Welcome to Rock Hill !
Rock Hill is a great city for a family! There are so many opportunities and activities for children here. After high school, Winthrop University and York Technical College allow additional education at an affordable price. When I first visited here in 1963, I was shocked by the number of parks and playgrounds. I had never seen a town so dedicated to its children. Now, almost 45 years later, Cherry Park boasts 5 lighted baseball fields with seating for 500 each, hiking trails, playground area, and picnic sites. The city continues to grow and to provide for the children. I am so very thankful that we raised our family in Rock Hill, SC! Keep scrolling down!
