Four new turf fields planned

Buckwalter Recreation Center is the county’s main recreation complex in Bluffton, at 905 Buckwalter Parkway. Beaufort County Parks and Recreation runs it. It has an indoor gym and fitness room, outdoor fields and the town’s concrete skatepark, so it works for a rainy day or a game day. It is one of the busier Bluffton parks, and it is out on the growing western side of town.

Inside the Center

The center’s gym is the base for the county’s programs in Bluffton: after-school care, summer camps, senior programs and recreational athletic leagues. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends, per the listing. They can change, so call (843) 255-6710 first.

The Skatepark

The Bluffton skate park is a concrete park of about 11,000 square feet, built by Artisan Skateparks for the county on the same site. It has bowls and rails. Helmets and pads are the sensible choice, and the county sets the park’s rules on site.

The Fields and the Expansion

Buckwalter’s fields host youth soccer and other leagues. In mid-2026 the county broke ground on a $14 million expansion that adds four multi-use turf fields, doubling the current two, along with more parking and a new restroom building. The county gives 18 to 24 months to finish it, so expect construction nearby until then.
