Florence Veterans Park

Reviewed By 869G_j - Bumpass, United States

I was staying at the Staybridge nearby and decided to get some exercise when I stumbled upon this seeming new Veterans Park honoring those who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. I was taken by the Park's design and impressed by its extremely well maintained appearance. This park is something you would expect to find in a much larger resourced city. Many cudos to those who conceived and contributed to this beautiful memorial.

Florence Civic Center

Reviewed By Curt313 - Waynesville, United States

Attended the Florence Civic Center for the Southeast AgriBiz Trade Show. The facility is well designed with multiple entrances easy to access. There is plentiful and easy parking adjacent to building. Interior features include convenient restroom, wide hallways, easy access through corridors and a great size arena. Food service at the facility for the event was tasty and well prepared. Seating in the conference rooms for classes was comfortable and easy to access even with a larger crowd.
