Parks
Within its corporate limits, Fountain Inn has five public parks and an indoor activities center and three separate walking trails. There are two mini-parks, one neighborhood park and two community parks within the city limits. Fountain Inn has 48.95 acres of parks, which exceeds the national recreational standard for a city of its size. The recreational parks include Georgia Street Park, Fairview Street Park, Sanctified Hill Neighborhood Park, PD Terry City Park and Woodside Park; and the walking trails are located in the Country Gardens neighborhood, Woodside Park area, and near Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
The mini-parks, Georgia Street Park and Fairview Street Park, have children's play areas and basketball practice courts. The two community parks, PD Terry City Park and Woodside Park, have ball fields and picnic areas.

Fountain Inn Disc Golf Course Now Open!
