Cleveland Park Neighborhood Guide — Greenville, SC

← Greenville Guidebook

Cleveland Park sits south of downtown Greenville along East Washington Street, anchored by one of the best municipal parks in the city. The park itself covers over 120 acres with trails, sports facilities, a rose garden, dog areas, and direct connection to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The surrounding neighborhood, sometimes called the Overbrook area, is established, quiet, and well-maintained.

It's a neighborhood that works particularly well for families, dog owners, and anyone who wants outdoor access without being in the middle of the downtown bustle.

• Baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball
