Wescott Park
Local parks come in many sizes and flavors, and are designed
for the different interests of all the local residents. Wescott Park on Dorchester Road in North
Charleston was designed primarily as a baseball/softball park. The three main fields are smaller versions of
famous ballparks. The Atlanta Braves
field has a backdrop of the Atlanta skyline, the Boston field includes a miniature
“Green Monster” wall in left field, and the third field is based on San Francisco
Giants Park.
The park
was also designed to aid in training of young ball players and includes a
Ripkin Training Facility. The Ripkin
training circle was designed for drills and improving of fundamental skills. Training areas also include batting cages and
pitching mounds.
Nature Walk Views
The park
also has a small playground with a baseball mitt slide and a tire swing, giving
the other children something to do during games or practice. The park includes one small path through
wetlands. It is not a long walk but it
is at least a pretty and peaceful area.
One popular
attraction is the dog park, a fenced in grassy spot where dogs can run off
leash and interact with each other. Dog
owners also have a chance to visit and relax under the shade.
Even though
the Wescott Park is small and focused mainly on baseball it is a pretty park
and fairly popular for those that live in North Charleston.
