Evans: Parks, Trails and Events
Accommodation in Evans
For a stay in Evans, Georgia, you can choose from parks, trails and cultural events to shape your visit. Evans Towne Center Park is in the center of Evans, next to The Plaza development project. Events and concerts are held there throughout the year at the Columbia County Amphitheater. Sports, outdoor activities and stage performances offer different ways to plan your stay.
Parks, Sports and Trails
Blanchard Woods Park has four regulation-size soccer fields and an additional stadium soccer field. It also has a certified cross-country course for competitions involving high school and college athletes. Soccer and cross-country offer two distinct sporting options: several soccer fields on the one hand, and a course for cross-country competitions on the other. If sports are important to your trip planning, you can take these specific facilities into account.
The park next to the Evans Library brings together playgrounds, a pond and a walking path. There are three playgrounds, including accessible areas. Ducks, geese and turtles are often found at a large pond. The walking path is one-third of a mile long, adding a short route to your visit. This park offers play, wildlife watching and a walk as separate activities.
The Evans To Lock Trail is six miles long, fully paved and wheelchair accessible. At the end of the trail are the Columbia County Visitors Center, Savannah Rapids Park and the headwaters of the historic Augusta Canal. Compared with the one-third-mile walking path in the park next to the Evans Library, it is the longer option; the trail is also paved and wheelchair accessible. The two lengths give you a direct comparison when planning time for a walk or a longer route.
Riverside Park includes the Riverside Dog Park, where dogs can roam freely and meet other dogs. The dog area is open from 8 a.m. until dusk. Evans Towne Center Park offers free parking and access to restrooms and water. If you’re factoring these hours or facilities into your plans, check the details before your visit.
Events and Culture
The Columbia County Performing Arts Center is an 85,000-square-foot event venue with 2,062 seats. Its program includes concerts, musicals and acrobatic shows, among other events. Events and concerts are held throughout the year at the Columbia County Amphitheater in Evans Towne Center Park. The venues therefore differ in the programs described: the Performing Arts Center hosts several types of shows, while the amphitheater is associated with concerts and events throughout the year.
