on duty during pool hours, and the admission fees won't break the bank.

Just a heads up: the pool tends to get busy during peak summer hours, so arriving early is the best bet if you want to claim a good spot. For your convenience, there are showers available in the restrooms.

Indoor Amenities

Step inside the park's facilities and you'll discover a surprising variety of indoor options. There's a game room, several meeting rooms, and even a full-size kitchen. Creative types might enjoy the ceramics room, while the computer room and teen room cater to different age groups and interests.

Fitness buffs will appreciate the fitness room, and the gymnasium - which can seat up to 299 people - hosts various indoor sports and events. The gym has become particularly popular with local seniors, who gather three times weekly for exercise and walking programs.

Community Hub

Greenview Park functions as a community center, combining outdoor recreation with indoor activities for Columbia's residents. The park hosts regular community programs and events where neighbors can connect.

The staff contributes to the welcoming atmosphere of Greenview Park, which is popular with local families and individuals of all ages. Whether you want to cool off in the pool, exercise, or enjoy a peaceful afternoon outdoors, you'll find options here.
