Best Project, Landscape/Urban Development: Unity Park
Unity Park, Greenville’s newest, is bringing new life and vitality to an underutilized space around the Reedy River with four playgrounds, 4,100-sq-ft splash pad, green spaces, architecturally and aesthetically significant picnic shelters and 10,000-sq-ft welcome center and flexible event space.
The now-tranquil park required extensive site work on the 60-acre job site, including bank stabilization and the creation of a secondary channel for the Reedy River, while 750 new and 200 preserved trees will grow into a canopy over the entire park.
