Parks & Recreation For All!
Charleston County Parks has begun a comprehensive planning process to map out the next 10 years. Known as “Parks & Recreation for All!” (PARFA), the plan will build upon our original 2013 “Parks for Tomorrow” plan.
Our goal is to create a blueprint to guide capital improvements, land acquisition, events, programs, and amenities. The result should be a roadmap for our growth and development.
Public Engagement Opportunities
Public engagement with residents, visitors, and nonprofit and public partners plays a vital role in the planning process.
May 17-26: Community-led Sessions
The goal of the community-led sessions is to hear from under-represented communities around Charleston County. These conversations will be facilitated by Community Solutions Consulting, LLC.
May-July: Surveys
A statistically-valid survey will be mailed to 4,000 residences in Charleston County in May. An online version of the survey will be available to all Charleston County residents in June.
July TBA: General Public Workshops
Five general public workshops will be held throughout Charleston County in late June to bring people together for presentations and an open discussion on the planning process, to share ideas and community needs, and to meet and hear from staff and consultants.
Fall 2022: Knowledge Sharing
We'll host a series of meetings to share what we've learned and the next steps involved in finalizing and putting into action the 2023 Parks & Recreation for All plan.
