The file is an image named "clean_aerial.png" related to the Oakland Park Master Plan & Professional Services project, involving Greenville County Parks, Recreation & Tourism and the Upstate Preservation Trust in Simpsonville, South Carolina. The project focuses on developing a master plan for 52 acres of publicly owned property at 259 Adams Mill Road, previously known as Oakland Plantation and the Hollingsworth YMCA Outdoor Center. The county will solicit public participation, conduct site analysis, and create park design and construction documents for future implementation of the park property.

The land was purchased by the Upstate Preservation Trust in 2023 and transferred to Greenville County, with funding from the SC Conservation Bank and the Greenville County Natural & Historic Land Trust. A Memorandum of Understanding exists between the Upstate Preservation Trust and Greenville County for historic preservation and rehabilitation of a 4-acre parcel containing a homestead and ten outbuildings. The project involves two tax map parcels (TMS# 0548010102801 & 0548010102800) and aims to transform the historical property into a public park while preserving its historical significance.
