The Falls Reclaimed

In 2001, after years of public debate, City Council voted unanimously to remove the Camperdown Bridge, clearing the way for the falls to resume their rightful place as the "centerpiece of Greenville." Soon after, the City launched a $13 million initiative to transform the park into a public garden and urban oasis in the heart of downtown. Included in the project was the construction of a one-of-a-kind pedestrian suspension bridge designed by world-renowned architect Miguel Rosales to provide dramatic views of the upper falls and the gardens below. Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge were dedicated on September 10, 2004, and since then have enhanced the quality of life for the Greenville community and sparked the revitalization of the West End.
