The bathrooms up by the parking lot were easily accessible, and the ramp down to the playground was easy. My kids had a great time playing here for as long as I let them, and we enjoyed the brief walk over to some picnic tables. They loved playing in the creek, too, and would've stayed longer if we didn't have to get going. Highly recommend.

There's absolutely nothing for children or young people to do here. There's a dozen or so benches scattered around the perimeter of this park. The grass is perfectly groomed and is extremely green for this time of year. This park was named in honor of a very popular and nice person, our previous mayor.

I understand sometimes animals get out but if your a zoo that charges for your business you should invest it into upkeep of containments, clean up, and the ridiculous traffic that stops up this little area making it miserable for those that live near by to have a life around the holidays! It's been suggested for years for this establishment to get traffic control but they don't and they smear the roads with nasty thick mud at the exit that makes a dangerous roadway for those that live near by and let's not talk about the hassle of getting home from work when the do the ridiculous light show they charge an astronomical amount for that is a joke.... The newest things they are trying is glamping (seriously?!?! The amount of stench and flies is ridiculous) and also was told they are holding some kind medieval festival there... good lawd....There is reason all the big cats and animals have passed away and not been replaced do your research. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Pretty impressive array of lights. Really recommend getting there early or packing a cooler with…read moresnacks and being prepared to wait in traffic for an hour before you even get into the park. The lights were beautiful but there was a lot of confusion when driving of where you were actually supposed to go. Also there were long stretches of areas that were dark. We could see structures strung up with lights but they weren't turned on for some reason. Having seen a lot of lights displays I thought this one was decent, but definitely overpriced. I think they should charge per car vs per person and maybe there would be less traffic.

Its address is listed as College Drive. it's actually located at the juncture of E. Rutledge and College Drive. Aesthetically, this is a beautifully maintained park. When I visited today I noticed that parking is allowed on E. Rutledge Street. Because of the very limited amenities one could consider this to be more of a public tribute to a former mayor than a public park. Nevertheless, it's beautifully designed and maintained. Aesthetically, this is a wonderful addition to the local area.

Why would I award five stars to a local park that has no vehicle access, no public amenities,…read morenothing for the kids to do, only a historical plaque, and is totally separate from the nearby Peachoid water tank of which it honors? Because it honors the importance of peaches to this area. People who just pass by this water tank are amazed by it. Back in time, fifty some odd years ago peaches were the king crop in Gaffney, S.C. Textiles were the biggest employers but the peach industry was right behind. Back in the day peaches from this area were known for being gigantic and so tasty and in my opinion the best in the world. Millwood Park (even though not specifically specified) honors Cherokee County, S.C. and the peach farmers themselves and the folks that worked the fields and made this industry and park possible. This park also allows folks who would like to photograph the Peachoid water tank an excellent view to do so. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

It turns out that there's a park here and it's neat. A gate at the front with a pedestrian entrance but locked to prevent vehicles. Past the barrier, no benches or picnic table but there are plaques that point out this is Millwood Park and why. One reads, "In 1975, Board of Public Works Chairman Jack E. Millwood had an idea to build a landmark at the eastern end of South Carolina Highway 11. Around the same time, it was determined that a water tank was needed to increase the water pressure and flow in the Interstate 85 area. Combining both of these considerations, the idea for the Peachoid was born. And because of Mr. Millwood's ingenuity, a plain, functional water tower was turned into a landmark." Stop by and check out this little park. WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THE LANDMARK. [Review 20113 overall - 1093 in South Carolina - 1089 of 2023.]
