Inside Charleston Parks
Insight from the Lead Parks Angels & the voices of the Charleston Parks Conservancy

OK, listen up, ladies, September is International Women’s Friendship Month and we have some great ideas for how you can celebrate (all park- and plant-related, of course).
-
This summer, a dedicated group of Parks Conservancy volunteers are braving the Charleston heat and humidity to keep our parks looking great. This week read about Debbie Austin, who is watering Simonton Park.

We couldn’t be more excited about how the community has pulled together to revitalize Corrine Jones Park. After several months of planning and fundraising, new playground equipment is on its way and a celebration and fundraiser is planned for Sept. 24.
-
Of the more than 120 parks and green spaces in the city of Charleston, we regularly work in 16 of them but are adding more to our list all the time. One of the parks we started sprucing up earlier this year was Simonton Park on Morris Street.

The thing about parks is that they need TLC pretty much year round. Whether it’s pulling weeds, planting, watering or mulching, it seems there’s always a job to be done. So volunteering in Charleston’s parks is a terrific project for a business, neighborhood, club, student or church group or even some friends looking to make a difference in the community.
