Abstract:
In January 1937, 35 acres was obtained by the City for a municipal park on the outskirts of Greenville (now Fifth Street). The property on Greene Mill Run was given by James Brown and wife to the City with the provision that a park be maintained and developed thereon known as “Greene Springs Park.” Several additional acres were donated by J. R. and J. N. Williams and another piece of high ground was bought from Mrs. Nora Heath. The park was developed with WPA funds and the help of the Woman's Club and a garden club.
