The heart of old town has a few options for a fun family day, while giving you lots of variety all in one area!
Old City Park:
I’ve shared all the wins and watchouts about Old City in the Park Guide. It has rubber flooring, is mulch free, and has equipment all ages can enjoy.
The Greenwood Public Library is also located right next to Old City Park. Here you can check out their market play space, explore their spaces and activities, and more! If you need an indoor activity, you can check out if Kid City at the community center is open for play. Build, climb, play pretend, and more in this space.
If you hang out on Market Plaza, you can also stop at City Center park for another place to play or grab a coffee at Coffeehouse Five.
Grab coffee or a bite to eat:
Before or after playing at Old City Park, you can walk over to the Main Street and Madison Avenue area for some family friendly stops like Fresh Pots Coffee or Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza on Market Plaza.
