Midtown Nexton: A Park Paradise

At Midtown Nexton, the parks are designed to make it easy to get outside, stay active, and connect with neighbors. Residents can explore miles of walking trails that wind past scenic ponds and open green spaces, challenge friends to a round of disc golf or a game of bocce, join a pickup match on the sand volleyball court, or take advantage of outdoor fitness for an open-air workout. A central food truck lawn creates a natural gathering place for community events, casual evenings, and weekend meetups, while the surrounding parks and trails offer countless opportunities to enjoy the Lowcountry landscape.

Brown Family Park

Brown Family Park showcases just how fun and all-around-fabulous a park can be. In fact, the park opened with a concert by the Ben Miller Band, which marked the first time a Piccolo Spoleto event was hosted in Summerville. And it’s still rocking, with concerts and shows. Of course, its unique design and plantings also make it a great place to enjoy a quiet Lowcountry day.

If you’re looking for a distinct outdoor experience, we think you’ll be very pleased with what you find.
