It's pleasant enough, but the modest distance is irritating, particularly in light of the longer greenway trail just north of here on the same creek. It would be much better if the park linked up with the larger trail system, but for some reason it does not, meaning the park is limited in scope.

I love this park! Tucked away in the park is a quarry that has been filled to create a lake…read more Bring your OFF or other insect repellent because the mosquitoes and ticks here love freshly cooked humans. The wildlife is abundant here also - I've seen deer, turtles, and various birds here. I haven't seen a nope rope yet, but I'm sure I just jinxed myself because I hate snakes and saying stuff like that seems to speak it into existence. Since it is a small park, it can be a little busy when the weather is really nice. The trail around the park is perfect to use for 5k training. Drop on in when you need a brief commune with nature!

The facility here is pretty nice too, with basketball courts, bathrooms, water fountains and I believe they evens have some vending machines the last time I was there. Getting to the park is fairly easy too, as there are two entrances to two different parking lots. The park is close by the Columbia County Fairgrounds too. I'd highly recommend making an outing here!

This one doesn't go all the way to the mountains, but you could easily spend a day on it on foot, and biking and boating are options as well. The infrastructure was good, and multiple open bathrooms and water fountains were available. The paths were generally quite wide (as former towpaths) and had plenty of space for bikes and pedestrians to share, with a couple of interesting exceptions. I didn't do any tours, but I expect the history is worth pursuing.

It is a great area to walk the pup, enjoy outdoor dining, find a small business for a unique souvenir, and see the Savannah River!

This is one of Augusta's most rewarding museums, a place that manages to tell a 12,000‑year story…read morewithout ever feeling overwhelming. The Augusta Museum of History is the city's oldest historical institution, founded in 1937 and now the only accredited museum in the Central Savannah River Area, which gives it a level of curatorial depth you can feel as you move from room to room. The museum's signature exhibition, Augusta's Story, begins with the region's earliest Indigenous cultures, including artifacts from the Stallings Island people, and then moves through the Colonial Era, the antebellum period, the Civil War, and the city's twentieth century reinventions. You see everything from slave‑made pottery to a 12‑pounder bronze Napoleon cannon tube and an 1869 steam fire engine tied to the devastating 1916 fire that reshaped parts of the city. It's a rare chance to see Augusta's full arc laid out in a way that feels comprehensive. The museum also excels at capturing the city's cultural identity. The James Brown gallery is a highlight, celebrating the life and global influence of the "Godfather of Soul" with photographs, stage pieces, and biographical context that show how deeply he shaped Augusta's modern identity. Several media options to watch him performing and to hear other leading figures discuss his influence. The golf and Masters Tournament section offers a thoughtful look at how the sport became intertwined with the city's reputation, and the medical history exhibit includes an impressive wall of antique medicine bottles that gives you a sense of how local healthcare evolved over generations. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit is the Transportation Corridor, which brings Augusta's mobility story to life with a 1914 steam locomotive, a 1917 steam trolley, a reconstructed 1930s gas station, and a range of early vehicles. Walking through the restored streetcar and stepping into the rail car for photos adds a tactile, playful element that balances the more traditional exhibits. Upstairs, the museum's radio history exhibit traces the rise of WBBQ, one of Augusta's most influential stations, including a "then and now" section installed for its 60th anniversary. There are also exhibits on local law enforcement and firefighting, as well as a gallery of regional legends that highlights entertainers, athletes, writers, and other notable Augustans. The entire museum is comfortably explored in about two hours, which makes it an easy and rewarding stop whether you're spending a full day downtown or pairing it with the Morris Museum of Art or the Riverwalk. It's the kind of place that leaves you with a clearer sense of Augusta's character, from its earliest settlements to the voices and industries that shaped the city you see today. Don't miss it.

We were in town for the weekend and decided to pay this place a visit. The admission price was…read moreonly a dollar so you really can't go wrong with that price. The first floor has a pretty extensive history of the city and was very interesting. The second floor has about five other sections including golf, James Brown, medical, and locals.

On a really hot day there is no shade and the stones get hot on those poor puppy feet and my pups tend to get overheated. We started using this location when the sun is setting and it's not so hot. It could use an awning or some shade cover but overall this is a good location to let your run dog for exercise.

Coming to Fort Gordon and finding they have a nice decent size dog park was a bonus. For those of…read moreyou with kids, the dog park is located right next to the children's playground. So your kiddos can go play while you let the dogs play. The dog park has two fenced in sides. The first side is for the 35lb and under dogs, the other side is for the 36lb and over dogs. Each side has water stations, about 8 poop bag stations, benches some with umbrellas, fire hydrants that spray water, and activities to keep your dog entertained. The only thing that I don't like about the dog park is the lack of shade for dogs. They have two bench areas on each side that have umbrella covering but it's more for the owners of the pets than anything. Seeing as it gets extremely hot here during the summer months some shade for the pups would be nice. I was warned that when it's extremely hot, the rocks makes your dog's paw pads burst. :(

Highly recommend taking a run/ walk at night if looking for a track.
