Confirmed from Rock Quarry Garden'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.
Intimate park offering manicured gardens with flowers, a small stream with a waterfall & footbridge.
What runners say about Rock Quarry Garden
“worth a detour to stroll the garden and appreciate it as a beautiful place to chill.”
“The Rock Quarry Garden proved to be an absolute gem, a serene oasis tucked away in the heart of nature's embrace.”
The Rock Quarry Garden proved to be an absolute gem, a serene oasis tucked away in the heart of nature's embrace. As I meandered along its winding paths, I was greeted by the soothing melodies of cascading waterfalls, their gentle symphony creating an ambiance of tranquility.
We had so much fun. It's so cute. Nice little areas for pictures and picnics. Great for walks with and without pets. Pretty big too, not sure we made it all the way through. But it was absolutely beautiful and all the people walking were super friendly.
Awesome garden with waterfalls and a koi pond. Very well maintained with beautiful landscaping. This is another hidden gem in the city of Greenville. Weddings are also booked here often because of the meticulous grounds and scenery. We really enjoyed our walk through this garden.
The entire Reedy/Falls area is a wonderful series of pocket parks with differing themes, The rock quarry is one such connecting park along the trail. Make sure to stop at the Grand Bohemian Lodge as well. Incredible collection of art, geodes jewelry and Native American artifacts.
