Gahagan Park — Attraction in South Carolina

The Jerry Blackwell Sports Complex at Gahagan Park hits the sweet spot between functionality and friendly atmosphere. The fields are impressively well-maintained—lush, level, and ready for everything from casual weekend games to serious competition.

Not ALL people but enough to not feel welcomed. We will continue to drive all the way downtown to enjoy the...
