Outdoor Rec Center Open House

If you're going to venture away from the picnic grounds on Armed Forces Day, make sure it's to visit the Outdoor Recreation Center! They are running an open house and want you to stop by and see what's going on.

Visitors will have access to a free rock wall climb (with instruction). Stop by the rental showcase, where staff will show you how to use (or rent!) equipment such as kayaks, paddleboards, surf boards, and campers. Your kiddos will keep busy at the chalk zone. Test your balance on the slacklines. And if you aren't already familiar with what Charleston has to offer, there will be an information station highlighting all of the nearby Charleston attractions and local hotspots!
