Mauldin residents enjoy five fantastic parks with various amenities. Sunset Park, Springfield Park and City Park all offer baseball and softball diamonds as well as picnic shelters and playgrounds.
In 2026, the City developed a Parks & Recreation Master Plan to identify community priorities and guide the future of Mauldin’s parks, programs and facilities.
The City of Mauldin first established a Parks & Recreation Department in 1967, when it purchased 16.8 acres on Hyde Circle, later renamed Springfield Park. The City installed two baseball fields, a playground area, three lighted tennis courts and one multi-purpose court.
Five years later, the City acquired an old school building with assistance from the Mauldin Jaycees, and it was converted into the Community Recreation Center. One year later, the first Recreation Director was hired, and over the next 10 years, they developed a system of parks and amenities for residents.
Since that time, the City has expanded the Recreation Department to include youth and adult sports leagues, summer camps, a Sports Center and a Senior Center that is open to both residents and non-residents of Mauldin.
