About Lions Memorial Field

In 1945, the city acquired 8 acres of land located along Buena Vista and Alta Vista Avenues for $1500. The land was purchased for use as a park and designated as a living memorial to those who lost their lives serving in the armed forces.

In October of 1950, the North Augusta Lions Club leased the property from the city for a nominal $1.00 annual fee. The club then improved the land and operated Lions Memorial Field for 29 years. During that time, Lions Field hosted North Augusta High School and Recreation League football teams and numerous area sporting competitions. In 1979 the property reverted back to the city for its continued recreational use.

Amenities at Lions Field

In the fall of 2000, extensive renovations to Lions Field were completed. Improvements include a new concessions pavilion, new restrooms, new grandstands with seating for 2,000, a new scoreboard, paved and lighted parking, a playground area, practice fields, sidewalks, landscaping and a decorative permieter wall.
