Cater’s Lake
Paved Walkways
A system of paved walkways will meander through the park, providing access to picnic areas and the water’s edge. Enjoy a picnic lunch or a casual stroll.
Native Landscape
The existing tree canopy will be supplemented with native plant species to create a lush, attractive environment that is beneficial to the local ecosystem.
Nesting Habitat
A nesting island will be built in Cater’s Lake to provide a quiet, separate space for the winged residents of Cater’s Lake.
Covered Bridge
A covered bridge will serve as a key focal anchor across the lake. The architectural feature will enhance views from all points throughout the park.
Intersection Improvements
The intersection of Hiawatha Drive and East Greenville Street will be closed permanently to allow SCDOT to install a traffic signal at Mauldin Street and East Greenville Street. The closure will not only eliminate cut-through traffic adjacent to the park, it will provide the opportunity to create an entrance plaza and additional parking for visitors.
Cost
The improvements will cost $5.8 million, paid for by a reinvestment of Hospitality Tax funds.
Schedule
The project is scheduled to be substantially complete by December 2025.
