Coonskin Park

Set across more than a thousand acres of West Virginia woodland just ten minutes from downtown Charleston, Coonskin Park was built over fifty years ago by a group of Kanawha County residents and has since grown into a sprawling public park with a dedicated side for celebrations. Its event facilities center on the C. Richard Foutche Clubhouse. Inside are two rentable rooms, the Oak Room and the Hearth Room, each seating roughly 100 guests for weddings, receptions, and parties. Outdoors, a garden arranged for ceremonies seats up to 150 against a backdrop of surrounding forest, while the Family Center provides a smaller, fireside space for showers and family gatherings. Day-of logistics are handled on the grounds: wireless internet in the clubhouse, bar service arranged through the park, an approved-caterer list, and free paved parking for more than 200 cars. Trails, a fishing pond, a pool, and an amphitheater round out the setting, extending the day well beyond the event itself.
