Charleston Gains 94 Acres for New Park

Charleston County just snagged nearly 94 acres south of Awendaw — complete with a freshwater pond, wooded trails, and a border to the Francis Marion National Forest — to build a new public park, with community input shaping its future. The land, originally envisioned for wellness and recreation by the GBSC Foundation, was purchased for over $7.5 million, with $4 million from the Greenbelt Program. Plans include trails, picnic areas, sports facilities, and even a potential pool. Public meetings are coming soon — your voice matters in designing this green gem.
