This week's GreerView includes info on an opening, a closure, and an outdoor concert to celebrate the city's sesquicentennial.
Park Fully Open
The improvement project at Century Park is now complete, which means some popular attractions at Benson Automotive Kids Planet are open for business -- or play in this case!
Parts of the lower section of Century Park have been closed while the team worked on drainage improvements to help direct the flow of water around the hillside slide area during heavy rain. Crews installed new stairs, railings, sidewalks, and strategic landscaping to help prevent erosion and wash out.
The hillside slides, climbing wall, and 100-foot zipline are now fully open at Kids Planet.

Parking Garage Elevator Closed
The elevator inside the Jason Street public parking garage is temporarily closed. A contractor is working to determine the cause of the problem and get the elevator back up and running. In the meantime, check out Discover Greer to find other free downtown parking locations and learn more about the city's free shuttle service if you prefer to park and ride.
Greer150 Mural Milestone
Artist Adam Schrimmer from Blank Canvas Mural Company has signed his company's name to the Greer150 public art piece on the side of the old Davenport building at Trade and Randall Streets downtown. It's not the final step of the project, but it's a big milestone.
Watch our Greer150: Behind the Brush video to learn more about the sesquicentennial mural project.

New Discover Greer Visitor Guide
The new Discover Greer Visitor Guide is out now, but it's not just for out-of-towners! Greer natives can pick up a free copy at Greer City Hall and use it to explore parts of the city they didn't know existed.
National Night Out
Greer Police are gearing up for the annual National Night Out event. One of this year's new activities in Greer is a crime prevention art contest for kids. Children 12 years old and younger are eligible to enter to win prizes. Artwork must be a representation of crime prevention, safety, or partnerships between first responders and the community and must be turned in at the Greer Police Department at 102 S.
