Parks Division
This Division is responsible for the City's many beautiful parks. Parks staff maintain all City parks, as well as provide planting services and horticulture services for public spaces.
The City's most prominent park is the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. This park is located in downtown Beaufort along the waters of the Beaufort River. The multi-acre park provides a breathtaking view of the Beaufort River, the Woods Memorial Bridge, the western tip of Lady's Island, the eastern side of Port Royal Island and the northern tip of Parris Island. Shade trees swaying in the sea breeze provide a relaxing atmosphere. Other amenities include a variety of flowers, shrubs and plants, a stage for performances, a pavilion for displays, and a grassed amphitheater for picnicking, frisbee or simple relaxing. Once of the most popular features are the riverside swings, providing a simple opportunity to enjoy gentle sea breezes as a variety of water activities (fishing, boating, etc.) contribute to the relaxing atmosphere. Scattered throughout the city are several smaller parks for public enjoyment. Entrance Park greets visitors to the city, Stephen Elliott Park (pedestrian access only) gives a glimpse of the city across the marshes of Battery Creek. Cannon Park with the historic homes of East Bay Street as a back drop overlooks the Beaufort River toward Lady's Island. Logan Park over looks the western Beaufort River, and Wilson Park, located off of Ribaut Road is an excellent vantage point for breathtaking sunrises and the activities of the intracoastal waterway. The parks are always open.
