Mays Park

Mays Park is a neighborhood park located in Columbia, South Carolina. The park covers a modest area and serves as a recreational space for local residents. It offers a variety of outdoor amenities for visitors to enjoy.

The park features several sports facilities, including tennis courts and basketball courts, providing opportunities for active recreation. For families with children, there is a playground area where kids can play and socialize. The park also includes a picnic shelter, making it a suitable spot for community gatherings and outdoor meals.

Mays Park is currently undergoing a revitalization project led by the Columbia Parks & Recreation Department. This project aims to create a more inclusive, green, and accessible park space for the community. The plans include expanding walking trails, adding new playground components, and incorporating a splash pad. The project also focuses on preserving many of the existing trees while selectively removing others to create more open green space.

As part of the revitalization efforts, the park will see improvements such as the addition of a rain garden to manage stormwater, landscaping enhancements with native plantings, and the conversion of one tennis court into a multiuse pickleball/tennis court. These changes are designed to blend natural beauty with recreational amenities, enhancing the park's appeal and functionality for local residents.
