Is winning important? Of course it is: however, values such as fairness, sportsmanship, discipline, and determination are more important in the long run. The Cherokee Recreation District strives to create a fun and safe environment where youth character growth learnt from competition stays around for a lifetime. The mission of the Cherokee Recreation District is to provide and administer comprehensive parks and recreation programs, facilities, and services to the citizens of Cherokee County, South Carolina. We strive to enrich the quality of life for our youth and adults for the present and future generations of Cherokee County.
On October 9th, the Cherokee Recreation District held a Ribbon Cutting Celebration for Midway TRACK Trail. In partnership with Kids In Parks and Live Healthy Cherokee, the Midway Walking Track has officially become a TRACK Trail. With new signage, new pavement, and eight different stations to walk around the loop to - kids and families can run, walk, and exercises like an "animal athlete". It's a great addition to the area for this community hub full of life with the playground, splashpad, and now revamped trail.
