The Falls Park staff makes every effort to ensure your visit is a safe one. Please keep the following
information in mind when planning your visit.
Accessibility:
Visitors using wheelchairs will find access to Falls Park via a series or
paved trails and ramps that continue throughout the park. An elevator also allows quick access
to all levels of the park. Public restrooms are wheelchair
accessible. Wheelchair accessible trails are viewable on the
park map.
Climbing on Rocks, Wading, Swimming is Prohibited:
Rocks located in the Reedy River are slippery due to algae growth and water
on the rocks. A fall on the rocks can lead to serious injury. SCDHEC has determined
that the Reedy River is contaminated with high concentrations of harmful bacteria
that can cause serious infections to humans. For these reasons, wading, swimming,
and climbing on the rocks in Falls Park are prohibited.
Uneven Pavement:
In keeping with the natural landscape surrounding Falls Park several
of the park’s garden steps were constructed using natural stone. These natural stone
steps are uneven and we ask that you use caution when walking up and down them.
Concrete steps and ramped walkways are located throughout Falls Park on the
Reedy for visitors who may feel more comfortable using concrete surfaces.
Public Restroom Hours:
The public restrooms and elevator in Falls Park are open 9:00 a.m.
until 9:00 p.m. April through October and 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. November through
March for your convenience.

A city ordinance prohibits young people under the age of 18 from visiting Greenville's Central
Business District, including Falls Park, after 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights,
unless they are with a parent, legal guardian or custodial adult. The ordinance also applies to
nights before a holiday, such as Labor Day.

For everyone's safety, please keep pets on a leash at all time. Pet owners are expected to clean up messes after their pet; bag stations are found throughout the park.
