Greenville Embraces New PKL Park Near Unity Park

Greenville, S.C. – In a significant move that promises to enhance the recreational landscape of Greenville, the Design Review Board gave the green light to the eagerly anticipated PKL Park Greenville. The announcement, made during a meeting on Thursday night, has stirred excitement among locals and pickleball enthusiasts alike.

A Vibrant Hub of Recreation

Expanding Unity Park Horizon

The PKL Park Greenville, set to grace Mayberry Street, will sprawl across 3.7 acres, offering a bustling hub of recreational activities. Located strategically opposite Unity Park, this complex is more than just pickleball courts. Boasting a thoughtful design, the park will feature not only the much-loved pickleball courts but also two restaurants, inviting open lawn seating, and three 600-square-foot buildings. This expansive space is envisioned to foster a sense of community and create lasting memories for families and friends.

Preserving Nature’s Bounty

An admirable aspect of this project is its commitment to preserving nature. More than half of the property comprises wetlands, which the developers have pledged to protect and maintain. This eco-conscious approach not only adds to the park’s charm but also underscores Greenville’s dedication to environmental stewardship.

Mark V Recording Studio Revival

One of the most exciting facets of this development is the restoration of the revered Mark V Recording Studio, a local landmark with a rich musical history. The studio, once a sanctuary for gospel music and a recording haven for acclaimed artists like Grammy-award-winner Moses Dillard and Peabo Bryson, holds a special place in the hearts of many. Thanks to the approval from the Historic Review Board, this iconic studio will undergo a meticulous restoration.

Beyond Music: A Space for All

The restoration project, much to the delight of music enthusiasts and the general public, will not be confined to the studio’s four walls. Instead, it will spill over into an outdoor green space, offering a serene retreat for nature lovers and those seeking solace amidst urban hustle. Moreover, the creation of the “Mark V Stage” is poised to transform this area into a vibrant cultural hotspot, hosting diverse performances and events.
