Artwork

There are many different forms of art work located along the Greenway. The bathrooms at the north end of Riverfront Park, West Columbia Riverwalk, and Cayce Riverwalk all have bathroom tiles that have been decorated by local children at public schools located near that portion of Greenway. The tiles at the northern portion of Riverfront Park were painted by Logan Elementary in 2004. The tiles at the West Columbia and Cayce bathrooms were painted by Saluda River Academy for the Arts. Thank you to Jane Schwantes and the Mad Platter for assistance.

There are also steel silhouettes located of three Civil War-era riders at the corner of Alexander Road and Meeting Street. A steel silhouette of a Revolutionary War-era dragoon is located at the southern portion of the Cayce Riverwalk at Lyles Street.

A painted mural is located underneath the Knox Abbott Drive Bridge on the Cayce Riverwalk portion of the Three Rivers Greenway. The mural represents the steamboat the Ruth II (see image to the right). The mural was painted by local artist Ralph Waldrop & sponsored by the Leadership Columbia Class of 2004.
