So, I kind of thought the playground at Cleveland Park would be open by now.  I guess being winter, there's no real hurry to open it.  But I went over there this past weekend, and it looks very close to being ready.  I think the creek area in particular looks fantastic; it used to look more like a ravine.  Here are some photos:

Work on the Berry Field side of Cleveland Park has apparently begun.  The old concrete bleachers have been demolished.  Some other site work is also happening.  As you'll recall, the plan is to create a multi-use field and walking paths, with a pedestrian connection under Asheville Highway (next to the creek) to the main part of Cleveland Park.  Good to see.  This update should energize that side of the park, which has been essentially abandoned for quite some time.  Photo below from Demtek's FB page.

Speak of the devil, the H-J put out an article about this today. Work should be completed in 6 months. Unfortunately, the path under Asheville Hwy will be a later phase.

Berry Field renovations look pretty close to being done.  The parking lot has been repaved and striped.  The trail loop has been paved and bridges are in.  The restroom building appears to be virtually finished.  Looks nice.  Still think the path under Asheville Hwy is the key to really activating this space, though.  That can't come soon enough.

Spartanburg Parks posted on their Facebook page that construction on the trail under Asheville Hwy connecting Cleveland Park and Berry Field has begun.  They expect to finish it in early 2019.  As I said before, this connection is key to getting people to take advantage of what is a very nicely renovated Berry Field and walking trail.

This weekend, I checked the progress of the Asheville Hwy trail underpass connecting Cleveland Park and Berry Field.  It looks basically finished!  However, it's not scheduled to open until January.  I'm sure there are several more things to do (lighting and railings perhaps), and I did only check the Berry Field side.  Anyway, this looks great.  Hope Berry Field gets more use once this opens.
