Lawton Park — Attraction in Hartsville

I came here to this park as a kid around the ages of 7+ and now I absolutely enjoy anytime that I do get to bring my 5yr old son here to play. I love how it’s a 2for1 … Get you some park time in, & then before leaving you can as well walk down the pier and enjoy the peacefulness of what the calm Lake Robinson water can do for one’s soul. Me and my little boy like to bring any of our old bread or anything like so, and throw it out for the ducks to snack on..(Even though we hardly ever see any of the ducks LoL) …We’ve never checked out any of the ball courts but from afar they seem to be in good decent playing condition and all.. And there’s always multiple people on them doing their thang and playing their sports.

I don’t have much bad to say about this park. But I guess the thing I would have to most definitely comment is that at night time..(Yes me & my boy sometimes maybe 2or3x a year will go get a late night snack like ice cream or something & my child always wants to go sit at the park eating our late night snack and then play for a few minutes and then leave).. But at night time, the Roaches are so bad out there that it’s almost impossible to even enjoy any parts of being at the park. Yes they are literally that bad! Every step you take..A roach. Every Where you appear, a Roach also appears. It’s so bad I won’t be going back with my son anymore, Ever again for our little “Mama/Son late night snackie snack …it’s just not even worth it trying to have fun while nearly walking all over roaches every step that’s taken. But other than this one thing, it’s a great place for parties For the younger kids..and also for parents to bring their children to let loose and run out some of their...

Great park for kids of all ages and parents. Lots of different playground equipment including climbing structures, swings, etc. Also has plenty of seating for parents, grandparents, or anyone who just needs a break. Nice covered area with benches & picnic tables so you can bring snacks/lunch for the kids and have a nice place to eat it. And park has a decent bathroom facility -- huge feature if you have littles!!!! Backdrop is the lake and there's a couple docks to walk out on. Side notethere is a shallow area near the small dock but DO NOT enter the water....🐊🐊* There are also a few decent tennis courts opposite the playground area. Overall, a nice, busy but peaceful park off the main road. My grands really enjoy...

I loved bringing my kids here! It was beautiful and water front! Only two problems, #1- geese will try to eat your food lol #2-(way worse than #1) theres a bum that NEVER leaves! And I dont mind people who are having a rough time but I'm trying to enjoy an outing with my family please leave us alone. I mean this man on his bike and bags sat there for hours just talking, nothing smart or engaging, just talking and talking. Seriously someone needs to have him removed somehow bc if other people cant enjoy their stay why would they come back? I know I wont be bringing my kids back while he is there, no sir. Sonic playplace it will be...
