Falls Park on the Reedy

While on our geocaching journey of downtown Greenville last Sunday we visited Falls Park and looked for some hidden caches there as well as the ones on Main Street. One of the focal points of the park is the bridge. The $4.5 million Liberty Bridge does more than span the Reedy River, it serves as the focal point of Falls Park on the Reedy, showcasing man’s creativity alongside nature’s beauty. The bridge is 355-feet long, 12-feet wide, has a horizontal curve radius of 214-feet and 90-foot towers weighing 26 tons each. Walking across the bridge is not something I particularly enjoy as you can feel it moving. Scary! It is beautiful though. The park is very nice too. When we visited on Sunday the river current was really strong and the water was muddy since we had some heavy rains during the night. Below are a few photos.
