Foundry Park Opens in Greenwood

Greenwood Welcomes Its Newest Green Space

Greenwood, S.C. – A new park has just opened its doors to the public, bringing a wave of excitement and fresh recreational opportunities to the community. On Tuesday, the City of Greenwood celebrated the grand opening of Foundry Park with a lively ribbon-cutting ceremony.

What’s Inside Foundry Park?

Located on Foundry Road, this expansive 13-acre park offers a variety of amenities designed to serve families and individuals alike. It features a vibrant playground where children can unleash their energy and creativity. For those looking to host a picnic or gathering, the park includes a pavilion equipped with restrooms. Walking paths meander through the park, offering a scenic route for joggers and walkers. Parking facilities are also readily available, making it easy for everyone to visit.

A Community-Focused Vision

The aim of Foundry Park goes beyond providing a physical space. Mayor Brandon Smith emphasized the park’s purpose in fostering a sense of community. “Our hopes are to see families come together and congregate in a positive way. This park was created to provide recreation to a community here in south Greenwood that has kinda been semi-neglected for a while and that’s through nobody’s fault,” Smith stated during the ceremony.

Funding the Future

The park’s development was made possible through the capital project sales tax, ensuring that this community investment was funded in a sustainable way. This initiative highlights the city’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all its residents.

The community is encouraged to come out and enjoy what Foundry Park has to offer. Whether you’re looking to take a leisurely stroll, have a family outing, or simply bask in nature, this new park is a welcome addition to Greenwood.
