Runway Park (Greenville, SC)

by Jim MacKenzie

Runway Park in Greenville, SC, is a fun place to play amongst the clouds.



If you, or a young family member, dream of taking to the skies, the park features much aviation-themed equipment, perfect for a budding imagination to soar.



You can enter the park through the fuselage of a Boeing 737, then play beneath a real Cessna plane suspended above the grounds on a pole.



Informational signs are sprinkled throughout the park, filled with interesting facts about planes and aviation.



If you need a break, have your snacks in the picnic area.



The park equipment is also adjacent to an actual working airport. If you stay long enough, you will see planes, from a comfortable proximity, taxi, take off, and land.



For added fun and enjoyment, there is also a mini-golf course and a Cafe (Check listings for times and costs).

Runway Park is free to visit. It is located at 21 Airport Road Ext. Greenville, SC, 29607.
