Odell Weeks Activity Center

Odell Weeks Activity Center is a real gem in Aiken, South Carolina. Whether you’re into fitness, family time, or just enjoying the outdoors, there’s something for everyone here. One of our favorite things about Odell Weeks is how versatile the space is. The mile-long track that loops through the park is perfect for walking, running, or in our case—rollerblading. It’s smooth, well-maintained, and surrounded by trees and open areas, which makes every lap feel refreshing rather than repetitive. The playground is another highlight, especially if you have kids. It’s clean, safe, and well-equipped with plenty of features to keep children entertained. It’s also right near the track, so it’s easy to keep an eye on the kids while getting in some laps. On weekends, the playground has a steady buzz of energy without ever feeling too crowded. Inside the rec center, there are tons of activities and classes for all ages, plus a gym and sports courts. Whether you’re looking for a spot to be active or just a peaceful place to unwind, Odell Weeks offers a little bit of everything. It’s become a regular spot for us, especially for rollerblading, and we’re always glad we stopped by.

Add lights or a crosswalk to the west end of the complex facing the nature preserve, countless times I've watched entire families that park at the preserve come feet from being ran over because they think its a good idea to dress in all black athletic clothes and cross a 35 mph street in the pitch black of night, and then they will taunt you like its your fault.

We really like this park. Age ranges from 2-12. It could use a structure over the playground and a splash pad and it would be perfect. The lobby where the bathrooms are often smells of bodily fluids though

Aiken SC area is the best in the SE Hurricane damage

We come to this park every time we visit my in-laws. It is a great place to go to exercise, take your kids to play, or simply enjoy the outdoors! I wish all towns/cities offered a playground like this. I love it and wish we had the same near our home.
