Yesterday’s grand opening of Turner Park was a home run! Mayor Danner and Councilman Wryley Bettis helped to open the field for the very first game with opening remarks. Following that, there were quadruple first pitches by one pitcher and catcher from each of the four Greer Softball teams.
The newly renovated ball field will serve as a great place for players and their families going forward. The list of renovations includes: increased parking, new LED lighting, a new playground and more. Be sure to stop by during the next game to see the changes for yourself!

It’s time for another look in the Greerview as we both recap last week and look ahead with what will be going on this week in the City of Greer!
This week, we take a look back at: Officer Julius Thompson recently being sworn in to the Greer Police Department, new outdoor basketball courts coming to Stevens Field, and the recent grand re-opening of the Walmart on East Wade Hampton.
Looking ahead, we have: Greer Relief hosting a ribbon cutting at its new impact center, an update about trash pickup for this Labor Day week, and a ForGreer project update.

The City of Greer hopes you’ve had a great Labor Day so far! As a reminder, the City’s offices, facilities, and services are closed today. Trash collection will also be a day behind this week due to the holiday.
The first week of September in Greer is a quiet one. We don’t have anything planned other than letting you know that we will be closed for Labor Day tomorrow. We hope you’ve had a great Labor Day weekend so far!
We’re excited to finally be able to tell you where new basketball courts will be! You’ll soon be able to shoot some hoops over at Stevens Field. They’ll be built in the grassy area near Line Street—check out the site plan below.
This project will take a little longer than you might think, because we are also making improvements to the stormwater system in that area as we prepare the site for the courts. Once the project goes out to bid, the process will take about two months and then we’ll know more about when the courts will be open.
In the meantime, the basketball courts can still be used at Victor Park for the time being. We also have several other outdoor basketball courts across the city at Greentown Park, BP Edwards Park, Wards Creek Park, and Needmore Park!
Public Services has given the green light and the water main issues in City Park that popped up this past Saturday have been resolved! The bathrooms closest to the amphitheater in the park are now open again. (Also, a subtle reminder of today’s Greer Farmers Market from 4:30 - 7:30 PM. The banner just happened to be at the bathroom we swear.) 😉
