Welcome to any person interested in the future of Charleston's Coonskin Park! Yeager Airport in Charleston has proposed a runway extension that would destroy approximately 400 acres of Coonskin Park, including all the upper shelters and hiking trails, and would forever bury Coonskin Branch (including "the Grotto" and the Alice Knight Memorial Trail) under hundreds of feet of rubble. We're here to protect Coonskin.

'Friends of Coonskin' was originally formed over 20 years ago when the airport was proposing a similar expansion that would have impacted the park. That proposed project was stopped and Friends of Coonskin went inactive. Now, FOC is back to once again protect one of Charleston's most accessible and beloved public parks.
