WILLIAMSON PARK
A Woodland Preserve
Darlington, South Carolina
Where Nature and Southern Hospitality Meet!
In 1928, Bright and Margaret Williamson
gave more than 50 acres of land to the
people of Darlington to create Williamson
Park. Thanks to additional gifts of land, the
Park now includes approximately 70 acres
of cypress forest, through which Swift Creek
meanders. Williamson Park Drive runs along
the southern rim and affords a picturesque
view of the Park. The 1.1 mile Outer Loop
Trail is an easy walk. Renovated boardwalks,
bridges, and footpaths allow visitors to see
more than 300 plant and animal species
that flourish here.
