Enjoy The Great Outdoors
Adventure Park at Trailblazer
The Adventure Park at Trailblazer gives children a playground stop beside one of the town’s main community gathering places.
It was developed through a partnership between the City of Travelers Rest and Greenville County Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Families who need particular accessible equipment should review the available features before visiting.
Poinsett Park
Poinsett Park combines a playground, restrooms, a picnic shelter, open green space and a quarter-mile walking trail.
It works for an outing that includes more than playground time. Bring lunch for a picnic or follow playtime with a walk around the park.
Visit the official Poinsett Park page for facility information. This is the local park near Travelers Rest, not Poinsett State Park in another part of South Carolina.
Get Your Exercise
The Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail runs through downtown Travelers Rest, giving you several ways to include walking or cycling in a visit.
Choose a turnaround point that suits the youngest rider. The route includes road crossings and other trail users, so it helps to identify where everyone will stop and regroup.
The official trail map shows parking, public entrances, restrooms and crossings. Our Swamp Rabbit Trail in Travelers Rest guide has more information about rentals and starting points.
Indoor Activities
Palmetto Proper Play Cafe
Palmetto Proper offers indoor play for children eight and younger, with café seating for the adults accompanying them.
Admission is paid, and private events can affect public play availability. Check Palmetto Proper’s website before making it your destination.
TRee House Café & Studio
TRee House combines food and drinks with a purchase-and-paint experience. It is an option for children who enjoy making something and for families who want an activity alongside a café meal.
Available projects and prices can vary. Ask about the choices that suit your children’s ages.
Travelers Rest Library
The Travelers Rest (Sargent) Branch Library offers books, a children’s computer area and scheduled programs. It gives families a quieter indoor option alongside the play café and art activities.
The branch lists Saturday hours and is closed Sundays. Use the library’s branch page to find hours and upcoming events.
