For anyone fascinated with airplanes, there’s a hidden gem tucked into the perimeter of the Greenville Downtown Airport that is a must-visit if you have small kids in your brood. Kids (and kids at heart) will enjoy Runway Park equally as much as the park’s proximity to regular small planes taking off and landing only steps away from this hidden little gem.

Runway Park sports all the ingredients of a fun morning, afternoon — or even all day — of playing, picnicking, and enjoying the occasional small and even slightly larger plane that arrives or departs from GMU.

The park itself has its own little runway, perfect for sparking your own take-off and landing inspirations and scenarios with the kiddos.

And watching the planes come and go is certainly a fun way to pass the time.
