PARTNERING with the GREENVILLE COUNTY RECREATION DISTRICT
Decades of work in partnership between Western Carolina Regional Sewer Authority and the Greenville County Recreation District (GCRD) resulted in the development of the following community facilities that are enjoyed year-round by area residents and visitors:
 |
COREY BURNS PARK This 28-acre site on Western Carolina property, adjacent to the Taylors Treatment Plant, is an ongoing development project that will open in the spring of 2008. The park offers a 5-field tournament venue for baseball, concessions and restroom facilities. |
 |
PELHAM MILL PARK This historic site is home to one of Greenville’s earliest textile mills. The original dam, constructed in the 19th century, is a focal point and draws visitors to a scenic view of the Enoree River shoals. The project will restore a historic post office, which was moved to the site when Hwy. 14 was widened. The proposed park, that includes contiguous property owned by Western Carolina, will be a great destination for picnics and passive recreation. Long-range plans call for walking trails and a dog park. |
 |
LAKE CONESTEE NATURE PARK Western Carolina’s recently-crafted partnership with the GCRD significantly expands the trail system to the existing 300-acre Lake Conestee Nature Park. The park is operated by the GCRD. |
 |
BRUSHY CREEK ATHLETIC COMPLEX This state-of-the-art three-field athletic complex is home to thousands of upstate soccer enthusiasts during the spring and fall seasons. Western Carolina conveyed the land to the GCRD in the late 1980s. |
 | PAVILION The 16-acre site on Western Carolina property was offered to the GCRD in the late 1980s. This multi-purpose indoor recreation complex was recently expanded by eight acres. The facility offers the Upstate’s only ice skating rink, tennis courts, soccer fields, a historic miniature children’s train, and various programs ranging from summer day camps to special seasonal events. |
