City Attractions

In Simpsonville doesn't matter whether you're a toddler or a senior citizen -  you'll find plenty of opportunities for fun and enrichment.

The city's recreational offerings include a packed calendar of events and plenty of space for fun outdoors at the city's six community parks and four mini parks. The city also boasts the impressive Activity and Senior Center as well as a community center suitable for functions ranging from birthday parties to weddings.

Parks and Recreation Department Director Robbie Davis says Simpsonville residents "do a lot of participating,"and he and his staff aim to give them plenty of chances to do just that.

The city's recreational opportunities have expanded greatly since the opening of the Activity and Senior Center in September 1998. The 35,000-square-foot building sits on approximately 10 acres and houses the Parks and Recreation Department's administrative offices, a double gymnasium, a single gym, a senior citizens' lounge, activity room, kitchen, concession area and fitness equipment.

Some area wide attractions include the Greenville Braves Class AA baseball team, the Peace Center for the Performing Arts, the Bi-Lo Center, and the Andrew Wyeth/Weyth collection of the Greenville Museum of Art. Simpsonville leaders are now actively engaged in making sure that this beneficial mix remains in balance.
