Spring Island, S.C. – Spring Island, a 3,000 acre private community in the South Carolina Lowcountry, is investing in its future as demonstrated by the completion of a new 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art sports complex. The new complex includes a resort-style pool area, fitness center, tennis courts, croquet pitch, and outfitter center with equipment for the numerous outdoor pursuits that abound on Spring Island.

Among the many amenities and programs integrated into the new complex: zero-entry family pool, lap pool, tennis pro shop and six Har-Tru tennis courts, Pilates and yoga studio, cardio and weight training equipment, croquet pitch, treatment rooms for massage and physical therapy, and the Outfitter Center equipped for numerous sports and activities such as  kayaking, biking, fishing, boating, baseball, tennis, croquet, basketball and volleyball.

“While some communities are fighting with banks and others are hiding their heads in the sand, the property owners at Spring Island are investing in the future of their community with this new $5 million sports complex,” said Craig Lehman, manager of Spring Island Realty.

Spring Island’s new sports complex is located in the Walker Landing area, the social hub at Spring Island, housing the community dock, and the River House with restaurant, gathering room, and community post office.
