I couldnt wait to go and see the decor. We went to check it out when we thought there wouldnt be many people. It was really a good day to be there the weather was nice. It looked so pretty with the decor and the trees with their autumn colors. Thanks to everyone that is responsible.

Nice, quiet, area, very peaceful. Cool to have some green in the downtown. I have changed my opinion on this park as time has went. It has grown on me. Anderson County does a good job at keeping it up and adding things to attract people.

The ice skating was a blast. This was a great way for the kids to take a first try at skating, and the setup was nice and festive. The staff were friendly, and the park really wasnt crowded at all. We had a great time and will definitely be planning a return!

Very peaceful and relaxing place to hang out while in downtown. Plus theres always something going on like Ive skating in the winter and summer block parties with live bands in the summer. Ive even seen impromptu live performances of Broadway musicals in the park at times.

I would have given a 5 but the wall of water changing its colors was not on and a man was sleeping under the stairs. I have spent many evenings here...I usually go later when all else have gone but also early mornings before my daughter got married. I have never had any bad experiences here. Ive used it for soft conversations and milkshakes with my daughter after a late night workout at the gym, I used it for exercise (many stairs/ramp), I also used the rock walls and flower beds for beautiful Senior pics of my daughter.

A great presentation of Shakespeare in the park on a pleasant night. The setting and water features are a beautiful backdrop for the stage. Downtown Anderson is a great place to spend an evening.

Love going downtown to Wren Park. Very well kept, clean grounds & heated restrooms. Plenty of places to sit & play or grass for putting down a blanket for a picnic. They even have potty bags to clean up after the pooches. The lighted waterfall is lovely to watch. Recommended to everyone.

Just a plaza in the middle of the city. Not what I was looking for in a park.

Great that they have music every Thursday for summer and movies in fall, then Christmas is ice skating... Really nice

Review №24

We really do love this feature of downtown Anderson. There isnt much shade, so plan on a hat and sunscreen. There is a grassy area to sit but no benches, so bringing a chair or blanket really helps. Bring a few empty buckets and the kids will play until wore out!

Very nice, clean and easy access. A water fountain or 2 would be nice but there are several restaurants open all day within a short walk.

Friends and I watched a presentation of Shakespeares Hamlet at Wren Park last evening. The play was well done. The park was clean and comfortable. I was especially impressed with the sound. The park has a family atmosphere that put me in the mood to have a good time. Very enjoyable!

We went to look at the Christmas lights. Saw some of our South Carolinians ice skating while listening to music. It was nice to have the evening to enjoy with my husband. Down town Anderson is so pretty this year and the tree is beautiful too.

Picturesque park perfect for graduation or wedding photography. Thursday evening concerts in season. This is not a playground park but a lovely place to relax. Rock walls and color changing water features with a backdrop of old brick buildings make it a favorite Anderson destination. Heres a professional photo taken by Michael Fisher in the park.

Its fine if you can keep the transient people away. Saw many people smoking and making out around the park. Some were throwing gang signs and made me feel uncomfortable. Id rather not risk my kids safety and potentially my own.
