After a closure that lasted fifty long years, Spartanburg’s beloved Duncan Lake Park is open once more to the public. Locals brimming with excitement are making their way to the park, armed with their sunscreen and fishing gear to commemorate the grand reopening of this cherished community venue. Families have been eagerly visiting the park, set to make the most of the scenic day.
In the crowd was 5-year-old Rylnn Wilkinson, who hurriedly reeled in her day’s catch. “I just caught a big fish!” she shrieked, her face radiating with pride. Using her preferred artificial worm, she showed that real bait isn’t a prerequisite for a successful fishing trip.
Christopher George, a speaker for the City of Spartanburg, provided some historical context. “It was a substantial time ago, and there were neighborhood reservations back then about people fishing and utilizing the lake that aren’t relevant anymore,” he elaborated. The community’s perspective has since shifted, with numerous residents expressing a robust desire to witness the park’s reopening. Local fisherman, Justin Kelly expressed his delight, saying, “Oh, I’m elated. I’ve been yearning to fish here for a long time, I just didn’t want to get penalized for fishing here.”
Kelly used the occasion to teach others a few tricks with the fishing rod, although he admitted that his protege, Sam Duggins, was experiencing more fortune. “I’ve received a few bites but have yet to hook one,” she declared with a cheerful grin.
The grand reopening of Duncan Lake Park symbolizes more than just the return of a recreational spot. It also represents a resurgence of community spirit and the genesis of new memories, marking a significant milestone in the history of Spartanburg.
