Collins Park

Sports Galore

At the heart of Collins Park lies a baseball field complex. These well-kept diamonds host a popular baseball program, with everything from league play to casual weekend games.

Beyond baseball, you'll discover several tennis courts that are ready whenever you feel like working on your backhand. Basketball fans haven't been forgotten either - the Edward A. McClain outdoor basketball courts offer a great spot to shoot some hoops.

The park also features ten pickleball courts. These courts are impressively maintained and have fostered quite the community of players. If you're looking to join a game, weekends often feature open play sessions with a friendly crowd always willing to welcome newcomers.

Community Spaces

For families with little ones, there's a playground that, while not massive, is suitable for neighborhood kids. It's a nice spot for children to burn off energy while parents supervise from nearby.

The Gary McJunkin Community Center is the indoor hub of park activity. With its functional kitchen and generous meeting areas, it's become the go-to venue for community gatherings, family celebrations, and various local programs.

Within the park, you'll discover pockets of green space that are well-suited for throwing a frisbee, having a picnic, or simply lounging with a good book. Several picnic tables are scattered around the grounds, making impromptu outdoor meals easy and convenient.

You'll also find clean restrooms across the park - a simple but essential feature that makes longer visits much more comfortable.

Seasonal Highlights

When summer temperatures climb, the seasonal outdoor pool becomes the park's most popular destination. It's a refreshing oasis for families and swimmers looking to escape the South Carolina heat.

The Vibe

There's something calming about Collins Park - it's clean, generally quiet, and clearly well cared for. Evening visitors will appreciate the lighting that keeps facilities usable after sunset. Just a friendly tip: if you're planning to hang out during the warmer months, tossing some bug spray in your bag isn't a bad idea.
