March 15, 2022 Lean Nau

South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

Tons to do here, mostly for younger children. Plenty of swings including those for special needs children. Clean facilities and even a working water fountain. The area is fenced in which is nice and there is a huge lake that my son enjoyed chasing geese at. The ground is rubber and padded for safer play. I was really impressed and wish I had a playground like this where I live. If your in Myrtle Beach and have little ones, I highly recommend going here.

Runway Park at GMU

The Greenville Downtown Airport's Runway Park at GMU, which is free to use and open to the public during daylight hours, has an educational amphitheater, exercise "Perimeter Taxiway" and walking "Runways", as well as aviation themed playground equipment, a swing set, a Bi-plane "Climber", a picnic hangar, a Cessna 310 static display and restrooms. A 15-foot cross section of a Boeing 737 fuselage is the handicapped accessible park entrance. Throughout the park are educational aviation signs which cover items like: What runway markings mean, about air traffic controllers language, how aircraft achieve flight, parts of aircraft, careers in the aviation industry, General Aviation aircraft uses, gauges on aircraft instrument panels, how weather affects flight, and some aviation history etc... We are now seeking donations to level and pave the park's parking lot.

We were in Greenville for the day, and wanted to let our kids run around for a bit and found this awesome park. This park might be one of the best ideas/execution of a kids playground that I've seen. The park is completely fenced in, so feel free to let the kids run and play to their hearts content, without worrying about them going somewhere they shouldn't. The park has a covered picnic area, that's available for reserving for parties, and they also have a public bathroom, as well as a restaurant attached to the park for anyone who needs an energy boost while here. The park backs right up to the runway, and while we were here, we had to have seen 40+ planes take off and land. Super fun for the kids. The theming around the park with the airport, is done so well, the kids can sit in a playground equipment plane, climb to the top of the control tower, or take off down the run way. It's even great for the older kids and parents as there is a circular track around the entire area great for riding bikes, scooters or just running. If I had to make one suggestion, I might get rid of the mulch for a rubber base around the playground equipment, but outside of that, the entire playground might be one of the most well thought out playgrounds I've ever been to. We spent over 2 hours here, and the kids did not get bored. Wish they had one of these closer to my home in Charlotte!

Reviewed By williamrA3228HQ - Sumter, United States

This small park forms part of a larger municipal park facility. I live within walking distance and visit it often, The little park itself It is always peaceful and clean and is kept in excellent shape by the maintenance crew. There are small ponds and plenty of small wildlife to watch for. Children love going here. It is adjacent to Sumter's world-class tennis facility that is the home to the Palmetto Tennis Center Invitational tournament each year, plus the USTA ITA Southeast Regional Collegiate Championships, and there are also many community sports fields hosting soccer and baseball. A visit to this park can provide you with a lot of excellent entertainment.
