Parks & Recreation
Brick Pond Park
Brick Pond Park, dedicated November 2008, represents the first urban ecology park in the Southeastern United States and serves as the central park facility to both Hammond’s Ferry and the City of North Augusta. With collaboration between the City, Hammond’s Ferry, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, this park represents cutting edge environmental technology that has restored an ecologically impaired drainage basin into a beautiful riparian habitat for birds, deer, reptiles and other indigenous species to this region. Brick Pond Park has become a botanical garden with paths, boardwalks, and outdoor classrooms, serving the casual visitor or the serious naturalist. This park is programmed to become a major natural sciences educational facility for Aiken County.

Boeckh Park is the first riverfront park in Hammond’s Ferry along the Savannah River and represents an inviting place to meet with friends or relax under a tree with a picnic lunch.

The Greeneway
The North Augusta Greeneway was developed in 1995 as a “rails to trail” bicycle and pedestrian route through the City of North Augusta and connects many of the City’s neighborhoods to public parks and downtown without having to use public roadways. A new loop around Hammond’s Ferry and along the entire Hammond’s Ferry riverfront makes the community and integral part of this magnificent trail system.
