There are no public events or games here today but the park is ready for you if you need to get some sunshine. Eight large soccer fields, all of them lighted. A structure with concessions and restrooms and a meeting room. Large playground to keep the other little ones occupied. My favorite part? The 1.1 mile loop around the outer edge of the park. Lots of parking and this place is ready for big events once this nonsense clears up and we can all get back to normal. [Review 13003 overall, 320 of 2020.]

Disc Golf Course: One of the best disc golf courses you'll ever play on. Winthrop hosts the national championships on this course annually. As you enter Winthrop Park a little further, you'll pass Winthrop Coliseum (the home of many a graduation and basketball game). On your left, you'll see the softball complex that is home to the Lady Eagles softball program. On the right you'll see a ton of open space that leads to Winthrop Lake, which is part of the Piedmont Wetlands Project. The area offers research opportunities for students and a view of the disappearing Piedmont wetlands. The small island in the middle was created as a nesting ground for area birds. There are picnic tables scattered around the grounds and the park is host to the Come See Me festival's tailgate every April. A fun time to spend with the community and listen to some local music. Soccer fields, a beach volleyball court and bicycle trails are also available for public use. Nestled in the back of the park, is Winthrop's 9-hole golf course. It's a bit ragtag, and it's for students and alumni, but it's a place to whack some balls. Adjacent to the golf course is Winthrop's track complex. It's clean and well kept. One of my favorite pieces of Winthrop Park, is their ropes course. A great place to work on team building and leadership, the ropes courses are offered for students and the public alike. Winthrop Park is a great piece of Rock Hill and Winthrop University! To do: Bring the Bocce set out here and have at it To don't: Forget to use the restroom before you get here

In this new age of "social distancing," this sort of place is open and available for you to visit and get some sun with fresh air. The park has a disc-golf course, two lighted tennis courts, a horseshoe pit, and water fountains. The multi-purpose field is large and there is even a special playground with a tot lot and swing sets. The picnic shelter has room for several tables but does not have a grill. I was a particular fan of the 1/3 mile nature trail. [Review 13033 overall, 350 of 2020.]

The walking track was my favorite feature today though after my hike earlier, I didn't spend too much time here. There is ample parking with entrances from Deal Street and Cleveland Avenue where the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry is located. It seems to share space with the Kings Mountain Family YMCA as well. I'd love to know more, but the Kings Mountain parks department page is rather sparse. [Review 13728 overall, 1048 of 2020, number 2505 in North Carolina.]

I've been to this park many times over the recent years but this evening was special because my Grand was performing in the town Christmas show Choir after the Tree Lighting. The Town did such a great job adding the 2,400 square foot Amphitheater, it's a great design and a needed addition to the growing Town of Fort Mill. It's a town tradition along with the parade. They close down main street making it walkable for all the local business'. We're living in the 'post-COVID' world and it feels so good to see all the residents and hundreds of families out celebrating the season and just being together. There was so much laughter, so many smiles and it was clear to me we as a community, a town and a nation are feeling happier and more optimistic.

I lucked up on a parking space right off the green but this place definitely needs more dedicated parking. The amphitheater is nicely located at one end of the green and away from the playground. This allowed ppl to setup their chairs and tents by the stage and families to be closer to the park area so their kids could play. The addition of bathrooms is super nice and the accommodations are great. This event included food trucks and a beer tent. You had to purchase tickets to buy beer but the ticket tent was right next to the beer tent. Can't wait for the next concert and to hopefully entice the family to come out too.

For a change, the restrooms were open and accessible (September 2020). The splashpad looked like fun and was in use by a family today. I lucked out and managed to get a picture without overly concerning the attending parents. Again, several matches underway (September 2020) and very little social distancing going on by the spectators. There is a large parking lot and even with the current activities, there were plenty of open spaces. [Review 13873 overall, 1195 of 2020, number 633 in South Carolina.]

At 100 acres, it is large and it is definitely diverse. There are three lighted softball fields and one little league field. They have four covered shelters (two large, two smaller), there are a bunch of equestrian facilities (don't ask me how any of that works) with a show ring and 124 horse stalls. Playground, restrooms, amphitheater, three stocked lacks, a walking track, jogging trails and six lighted tennis courts. There was some sort of baseball competition going on when I stopped by today. One of the fields was in use by a girls softball team and there was a pretty big crowd. To access that area, there was a $5 parking charge but the rest of the park is free. Neat space!
