Look through the trees as you drive along West DeKalb Street in Camden between the railroad station and Chestnut Ferry Road and you’ll see a lot exposed dirt. That’s because work is well under way to transform Woodward Park.

At a cost of $10 million — half of which will come from the Health Services District of Kershaw County and MUSC Health — the upgrades will include new baseball and softball fields, a new concession stand, paved parking, an American with Disabilities Act compliant playground and much more. The project is a scaled-down version of what was originally proposed, which would have transformed the park into a sports complex.
