Antlers Park

2023-2024

Antlers Park is a destination park located on the shores of Lake Marion, boasting a popular swimming beach, picnic shelters, recreational trails and more! The park is heavily utilized and was starting to show its age.

Some of the improvements include:

  • A main pavilion with meeting room, kitchenette and restrooms
  • A central plaza constructed on the location of the historic dance pavilion once located at the park
  • Expanded parking lot areas to accommodate the peak season traffic the park experiences
  • Food and beverage service provided by LBC on the Lake
  • Updated modern restrooms for improved park user experience
  • A community gas fire pit
  • Additional picnic shelters and shade structures
  • Recreation amenities such as sand volleyball courts, lawn area for outdoor games, children’s playground and hammock area
  • Lake Marion Regional Greenway Trailhead, providing walking and biking access to the City’s extensive trail system

The estimated cost of the proposed improvements totals $11.7 million. Construction began in 2023.
