HANAHAN, S.C. – A brand new park is coming to Hanahan, and it’ll be the first in nearly two decades. On Friday, June 25, city officials will break ground on a new 53-acre park at 1173 Williams Lane in Hanahan. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place at 10 a.m., and the public is invited to attend.
The park will sit behind Bowen’s Corner Elementary off Williams Lane, adjacent to Henry Brown Boulevard. According to the city, the Berkeley County School District is partnering with the city by funding six tennis courts with lighting as well as paying towards the multi-use synthetic field. The plans include three multi-use grass fields complete with two baseball/softball skins with backstops. Some of the other amenities for the park will include:
- Sand volleyball court
- Basketball court
- Large 100 x 400 lake for fishing
- Fenced in dog park
- 10’ wide asphalt walking trail approx. ½ mile long
- Recreation offices with meeting space and restrooms
- 30’ x 95’ pavilion
- Plenty of parking
Last November, voters said “yes” to a bond referendum that will fund new parks and allow upgrades to existing ones. By enhancing the city’s current parks and adding additional parks, officials said it will not only increase home values, but improve quality of life for residents.
The last park addition at Railroad Avenue took place in 2003. Since then, city officials have said that Hanahan’s population has more than doubled, but no additional parks have been added.
