A fighter jet in a park? State of the Trail: Greenville Green Line Part 1

Half of Cleveland Park is fenced off right now, so I rode the Swamp Rabbit Trail into downtown Greenville to see what the trip actually looks like while it is. This is part one: the Paperclip, the zoo detour (paved, technically), the Reedy River, the fighter jet with a heavier story than the park lets on, and the waterfall that was here before any of it. If you're planning a ride, the detour review at 4:22 is the useful part. If you're here for the jet, 8:27. Everything in this video is as of July 2026, fences move and Greenville builds fast. CHAPTERS 0:00 Half of Cleveland Park is fenced off 0:29 The Paperclip (not the official name) 1:29 Run In and the ride into downtown 2:39 The playground next to the zoo, eventually 2:51 The zoo detour, paved technically 4:22 Detour review: shade, bumps, verdict 4:43 Back in Cleveland Park proper 5:27 A very committed fence 6:14 Meeting the Reedy River 8:27 Why there's a fighter jet in the park 9:41 Cancer Survivors Park 10:04 The Welcome, holding the door since 2021 10:25 Turning Point, the steel tree 10:59 Falls Park and downtown 11:47 So what did we learn THE ROUTE Cleveland Park to Falls Park on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, through the zoo detour, past the Major Rudolph Anderson memorial, through Cancer Survivors Park, ending above the falls at the Reedy River. About 3 miles of downtown Greenville, South Carolina at a talking pace. If you have opinions about the detour, or you know another name for the Paperclip, the comments are right there. #SwampRabbitTrail #GreenvilleSC #FallsPark #CyclingVlog #YeahThatGreenville
