Cayce city officials reopen some parks closed following floods

Cayce city officials have announced timelines for parks and trails that have been closed since historic flooding hit the Midlands earlier this month.

Officials said the Cayce Riverwalk will open its four phases as follows:

▪  Phase 1 from the North Avenue entrance to the Blossom Street Bridge will reopen Saturday.

▪  Phase 2 from the North Avenue entrance to Riverland Park will be closed until further notice due to substantial repairs.

▪  Phase 3 from Riverland Park to the Thomas Newman Boat Landing is currently closed but is expected to reopen next week.

▪  Phase 4 from the Thomas Newman Boat Landing to the Timmerman Trail will reopen Saturday.

City officials said the entrance near the Cayce Tennis and Fitness Facility on the Fort Congaree Trail will also reopen Saturday.

Officials said the Thomas Newman Boat Landing will remain closed for substantial repairs, but its parking lot will reopen Saturday.

Riverland Park Entryway Park and the Granby Gardens Park will both be closed for planned improvements, officials said.

City officials urged that people using the reopened trails and parks use caution and to stay on designated pathways.
