CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Lowcountry Weekend) – Gentle breezes are getting crisper, the afternoon light is turning from white to gold, the nights are getting longer day by day… Yes, it’s official: fall has arrived at Charleston County Parks! At the end of the summer, dozens of fun programs and events appear in the parks for the new season. This fall, try new fitness activities, discover the natural wonders of the Lowcountry and enjoy relaxing festival days in the parks. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming opportunities for nature lovers of all ages:

Take advantage of the cooler weather when you move your training out of the gym and into the parks. Walk, run or bike on miles of scenic trails; get your flow during Starlight Yoga on Mount Pleasant Pier; learn to surf the ocean in a kayak; reach new heights on the 50-foot climbing wall; or join other community members for open gym recreation in Hollywood. Do you have a competitive spirit? Sign up to participate in the Chile 5K or the Lowcountry Trail Half-Marathon and 5K. And McClellanville Youth Sports introduces energetic kids to tackle football, flag football or cheerleading.

Those looking for less strenuous fun can choose from a myriad of nature programs. Bird lovers will all delight in the amazing avian diversity of the Lowcountry on birdwatching walks at the Caw Caw Interpretive Center and Lighthouse Inlet. Sharp-eyed observers are delighted by raptors at Johns Island County Park and witness the migration of monarch butterflies at Folly Beach. And young (and young at heart) learners are all welcome in the hands-on classes. Toddlers will delight in the Wee Wild Ones series, while elementary and middle school nature lovers will thrive in the Homeschool in the Parks, Earth Explorers and Junior Naturalist programs. Older children and adults can deepen their understanding of the natural world through interpretive programs, including beach walks, canoe trips, and the Poetry at McLeod series.

Ready to relax and unwind with family and friends? Sip and stroll through beautiful Lowcountry scenery at Wine Down Wednesday and Toast Under the Oaks; spin and shimmy at Dancing on the Cooper; and enjoy live music at the Palmetto Park Jam. Celebrate fall in epic fashion at Harvest Festival, a popular and thrilling festival famous for its bluegrass music, delicious food and family-friendly activities. Humans need canine escorts for Dog Day Afternoon, when fur babies invade Charleston County’s water parks. And really good boys and girls can meet friends (and their humans) at midweek Yappy Hour events.

This season, fall in love with Charleston County Parks all over again!

Lee Cohen doesn’t consider the Charleston Battery a small-market team in the USL Championship.

Of course, there are clubs within the USL Championship that are surrounded by larger population centers — New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Tampa Bay being prime examples — than the Charleston Battery.

These two clubs have to compete for entertainment dollars against professional teams in leagues like the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball.

“These clubs might be in cities with a bigger population, but look at who they’re competing against,” Cohen said. “I like to turn the script around. Charleston has a lot more sense of community, and I think the potential is there to really grow the club, which I don’t know if that’s possible in some of the other cities.

This is one of the reasons Cohen was drawn to drumming in Charleston and the Lowcountry.

The Battery announced on September 20 the hiring of Cohen as the new president of the football club. Cohen comes to the club after recently serving as president of another USL championship club, the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

“I felt like we needed someone who had experience in the USL Championship,” Battery majority owner Rob Salvatore said. “Lee has a tremendous amount of experience in the USL and I think he’s the right person to really bring the whole club to the top of the mountain. In my opinion, we were really lucky to have a guy with Lee’s resume.

Cohen joins the battery to oversee the overall operations of the club, both as general manager of the team, which will include the signing of players and coaches, and the business operations of the team, from stadium operations ticketing, marketing and sponsor development.

Since the battery’s inception in 1993, these two roles had been separated within the club’s hierarchy. Former Charleston coach Mike Anhaeuser served as general manager for more than a decade.

“The structure has been a bit different in the past,” Salvatore said. “We wanted to combine the commercial and sporting side into a single role. Lee and I both feel this was a necessary change that needed to be made.

Lee spent four years at the USL handling league operations and player development before joining the Rowdies in 2010.

There he oversaw the team’s operations, eventually becoming the club’s operations director in 2012 and then club chairman in 2020.

The Rowdies won the North American Soccer League title in 2012. Cohen also oversaw renovations to Al Lang Stadium in 2014, creating an immersive experience for fans.

“I’m not a cultural person because I think that’s a buzzword,” Cohen said. “I’m more interested in our identity. What are our values ​​as an organization and do we adhere to these values ​​on a daily basis? Rob is a big canoe guy, so are we all rowing in the same direction?

“Does any decision we make as a club lead the organization to profitability or does it lead us to more wins? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then we do that. that need.

As president, Cohen led the Rowdies through the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to win the club’s first Eastern Conference title.

Cohen will oversee all club operations with two home games remaining this season at Patriots Point, starting with the Battery’s Sept. 23 game against Rio Grande Valley FC Toros.

“I feel like it’s the first day of school,” Cohen said. “I’m very excited to dive straight in, get into the trenches, talk to supporters and fans at the upcoming home games.”
