Confirmed from Cleveland Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakeside park with fishing, an amphitheater & a promenade on the water, plus rental facilities.

This park is beautiful and a thoughtfully designed space that offers a perfect blend of recreation, relaxation, and natural beauty. The park has a large duck pond, and impressive magnolia trees that add a touch of Southern charm.
This is a fantastic park in the center of Spartanburg. It was right on the outskirts of downtown and very close to some really great food and restaurant establishments. There are plenty of walking trails and a large playground for children.
Probably the best park for children/adults in the area. My baby doesn’t like the other ones we have explored as much as this one ! They have a big kid and toddler section ( swings Included) so that’s cool. They have 2 vending machines for drinks( not sure if they work) there as well as restrooms.
Wow! What a beautiful hidden gem in Spartanburg! A great place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There is a small pond with water fountains and lots of ducks, geese and turtles. There is a beautiful large gazebo that sits in the middle of the pond, you need to cross the cute bridge to get to it.
