“I'm really grateful for the Swamp Rabbit Trail. I'm a triathlete so I use the trail for running and biking to prepare for my triathlons. I am extremely grateful for the rebirth of Greenville's downtown. I am truly grateful for Falls Park. It is an awesome place for a picnic or to see a play by locals. I've watched downtown Greenville's progress since 1998. I've seen the creation of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, Falls Park, River Place, the Downtown Ballpark, and consequently West end's growth.” – Jack R.
