Falls Park on the Reedy

A gorgeous urban park in downtown Greenville with a 60-foot waterfall on the Reedy River. The iconic Liberty Bridge and manicured gardens make it one of the city's best spots.

Falls Park on the Reedy, one of Greenville's most beautiful public spaces, carries ghost stories connected to the area's industrial past. Before the park existed, the site was home to textile mills where workers toiled in dangerous conditions. The spirits of those workers, including children who labored in the factories, are said to linger near the falls. Visitors have seen figures in period work clothes near the water's edge, particularly at dusk. The sounds of machinery have been heard near the falls, echoing the mills that once harnessed the water's power. Some visitors feel the temperature drop noticeably on the Liberty Bridge, even on warm summer evenings. The falls have been the site of tragic drownings over the years, and some believe those victims' spirits remain. Ghost tours in Greenville often include the park, and paranormal investigators have captured images and EVPs near the falls.
