Johns Island is getting its first recreation center. The city of Charleston began clearing the site this month at the corner of Maybank Highway and Main Road, and full construction is scheduled to start in late March 2027.
How it is funded.
The $65 million facility is funded by a $70 million recreation bond that Charleston voters approved in 2023. It will give the island its first major public recreation facility, something the community has never had.
What comes next.
Site clearing runs through the fall and winter, then the main construction start lands in late March 2027. Expect the project to take shape along Maybank Highway through next year, with the city publishing updates as each phase begins.
