The park has ball fields, a recreation
center, an ampitheatre and wooded areas to walk through.
The Greenville Recreation Center was
originally built as a USO center during World War II. It was constructed at a cost of $86,000
by the United Service Organization and the War Department. Many of the servicemen stationed
at nearby Camp Reynolds (which housed U.S. troops preparing to be shipped out and German
prisoners of war) came to the Greenville USO center for entertainment.

The nature trails allow nature lovers to
walk wooded paths along the Shenango River. In spring wild violets and May flowers are
in abundance.

The amphitheatre was built in
Riverside Park in 1934 by the WPA. It was dedicated to Plimpton L. Graul, a native of
Greenville on October 7, 1990.
