## About

Spanning 2,100 pristine protected acres just south of the state line in Fort Mill (York County), Anne Springs Close Greenway is a haven for family outdoor adventure. Over Thanksgiving weekend, families burn off holiday feast calories while hiking around Lake Haigler, crossing swinging footbridges over bubbling creeks, visiting historical log cabins, and gathering around outdoor fire pits at the Greenway Gateway for complimentary campfire s'mores and warm spiced cider.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The Greenway Gateway plaza, Rush Pavilion area, and Lake Haigler loop feature crushed granite and wooden boardwalks that accommodate rugged strollers and wagons.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern Greenway Gateway visitor center features heated restrooms with baby-changing tables, a scenic observation deck, and nursing-friendly rocking chairs.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages from infants in carriers to active school-age children who love exploring natural playscapes.
• Sensory Tips: Crisp woodland air, soothing sounds of rustling autumn leaves, and peaceful water views provide a deeply restorative, sensory-friendly escape from busy retail centers.
