GF was the lead design firm for the team that prepared the master plan for Awendaw Park in Awendaw, South Carolina. The process included public meetings and workshops. The massive 300-acre site for the park was acquired using Charleston County Greenbelt funds and includes over 6 miles of trails for walking, jogging, and cycling that meander through forest and near preserved wetlands. Within the park, a 50-acre lake provides residents with opportunities for fishing and kayaking. In efforts to invigorate reforestation throughout the park, over one thousand tree seedlings were planted.
Additional space features a dog park, family and group picnic areas, primitive camping, a multi-purpose lawn area with a stage for community events, an interpretive archaeological site, associated restrooms, and parking. The park also provides access to the East Coast Greenway.
