They have a few well kept soccer fields with a concession booth and bathrooms in the middle. There is also a hiking trail which is marked pretty well.

Been here few times and it can get pretty crowded during the late afternoon with people taking their evening stroll, runners, bikers. There is also a kayak renting area. I've seen groups rent out kayaks and leisurely make their way down the river. The park serves many recreational purposes, highly recommend checking it out. They have few rest rooms that are well kept and managed with even a medical emergency supply room incase of any incidents. The grounds are kept very clean too and lots of public parking available. Disclaimer, lots of nats flying around once weather warms up.

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!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my Husky, Mischa. Being a social animal that needs a lot of…read moreroom to play and jump, her giant backyard just wasn't cutting it for her anymore. Since she's only a puppy, we wanted to wait until she stopped running over the smaller dogs and people alike before taking her to a public place where she'd be free to roam and sniff other dogs. The penned in dog area is a great place for a well behaved dog to stretch his/her legs out and chase other dogs. If you've got a smaller pet under 25 lbs. a separate area is available in case the bigger dogs get a little rowdy and while we were there, we saw many pet parents take refuge from the rambunctious packs of Rottweilers, Staffordshire Terriers and Retrievers. There's a little grass but mainly a lot of sand for the dogs to run and roll around in which is ideal for digging but that habit is definitely frowned upon. For pet parents, there's a bench area so you can watch your dog and take a breather and plenty of other dog owners so dog training hints can get swapped and play dates made. The con of such a large open space is when a dog falls in love with another dog and inappropriate humping takes place. I had to take matters into my own hands when trying to get my girl through the first set of gates when a persistent pursuer wouldn't get off her back-literally. The owner was too busy paying attention to the other dogs and had no clue what was going on. So if your dog is not altered, pay close attention otherwise you might be an unintentional grandparent to an unexpected litter. 19/2014

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.
