In 1935, this land was undeveloped acreage surrounding Greenville's outdated reservoirs. By 1937, it had been converted into a state park. Because boating and swimming in Lake Placid were the main attractions, a bathhouse was built overlooking the water.

Starting in 1999, Paris Mountain State Park Friends began raising over $100,000 to renovate the old bathhouse into a modern Park Center. Local businesses, notably BMW, also made generous contributions.

Ready to welcome you with family-friendly exhibits, the building's rehabilitation maintains its historic character, especially its stacked-stone walls and geometric interior beams. Exterior enhancements include this stone pathway, reminiscent of structures built decades ago.
