About Eric Fowler Community Park
What's Here
Found in West Columbia, Eric Fowler Community Park offers a charming outdoor retreat for both locals and visitors. This modest local space offers basic amenities for a pleasant outdoor visit.
You'll find a small playground with the basics to keep the little ones entertained, plus plenty of open space where kids can burn off energy. The park's picnic shelter provides space for family lunches or small gatherings.
Parents will appreciate that the entire park is fenced, creating a secure environment where children can play with a bit more freedom. Book lovers, don't miss the Little Free Library on the grounds - a charming touch that lets you pick up a new read or leave one behind for another visitor to discover.
The Vibe
What makes Eric Fowler stand out is its peaceful atmosphere. This isn't one of those overcrowded destination parks - it's a quiet spot where you can actually hear yourself think. The grounds are well-kept, and the shady areas are absolute lifesavers during those sweltering South Carolina summer days.
Many local residents use the park as a place to gather and connect. It's refreshingly inclusive too - welcoming to visitors of all ages, children playing tag, and four-legged friends out for their daily walks.
When to Visit
The park opens its gates from 8AM to 9PM every day, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its modest but welcoming facilities. Its convenient location makes it easy to drop by whenever you need a dose of fresh air and greenery in your day.
