    Sometimes, like people, it is the places right in front of us that we often overlook. For me, it…read morewas a city park just two blocks away. Granted I moved right as the first lockdown occurred and society was cautious concerning human interaction, but I should have taken advantage of this resource sooner. I will start by clarifying that the community center attached to the Park has not been open since at least 2020. I was told by one commissioner that it is unable to be reopened until structural repairs are made to the building. This, much to the dismay of my neighborhood, includes the adjoining swimming pool. But hopefully that will all be taken care of soon. Also, the children's area is not particularly where I find myself enjoying time here. Instead, the baseball field, walking track, and basketball court are where I have recently found respite. The baseball field is mostly grass at this point so it serves as a almost completely secure space for my three dogs to run around. I know that's not the original purpose, but for now that is how I use it. The walking track is not quite a quarter mile, but close enough that 5 laps will get you there. I am sure parents/guardians appreciate that it encompasses the playground so they can watch their children play while getting in some exercise. I prefer mornings if I am putting in a few laps, due to the quiet and the lower temperature. The basketball court is technically four, all parallel. This provides an adequate number of hoops for those who want a full game and those who just want to work on their free throw. As for me, it serves as a spot to work on my three pointer (ugly, but effective). I have yet to use the pavilion, which is covered and has two grills with tables and benches, but the next time I plan a larger gathering of friends that will be the spot. Parking is ample and the Parks & Rec Department does a great job keeping the area clean and mowed. Also, it is only three blocks from downtown! So if you are ever in the area, stop by and unwind. That's what it's for.

    Winter weather in Augusta is such a gamble. Will it be cold? Hot? Rainy? Icy? We never know around…read morehere. So when it comes to weddings, the safe bet is having one indoors. Now imagine a historic, located in downtown Augusta, multilevel, and picturesque from top to bottom. Well, imagine no more. This building has been around since 1835, with the focus primarily being medical (hence the name). The nod to Greek architecture is astounding and the team who manage it are helpful in every way. The space is now available for rental and I found myself there for a wedding (in the role of officiant). I wandered around (since I have plenty of free time before ceremonies begin) and found where they store the various tables and chairs. I also saw the separate spaces that can be used for dressing rooms or dining areas. Gorgeous! The tall ceilings and intricate detail demand that you take a selfie. If you have an event of any magnitude coming up, consider having it here. You will not be disappointed.

    This place has a lot of history. Of course it is where it all began for the medical community in…read moreAugusta. It's also rumored to be haunted, but above all it is an awesome event venue. Recently my sister was married here. She also held her reception here. I absolutely love the space. It's on the National Registry of Historic Places, so it has all the charm one would need. There is exposed brick, columns, a winding staircase and plenty other beautiful features. It has a great location on Telfair Street. The gates and the stone pathway as you walk up are great. The parking is tricky. You can park on the street and there is a small lot behind the building, but if you're expecting a large crowd they're sure to complain. However, directly across from the venue is the City's municipal building with plenty of parking. Also, downstairs are bathrooms and a dressing room. We used it to get ready. The venue also has a kitchen for caterers use and service elevators. Overall, great venue. Visit it anytime because it has lots of history too.

    This is a great park, it's very well filled with greenery and flowers. It's behind the police…read morestation, which I think is a huge plus on many levels. There is a nice playground as well as spash area to run around in. There are stairs as well as ramps everywhere to accommodate everyone. There is a ampatherater that they use very often within the community. It's dog-friendly, and there are even swing chairs for the adults that might still have some kid in us. There are nice bathromms and parking is easy. There are always cop cars there dont worry. They do sometimes close the park for events like forth of July, so be aware that it's a park that can be closed. Its down town, but it does not feel that way its feels like you're lost in the great nature.

    Located beside/behind Municipal building in downtown Lexington SC…read more Upon walking up from parking lot you can go straight to the playground/water fountains or walk left toward outdoor amphitheater. Left was where we went for pictures amongst the tall trees on walking trails. There are winding trails that go down/up elevations through wilderness areas. There are public restrooms very clean all things considered, few small ponds, a book rental box, and of course the playground. The play area looks fairly new encompassing a large area with the rubber ground. Reading and seeing older pics here on Yelp there was gravel before in playground so this is massive upgrade. There is an outdoor covered bench spot right beside playground good for children parties. Finally there is the water shooting fountain pipes?? I don't know what these are called but they shoot water randomly that children jump through. It is great place to bring children and offers many picture locations.
