My family and I were in Greenville in the middle of April 2013. While I was at Barley's Taproom &…read morePizzeria (Great Place I will be reviewing as well) I asked the manager if there were any parks that actually had a playground for children. We had been to Falls Park, which was an awesome park, but it has no playground for kids. He directed me to Herdklotz Park. That was on a Saturday afternoon. Once the manager at Barley's gave me directions we headed towards the park. We were driving through an obviously older part of town. It had a lot of closed factories, run down houses etc... We even crossed the proverbial railroad tracks where it seemed to get worse. I was just saying to my wife that the directions had to be wrong, when all of a sudden you come up to this beautiful park. The place is absolutely great and I never would have expected it to exist in the location it does. But that's just it........it does! You can see from the pictures I posted that the park has a lot to offer. It has a decent size playground area for little ones that are under 4ish (no regulations are posted but just going off observation). It has a HUGE playground with slides, a rock climbing wall, tunnels, bridges and something that is similar to a zip line (but the kids feet are only a few feet off the ground so it is no problem if they lose their grip and fall, unless you have allowed your child to be a big wimp). There is a decent amount of shade with benches and large rocks that the parents can sit on to watch their kids play. The park also has two large, flat fields. I would call these all purpose fields because you could play football (although they do not have goal posts), soccer (they do have official soccer goals and field markings on one of the fields), frisbee etc. Heck, one guy even shot some sort of Rocket that had a parachute from the big soccer field. They also have a track going around most of the park which is 1/6 of a mile. So 6 laps is one mile. This is great for walkers, but the track was a bit too narrow so I did not really see any joggers or bikers. Off to the side of the bigger kids playground you will find 2 sand volleyball courts equipped with decent nets and sand. In front of the volleyball courts they also have 4 horseshoes pits. However, if you want to play horseshoes you have to bring your own because all they had was the stakes that you try throwing the horse shoes to. Near the entrance of the park there are 2 pavillions where you can have a picnic or gathering. I saw at least one grilling area but there may be more as I was not really looking for grills. One of the pavillions is located within a fenced area of the tiny tikes playground area and is small. They were having a small birthday party gathering for a toddler. The other pavillion is bigger and probably had about 10 tables or so. There are also at least two more picnic tables that are not under the cover of a pavillion. On the backside of the larger pavillion there are public restrooms. Whether you are local to Greenville or just visiting town, this place will provide a couple of hours of entertainment if you have kids 12 and under. And the fact that there is a nice amount of shady areas is a big plus as well. Especially for a pale white dude like myself who fries like bacon in the sun. I really loved this park and I guarantee you I will return to it the next time I go to Greenville. In fact, we loved it so much that we went back Sunday afternoon as well.

Love this park one of the top 5 I been to in the area . Big playground super safe bars all the way…read morearound the higher structure. A little kid gated area below, clean bathrooms and a huge playground to play on. A must go for the kids. They will have so much fun

Parking is free inside Linky Stone Park and along Reedy View street, however there are few spots. In the weekends you can also park for free at the River Stree Lot (across Hwy 123). Photos slide show: http://shoutaboutcarolina.com/index.php/2008/04/childrens-garden-free-things-to-do-greenville/ Interesting trivia: 1. The Reedy River falls are the reason for the city's location. Greenville was established as a Indian trading post; the water power helped grind the corn into grits and weave cotton into cloth. 2. In the 1900s, Greenville became the "Textile Capital of the World"; 3. The river cane (Reedy river's name source) is the only American native bamboo. Native Americans used the river cane for centuries to make clothes, baskets, utensils and even to build lodges. Once you complete the garden tour continue your outdoor recreation through gorgeous Falls Park. Along the scenic Reedy River walking trail there are restuarants, cafes, and shopping boutiques.

I particularly love that Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit is a primary theme, complete with herbs such as parsley and others that Peter may have enjoyed during his time in Mr. McGregor's garden. There is a lot of bustle with runners, bikers, walkers, and amblers strolling through and enjoying the surroundings. Unique plants and trees have botanical i. d. labels and there are several key areas--musical devices, native plants garden, vegetable gardens, picnic tables and benches (all freshly painted TODAY)and more. Be aware that you'll have to park across the street because there is no on-site parking. A fun area for
