It is located in the West Ashley area of the city. The city originally bought a 99.8-acre parcel, including a lake created from an old phosphate mine, in 1985. In 1997, a neighboring property owner, Ross Development Corp., offered to deed the city six adjoining parcels in exchange for the city's constructing a road from the Glenn McConnell Parkway to the park. The estimated cost of the road was $421,100, and the appraised value of the new 161 acres being offered (a 95-acre park addition and a 66-acre wetland preserve) was $429,590.[1] Work on the park began in 1998 after the city was permitted to remove several large trees at the site.[2] In 1998, Anson Construction Co. was awarded a $2.3 million contract for the park's initial development.[3] The park opened on April 8, 2000 to the public, but progress on new features at the park continued.[4] By 2001, the park included four baseball fields and four soccer fields. Bicycle and pedestrian trails crisscrossed the property down to Church Creek. Although the public had been given access to the park as features were added, the formal opening of the park did not occur until 2001.[5] On Sundays adult recreation soccer games are held at West Ashley Park during both the Spring and the Fall seasons of the CSL. In 2007, a disc golf course was planned, the only free course within an hour of Charleston.[6] Notes1. ^{{cite news|title=Deal Could Double Park Size|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch97/0297/arc0218147073.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=Feb 18, 1997|author=Robert Behre}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=City Approves Tree Removal for Park|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch97/0697/arc0609164722.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=June 9, 1997|author=Robert Behre}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Council approves $2.3M for New West Ashley Park|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch98/0598/arc0527190300.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=May 27, 1998|author=Robert Behre}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=West Ashley Park Plays Ball at April 8 Opening|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch00/0300/arc0309252256.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=March 9, 2000|author=Janice Shumake}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=West Ashley Park Open, Unfinished|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch01/0601/arc0617294895.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=June 17, 2001|author=Jason Hardin}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=City to build disc golf course in West Ashley Park|url=http://archives.postandcourier.com/archive/arch07/0607/arc06214656585.shtml|accessdate=Nov 20, 2012|newspaper=Charleston Post & Courier|date=June 21, 2007|author=Kristen Hankla}} 1 : Parks in Charleston, South Carolina |
