Amazing Grace Park, The Clementa Pinckney Memorial was established to memorialize the life of the late Reverend Senator Clementa Pinckney and the other victims of the Emanuel 9 slaying in Charleston, 2015. The park celebrates the legacy of Clementa Pinckney, promotes healthy lifestyles and communities, respects stewardship of resources, and creates sustainable economic benefits. The park features accessible seating areas and facilities, native flowers and foliage, exercise opportunities, and educational playground and musical equipment suitable for neurodivergent learners. The grounds provide a venue for gatherings, festivals, concerts, weddings, and local activities. The park lends an educational arm to the community and surrounding areas. Students, tourists, and learners of all ages can learn about the foliage at the park with upcoming QR coded signage throughout. Visitor groups are welcome to visit the grounds to enjoy a quiet moment of reflection, a picnic under the pavilion, or exercise around the quarter mile walking trail.
