Community Corridor at GMU

Our Operations team recently replaced taxiway and runway signs. All the old signs are for sale on our webpage. Pickup only. Buy on the webpage or come by the airport commission office to take a look. Price to sell… all proceeds go back to the community.

the FOD Walk is our next event on August 17th. You can walk on the runway and help us pick up debris....but Warbird Weekend is coming too. Mark your calendars it will be another great time for the community.

Unfortunately, we received a report of a serious accident because a bicycle ran into them. The rider was traveling at a fast speed in the center of the park and could not stop in time. Runway Park is an amazing place to play and watch planes. It is not a large enough park for big bicycles. The posted rules do say play at your own risk. We ask for your help to ensure the safety of children at play in our park. Please report any incidents or rule violations to the airport immediately by using the phone number posted on parks signage. We thank you for your help.

Greenville Downtown Airport by the numbers Did you know the Greenville Downtown Airport is among the busiest aviation hubs in our state? We're breaking down the facts and figures, and the impact, of GMU.

Aviation Week: Growth at Greenville Downtown Airport FOX Carolina's Myra Ruiz has the details.

Runway Park is a wonderful because it is VERY CLOSE to an active runway to watch planes take off and land. This causes us to have to be more strict than other outdoor facilities.

No dogs are allowed! There is an increase of dogs in the park. There are also no balloons, no kites, and no drones allowed in or around the park and airport.

Please pay attention to the posted rules. If you see someone violating these rules, please notify the airport staff by calling the number on the sign: 864-242-4777. Thank you very much. We love seeing all the wonderful posts of you enjoying Runway Park!!

Here is some great news coverage of the Military History Center of the Carolinas - MHCC Museum. This story highlights a unique bond over a love of history. Marcello Biava gave a presentation of how the Allied Forces freed Northern Italy during WWII. The title of this spot is one of the MHCC's tenants- honoring veterans.

Community outreach and education is important to the Greenville Downtown Airport, and as a result, we’ve created a non-profit to further amplify our efforts to create opportunities for partnership. Our long-term goals are not only to add play equipment, but we’d like to build an aviation education and outreach center in our Community Corridor. We want to inspire our next generation to fall in love with aviation.

Remember, the sky is not the limit but the opportunity.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday from our family to yours!

Safe Travels and Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. The park is still open from dawn to dusk.

A long time volunteer and friend of the airport and community passed away recently. There will be a gun salute done with blanks at the museum on Saturday. We just want to make sure that everyone knows and not to be alarmed.
The Military History Center of the Carolinas Museum will conduct memorial ceremony to honor Peter's service to the nation and the museum on November 4 at 11:00am.

We are always looking to for ways to improve the park and safety is always our main concern.

* The upper portion of the amphitheater area is closed due to the blocks being pulled up and destroyed. We are working on paving this area.

* The green space is blocked off while we grade the area to make it even and flat.

Please be patient and keep your children out of these areas. Thank you so much!
