Major upgrade in progress for Gower Park courts
August 10, 2023
A major renovation underway at Gower Park will add two basketball courts, three tennis courts and 10 pickleball courts.
As part of a grant request for Gower Park renovations, the City received $500,000 from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), via the office of the South Carolina Dept of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. The City was required to provide a 1:1 matching requirement, bringing the total cost of the park’s renovations – which includes a reconstructed 65,000-square-foot parking lot – to $1.4 million. During this process, Gower Park courts will be temporarily closed, through January 2024.
