    I would call this a hidden gem tucked away in beautiful downtown Charleston. Hazel Parker Playground not only has a playground, but also has a tennis court, a basketball court, a baseball field, and an open area to run around in next to it. As for the playground, there are two. They are separated into something for the littler ones and something for the bigger ones. The little ones have a rather large enclosed area with a couple of climbing activities, a swing set, and a really cool jeep to drive. The bigger ones also have something to climb on, across, and all over the place. There is also one of those really cool new school merry-go-rounds. There are lots of benches and picnic tables in the shade. They also have water fountains, and even one for the doggies. Of course my little guy thought it was for him! Attached to the park is an enclosed dog park too. You can also have your dog in the playground part. The best part about Hazel Parker Playground is that they have free parking!! There aren't many spaces, buy every time we have gone there has been a space. SO nice! The playground is always clean and rather quiet. A lovely place to spend an afternoon!

    Hazel Parker Playground is one of my favorite parks in Charleston. They have a full court basketball court, tennis court, baseball field, and cool swings and other items for kids to play on. There is on street parking close by and they even have one of those rare public restrooms south of Broad Street. They have plenty of shade during a hot day and water fountains for people and dogs. This park is awesome.

    I don't know about the park itself but there were convenient clean and air conditioned public restrooms!

    Really nice campground in the middle of the city (almost) if you are visiting Chas is just a short…read moredrive to downtown Chas. Also a short drive to McLeod Plantation. Full hoockups in all sites. The Park gets busy during the Holidays for the lights display and it is the added bonus to be able to walk around and see the art

    Fun fact - James Island County Park is home to the only lead climbing wall in Charleston. And an…read moreeven cooler fun fact - that climbing wall is completely outdoors! My husband and I have recently gotten into rock climbing, and we decided to bring our gear along with us on a trip to Charleston. We did some research, and found this hidden gem of a spot, located inside the Outdoor Zone of the beautiful James Island County Park. A climbing pass will run you $15, and it's an extra $8 if you need shoes and a harness. Online reservations are recommended, but you can walk-up as well. Note that you also have to pay a fee of $2 a person to get into the park itself. Our group of four was scheduled for a 5-7 PM climb on a Thursday, and we practically had the space to ourselves, except for the on-site climbing team. Lucas was helpful, and gave us a quick walk-thru of the space and their on-site rules. They use the figure-eight knot rather than carabiners for their belay routes, but they have several auto-belays of varying difficulties! When you get to the top of the main wall, it's a surreal experience. You are literally the same height as the trees! I'd happily return the next time I'm in the area, and highly recommend the James Island climbing wall to anyone who's looking for something fun and active to do outdoors!
