The Town of Awendaw proudly announces the grand opening of its newest public park, Town of Awendaw Municipal Park, a vibrant green space designed to bring the community together while promoting outdoor activity, relaxation, and environmental stewardship.

Located at 7804 Doar Road, the park is 292 acres and features a wide range of amenities for visitors of all ages, including walking and biking trails, open fields, and a 60-acre lake. The park also incorporates sustainable design elements, such as native plantings, and is planning eco-friendly infrastructure.

This park represents a major investment in the well-being of our community. It’s a place where families can gather, children can play, and residents can connect with nature right in their neighborhood.

The project was developed with input from the community and the Town of Awendaw Municipal Park Foundation Board, ensuring the space reflects the needs and values of the people it serves. The park is a passive park and was provided by Charleston County Greenbelt funds.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on April 18th, featuring remarks from local officials.

​The Town of Awendaw invites all residents and visitors to come experience The Town of Awendaw Municipal Park and enjoy everything it has to offer!

SCFC to lift burning ban for all counties Friday: Officials urge vigilance while burning outdoors as drought conditions persist

COLUMBIA—The South Carolina Forestry Commission will lift the State Forester's Burning Ban for all counties, effective at 7 a.m., Friday, May 1.

Agency officials believe the combination of rain, elevated relative humidity, improved overnight recovery and a lack of significant wind in the forecast warrant removing all remaining counties from outdoor burning restrictions.

“Many areas of the state have seen rainfall this week, and higher relative humidity and fuel moisture continue to mitigate significant fire potential,” said SCFC Fire Chief Darryl Jones. “Though we expect even more rain across more of the state in the next week, people who choose to burn outdoors should still exercise vigilance as the rain we have received has not changed the state’s drought status.”

An important message from the Awendaw-McClellanville Fire Department

If you see smoke in the area, please do not be alarmed. Smoke conditions may be visible in our community due to ongoing wildfires in parts of South Carolina and Georgia. Changing wind patterns can carry smoke many miles, even when there is no active fire nearby.

Please do not call 911 to report smoke alone. Call 911 immediately if you see visible flames, a fire, or an emergency situation. Keeping emergency lines open for active emergencies helps us respond quickly when every second counts.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and encourage residents to stay aware of local conditions. If you have respiratory concerns, consider limiting outdoor activity when smoke is present. Stay safe, Awendaw and McClellanville.

Charleston County is beginning a second phase of public outreach to gather feedback on the draft potential Transportation Sales Tax program.

Over the next 30+ days, residents can share input through community meetings and an online survey. That feedback will be presented to County Council in April to help refine the draft plan.

Join us this month at one of three public listening sessions in Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, or James Island, or share your thoughts online.
