Another great way to enjoy the outdoors is the Track at Greenville High School, it’s open to the public from dusk till dawn, as long as students are present.
Enter through the Turnstile.
Summer heat and humidity can get bad, so never forget to hydrate and take breaks in the middle of the day. Sunrise and Sunset are great times to enjoy the cooler parts of the day and still get outside and enjoy all the physical and mental benefits of being outside.
