Restored Greenville YMCA Opens Again

Greenville YMCA

Pud Kearns with Housewarmers of Greenville reflects on the reopening of the Greenville YMCA, which was hit hard by a storm in January, collapsing the exterior wall and roof of the indoor pool.  Now, the facility has reopened, with an outdoor pool for the time being, although Pud says there are plans to add an inflatable enclosure.  Pud says there are plans now in Greenville to create a park along the Longbranch Creek joining the YMCA, the Ja-Lu Park (where the new splash pad is located, and the W. Walworth Harrison Public Library.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
