Columbia County Enhances Racquet Center and Wildwood Park Amenities for Residents

Columbia County's Parks and Recreation Department is ramping up its offerings, with exciting updates on the Wildwood Park and the newly renovated Racquet Center. During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the ongoing improvements and amenities available to residents and visitors alike.

Wildwood Park, one of the county's largest recreational areas, is buzzing with activity this summer. The park features a campground, a lake, and a disc golf course, although the latter is currently undergoing repairs due to hurricane damage. Visitors can still enjoy camping, beach access, and boat ramps. The park also boasts a partnership with the International Disc Golf Association and offers glamping options, enhancing the outdoor experience for all.

Meanwhile, the Racquet Center has seen significant upgrades since its acquisition about a year ago. The facility now includes clay tennis courts, which are maintained to high standards, and a brand-new pickleball complex featuring ten state-of-the-art courts. Memberships are available for both residents and non-residents, with Columbia County residents enjoying free access to the pickleball courts.

The park maintenance team plays a crucial role in keeping these facilities in top shape. Their dedication ensures that parks like Westhead are clean and ready for public use, reflecting the county's commitment to providing quality recreational spaces.

For those interested in utilizing these amenities, both Wildwood and the Racquet Center have dedicated phone lines for reservations and membership inquiries. As Columbia County continues to enhance its parks and recreation offerings, residents can look forward to a summer filled with outdoor activities and community engagement.
