We Believe: The quality of a city is directly related to the quality of its parks.

We exist to care for and improve Charleston’s 120+ parks. By doing so, we improve more than the city’s beauty. We improve its health, community and economic strength.

We strive: To keep Charleston’s parks one of the great highlights of our city.

Beautiful parks can improve property values, promote community, attract tourists, help the environment and improve public health with free and useful recreational opportunities.
