One of the main recreational attractions to the City of Greene is the Shell Rock River. The river includes an almost 7 mile stretch of unimpeded water, one of the longest stretches in the state. The river provides wonderful opportunities for fishing, boating, canoeing, skiing and pontooning along with other water activities. The river even offers opportunities in the winter for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling!
The approximately 5 acre park in downtown Greene lies along the Shell Rock River. The park offers a brand new shelter built in 2012 and donated to the City by the Jaycee’s. A second shelter house along with a small gazebo are also available to use. The park also offers playground equipment, a tennis court, a basketball court, 2 sand volleyball courts, modern bathroom facilities, boat dock/ramp as well as a memorial walking path around the park.
