The City of Greer is excited to announce four proposed community projects which will total a $100 million investment over the next four years.

We’re doing a little “pre-spring” cleaning, as we like to call it! You may have noticed the Cannon Centre pond is a little low right now…that’s because our awesome groundskeeping crew is draining and cleaning the pond to prevent buildup, dispose of sunken litter, mitigate bacteria and algae, and perform liner maintenance and inspection!
🚨👉 Please be aware that this evening, our Parks, Rec., & Tourism department will be conducting a scheduled fireworks test. This fireworks testing will be a short duration, as we are testing locations for Freedom Blast 2025. Victor Park will remain the firework launching location for 2024. 🎆
