Chase Central Promenade is the home to AT&T plaza and the famous Cloud Gate by British artist Anish Kapoor. This 110-ton elliptical structure is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates and is Kapoor’s first public outdoor work installed in the United States. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.

Falls Park on the Reedy provides an oasis in the heart of downtown Greenville in the historic West End. The park features a one-of-a-kind curved suspension footbridge and scenic overlooks, outdoor amphitheaters, world-class works of public art, nature trails, picnic areas, excavated mill ruins, several distinct garden areas, and of course the beautiful Reedy River with its impressive series of falls. The park has a self-guided walking tour with historic markers.
I think many people who have moved to the area in recent years would tell you that a walk through this park helped them decide to move here. I know it did for me. This panorama was taken from just above the main falls. |

The tropical lily pool at Garfield Park Conservatory is home to many unique aquatic plants. One of the most stunning of these is the Giant Water Platter or Victoria Water Lily (Victoria ‘Longwood Hybrid’), who’s leaves can grow to four feet in diameter. The delicate leaves on top belie a fierce underside made of thorns and ribs that give the leaves its structure. This structure, which served as the architectural inspiration for the Crystal Palace, can support the weight of a child.
