Recreational facilities are throughout Park West, connected by paved pathways that folks walk, jog, bike and golf cart on. The Tennis Center has six courts on the neighborhood's west side, right by the two community pools. Down the road, the Park West Recreation Complex is a magnet for local athletes and a center for youth sports programs. Facilities include a playground, a swimming pool, ballfields, sand volleyball courts and a fishing lake. Another spot where resident anglers can fish is the Park West Crab Dock. The pier juts 60 feet across Lowcountry marshes to overlook still water and green codgrass.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
