After years in the making, Lancaster County is the proud owner of a new 60-acre, $7 million park complex in Indian Land – Walnut Creek Park. Residents of Walnut Creek joined the subdivision’s developers and county officials April 24 (2013) for a ribbon-cutting celebrating the park’s turnover to county control. The park includes two tennis courts, six baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields and two full-sized outdoor basketball courts, as well as a covered picnic area and a field house with park offices, concessions and restrooms. Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Director Hal Hiott said the park should provide a boon to the county’s economy as well. He said the county has already contracted with a company that will host baseball and softball tournaments there. “That starts May 4 and 5 and it’s going to be three times a month through September,” Hiott said. “We’re just excited to have it (the park), and ready to start programming.”
