Unity Park

Unity Park is a 60-acre public park in Greenville, South Carolina, designed as a symbol of racial reconciliation and community unity, incorporating the sites of two formerly segregated parks from the Jim Crow era and featuring modern amenities focused on play, nature, and accessibility.^[1]^[2]^[3] The park's origins trace back to 1924, when Greenville voters approved a bond for public recreation, but due to segregation laws, the city purchased 15 acres of marshy land in 1924, opening Mayberry Park in 1925 exclusively for Black children, while nearby Meadowbrook Park served white residents; over decades, the area became neglected and served as a garbage dump, highlighting racial inequities.^[4]^[5]^[6] In 2018, the city announced plans for Unity Park to unite these historic sites, addressing a century-old promise of equitable recreation; construction began in 2019 with a total budget of approximately $66 million, including about $60 million in public funds and $5.4 million in private donations, such as a record $1 million from Michelin in June 2019.^[1]^[4]^[7]^[8] The park officially opened on May 19, 2022, after phased developments including three pedestrian bridges over the Reedy River installed between July and October 2021, and features like the Lila Mae Brock Plaza unveiled in April 2022 to honor civil rights figures.^[1]^[9]^[10] Key attractions include four state-of-the-art playgrounds, a 4,100-square-foot Greenville Water Splash Pad operational from May to October, two expansive green spaces, covered picnic shelters, basketball courts, and a restored historic baseball field from the original Mayberry Park built in 1925.^[11]^[2]^[12] The 10,000-square-foot Prisma Health Welcome Center provides restrooms, first aid, and event space, while five looped walking trails totaling 2.5 miles connect to the 28-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail (as of 2025) for biking and pedestrians; seven bike rack stations and Greenlink trolley access enhance usability.^[11]^[12]^[13] In November 2025, the park's final major addition, the 125-foot Thomas and Vivian A. Wong Honor Tower, opened on Veterans Day as a 360-degree observation deck honoring first responders, public health workers, military veterans, and philanthropists, featuring a double-helical staircase, glass elevator, and illuminated gardens at a cost of $11 million.^[14] Open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. with free entry, Unity Park serves as a vital green space in downtown Greenville, fostering inclusivity and healing from its troubled past.^[12]^[15]

History

Site Origins

In 1907, landscape architect Harlan Kelsey was commissioned by the Municipal League to design a system of city parks along the Reedy River in Greenville, envisioning the area now occupied by Unity Park as "Hudson Athletic Fields."^[4] Due to Jim Crow segregation laws, however, the development of public recreation facilities was racially divided. In 1924, Greenville voters approved a $110,000 bond issue for public parks and recreation, but the city allocated only $15,000 (equivalent to approximately $260,000 in 2023 dollars) to purchase 15 acres of marshy, low-lying land along Mayberry Street for a park exclusively serving Black children.^[2]^[4] Mayberry Park opened in 1925 with basic amenities including an athletic field and playground equipment, becoming a vital community hub for Black residents in the Southernside and West Greenville neighborhoods during the 1930s.^[16]^[4] In the late 1930s, the city leased half of the park to a local businessman, who developed it into Meadowbrook Park, a whites-only facility featuring a minor league baseball field for the Greenville Spinners team; this expansion prompted protests from Black community leaders, including Rev. E.B. Holloway, who addressed City Council in 1939 demanding equitable access, but their appeals were ignored.^[2]^[16] By the 1950s, Mayberry Park hosted community events such as roller-skating for Black children, with police blocking streets for safety.^[4] Public parks were desegregated in the 1960s following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but Mayberry Park continued to serve as a gathering place for Black residents amid ongoing inequities. Meadowbrook Park was destroyed by fire in 1972.^[2] Over subsequent decades, the site fell into neglect, serving variously as a garbage dump, landfill, incinerator location, and parking area for garbage trucks, exemplifying the racial and economic disparities in public investment.^[16]^[6]

Modern Development

The site's revitalization began with the 2002 Reedy River Master Plan, developed by Clemson University, which recommended creating a new park in the area alongside a 20-mile greenway trail.^[4] In 2004, Mayor Knox White launched efforts to develop the park, inspired by landscape architect Tom Keith. The opening of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail in 2010, a 23-mile rail-trail passing through the site, increased public awareness and accessibility of the neglected area.^[2] In 2012, landscape architect Jeff Waters was hired to design the 60-acre park on the flood-prone land, incorporating the legacies of both Mayberry and Meadowbrook parks.^[2] Progress accelerated in 2014 with the relocation of city public works facilities from the site.^[2] On May 17, 2018, the city officially announced plans for Unity Park as a symbol of racial reconciliation, fulfilling a century-old promise of equitable recreation by uniting the historic segregated sites; the project was estimated at $40 million initially, later rising to $66 million funded by city hospitality taxes, utility fees, and stormwater funds, supplemented by over $10 million in private donations, including a record $1 million from Michelin North America in June 2019.^[4]^[1]^[7] Groundbreaking occurred in May 2019, with construction proceeding in phases amid challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic; key milestones included the installation of three pedestrian bridges over the Reedy River between July and October 2021.^[1]^[4] Unity Park opened to the public on May 25, 2022, following the unveiling of features like the Lila Mae Brock Plaza in April 2022, honoring local civil rights figures; the development emphasized inclusivity, nature, and play, transforming the site into a central green space for downtown Greenville.^[1]^[9]

Location and Facilities

Geographical Setting

Unity Park is located west of downtown Greenville, South Carolina, along the Reedy River, encompassing the historic sites of the former Mayberry Park and Meadowbrook Park.^[12]^[17] This position places it at the coordinates 34°51′01″N 82°24′46″W.^[18] The park is in proximity to significant landmarks, including Falls Park on the Reedy approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east and the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a 23-mile (37 km) multi-use path that connects directly to the park.^[11]^[2] Situated on terrain at roughly 300 meters (984 feet) above sea level, it provides views of the Reedy River and downtown Greenville skyline and contributes to the city's network of urban green spaces.^[12] Accessibility to Unity Park is facilitated by major roads such as South Hudson Street and public transportation options, including Greenlink trolleys and buses.^[12] It is approximately 13 miles (21 km) from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, reachable in about 20-25 minutes by car under normal traffic conditions.^[19]

Layout and Infrastructure

Unity Park encompasses 60 acres (24 hectares) in Greenville, South Carolina, bisected by the Reedy River and connected by three pedestrian bridges to facilitate a cohesive visitor experience focused on play, nature, and accessibility.^[12]^[2] This layout ensures seamless transitions between attractions while preserving the site's historical elements, such as the restored 1925 baseball field from the original Mayberry Park.^[11] Central to the park's design are key features, including the 10,000-square-foot (930 m²) Prisma Health Welcome Center, which provides restrooms, first aid, and event space, and the Thomas and Vivian A. Wong Honor Tower, a 125-foot (38 m) observation deck opened on November 11, 2025.^[12]^[14] Complementing these are infrastructure elements such as 2.5 miles (4 km) of looped walking trails, seven bike rack stations, 362 complimentary parking spaces accommodating vehicles, and covered picnic shelters to support daily operations.^[12]^[19]^[20] Supporting infrastructure emphasizes visitor safety and convenience, featuring basketball courts, expansive green spaces for relaxation and gatherings, and the Greenville Water Splash Pad operational seasonally. Accessibility is prioritized through wheelchair-friendly paved pathways, ramps at key entry points, and adaptive features in playgrounds, enabling inclusive access for individuals with disabilities.^[12]^[21] The park's beautification integrates restored riverbanks with green spaces and landscaped areas around the Honor Tower featuring illuminated gardens, fostering an environmentally conscious ambiance.^[14]^[2]

Attractions

Unity Park features a range of modern amenities designed for play, recreation, and community gathering, emphasizing accessibility and connection to nature. Key attractions include state-of-the-art playgrounds, sports facilities, walking trails, and recent additions like an observation tower.^[12]^[11]

Playgrounds and Splash Pad

The park includes four distinct play areas catering to children of all ages and abilities. The TD SYNNEX Playground offers equipment for older children, such as climbing structures and slides. The Donovan Playground, also known as the Tot Lot, provides gentler features for toddlers. The Ann Watson Trotter Memorial Garden incorporates sensory elements and natural play. The Betty and Judd Farr Music Garden features interactive musical installations amid greenery. Adjacent is the 4,100-square-foot Greenville Water Splash Pad, operational from May 1 to October 1 (Monday 1 p.m. to sunset, Tuesday–Sunday 9 a.m. to sunset, closed on rainy days), with water features for cooling off during warmer months. These areas promote inclusive play in a two-acre zone.^[22]^[20]^[23]

Sports Facilities and Green Spaces

Recreational sports options include public basketball courts and a restored historic baseball field at the site of the original Mayberry Park, built in 1925 for Black children during segregation. The field supports Little League games and community events. Two expansive green spaces, including Meadowbrook Green (honoring the former white-only park), offer open areas for picnics and relaxation, with covered picnic shelters available for groups. These facilities highlight the park's role in fostering unity on historically divided land.^[12]^[11]^[4]

Welcome Center, Trails, and Bridges

The 10,000-square-foot Prisma Health Welcome Center, open Monday–Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.–5 p.m., provides restrooms, first aid, free Wi-Fi, and event spaces (capacity up to 300 for receptions). It serves as a hub for visitors. Five looped walking trails totaling 2.5 miles connect to the 23-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail for biking and pedestrians, with seven bike rack stations and access via Greenlink trolley (April–September). Three pedestrian bridges over the Reedy River—Auro Bridge, Lila Mae Brock Plaza (unveiled April 2022 to honor civil rights figures), and another—enhance connectivity and offer scenic views. The park is ADA-compliant, pet-friendly, and provides complimentary parking and bus access.^[11]^[12]

Honor Tower

Opened on November 14, 2025, the 125-foot Thomas and Vivian A. Wong Honor Tower is a 10-story observation deck providing 360-degree views of downtown Greenville and the Reedy River. It honors first responders, military veterans, public health workers, and philanthropists with a circular staircase, glass-walled elevator, and base gardens for reflection. Costing $11 million (funded by private donations, taxes, and park savings), the tower symbolizes hope and bridges the site's historical divide.^[14]^[24]

Significance

Cultural Role

Unity Park in Greenville, South Carolina, symbolizes racial reconciliation and community healing by transforming the sites of two formerly segregated parks from the Jim Crow era—Mayberry Park for Black children and Meadowbrook Park for white residents—into a unified public space.^[3]^[29] Developed to address historical inequities in public recreation, the park honors civil rights figures through features like the Lila Mae Brock Plaza and promotes inclusivity with accessible amenities for all ages and abilities.^[4]^[30] The park's design fosters unity and reflection on Greenville's past, including the neglect of Mayberry Park, which became a garbage dump, highlighting systemic racial disparities.^[6] Events and educational elements encourage dialogue on social progress, positioning the park as a milestone in merging historically underfunded Black community spaces with broader urban revitalization efforts.^[31] The November 2025 opening of the Honor Tower further reinforces this role, serving as a 360-degree observation deck dedicated to veterans, first responders, and philanthropists, symbolizing gratitude and shared community values.^[14]^[32]

Tourism Impact

As a key attraction in downtown Greenville, Unity Park contributes to the city's booming tourism industry, which generated a $2.5 billion economic impact in Greenville County in 2024, up 4.2% from the previous year, supporting nearly 17,000 jobs or one in every 25 local positions.^[33]^[34] Visitor spending on accommodations, dining, retail, and experiences produced $201 million in tax revenue, with Unity Park's playgrounds, trails, and splash pad drawing families and enhancing the appeal of nearby sites like Falls Park.^[35] The park's integration with the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Greenlink trolley boosts accessibility for tourists, while tourism taxes have funded related initiatives, such as $1 million for affordable housing near the park in 2024 to support workforce needs amid growth.^[36]^[37] Since opening in 2022, it has become a cornerstone of urban exploration itineraries, promoting sustainable tourism and economic vitality in west Greenville.^[38] Challenges include managing increased foot traffic for sustainability, with ongoing enhancements like the Honor Tower expected to sustain its draw through 2025 and beyond.^[14]
