At Parks Buick GMC Greenville, we’re proud to serve the lovely community of Greenville, South Carolina. We couldn’t ask for a better city or a more beautiful place to call home. Here’s some fun information we’d like to share about Greenville.
Overview of Area
Greenville was founded in 1831 and sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At the time of its founding and in the city’s early days, Greenville functioned as a Southern mill town. Today, Greenville is utterly charming and full of life. Due to its dynamic combination of a thriving metropolitan area and beautiful wilderness all around, Greenville is the perfect place for young and old alike, providing something for everyone.

Greenville provides a wealth of things to do for residents and visitors alike. Here are some activities and places that we recommend.
Falls Park on the Reedy: Located in downtown Greenville, Falls Park on the Reedy offers breathtaking views, lots of trails to traverse, and plenty of sculptures to marvel at. The park also offers views of 40-foot-tall waterfalls, giving you the perfect opportunity to spend an afternoon outdoors without having to leave the city.
