Beaufort County is hosting a Grand Opening celebration for Whitehall Park Friday, April 21, at 10:30 a.m. Beaufort County Councilman York Glover and City of Beaufort Mayor Stephen Murray will provide opening remarks and cut the ribbon.

Whitehall Park is located at 120 White Hall Drive, Lady’s Island and is owned by Beaufort County, with the City of Beaufort providing maintenance of the property. The park is 9.72-acres of mixed pine and live oak canopy along a salt marsh point on the Beaufort River.

Passive recreation amenities at the park include public access with a pervious parking lot, pervious sidewalks, a pavilion with restrooms and water fountains, a picnic garden under live oak canopy, and benches along the scenic river front. A boardwalk also joins the lighted pervious multi-use pathway along the causeway to the Woods Memorial Bridge. This pathway will allow visitors and residents to safely walk or bike from downtown Beaufort to the residential and shopping areas on Lady’s Island, day or night.

Whitehall Park is open to the public Monday through Sunday from dawn to dusk by an automatic timed gate. The pathway is open to the public 24/7. Please contact the City of Beaufort Downtown Operations Manager, Linda Roper, at lroper@cityofbeaufort.org for reservation/rental requests.
