CAMDEN
RIVERFRONT PARK
The City of Camden was recently the recipient of the 2020 MASC
award for the Wateree Riverfront Park. The 26 acres park features
a half-mile meandering waterway, trails, and riverfront canoe &
kayak launch. The new riverfront eco-tourism attraction is the result
after the closure and remediation of a wastewater lagoon on the
Wateree River opened up conservation and recreation opportunities
for the public. A multi-phase project, the environmental park
currently includes a riverside canoe/kayak launch with separate ADA
compliant launch, observation areas, bridges, and trails which will
ultimately connect to a county-wide trail system linking other area
parks and trails. Other distinguishing features include a meandering
kayak lagoon with waterfall, a 0.9 mile natural surface trail, and
demonstration islands for agricultural and wildlife education.

Complex was in multiple phases. The first phase of the project
was putting down a new playing surface before the next season
began. The second phase was renovating the stadium for $3 million
and then closing out the final phase with new locker rooms and
bathrooms, along with a new concession stand, for roughly $1.5
million. Leitner team also upgraded the handicap accessibility,
revamping the outside appearance of the stadium and working on
