Grab your party hats. Our very own Falls Park celebrates its 20th birthday this year, and we asked you to share some of your favorite memories at this Greenville landmark. You didn’t disappoint.

“We had our first kiss at Falls Park. We went back to the same spot at Falls Park two years later and got engaged there. Now, we take our kids there to show them where our story started.”

Furman Universty Flash Mob in 2011!”

“Eating at Passerelle Bistro overlooking the falls and walking through the gardens. We come down the mountain from Fletcher, NC at least once a month for a romantic walk in the park.”

“My husband completely surprised me by proposing to me on the bridge.”

“I proposed to my wife at the bench swing across from the waterfall on December 19th, 2015.”

We can feel the love, Greenville.
