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, SC.

With a few upgrade renovations underway, the Cherokee Recreation is looking forward to completing a few improvement projects soon. Currently Love field is getting new sod applied to both sides stretching from the 30 yard lines to the end zones. In addition, Love Field and Babe Ruth Field are receiving installation of upgraded irrigation systems. Both of these projects should be finished in the next few weeks. The fields will be ready for the 2025 Fall Season. Will you? We can't wait to see the youth having fun at our facilities this Fall. Registration for fall sports are going on now. Don't wait till it's too late, sign up today!

A HIKING WE WILL GO...

Cherokee County opened 2.5 miles of natural surface trail, along with a new trailhead and parking area at Lake Whelchel on Pleasant School Road. The Lake Whelchel trail is a component of two regional trail networks: the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail (OVVI) and the Carolina Thread Trail (CTT). Cherokee County Administrator Merv Bishop added, “This trail is more than just a path through the woods — it’s a connection to our community, to our shared history, and to the natural beauty that makes Cherokee County such a special place. Partnerships like this — with the Gaffney Board of Public Works, the Overmountain Victory Trail, the Carolina Thread Trail, and all the volunteers and organizations who pitched in — show what’s possible when we work together for a common cause.”
