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!

Even on the rocky spots, it is still easy to walk/bike as it's pretty smooth. Some of the trail is covered in the woodsy areas, but it is mostly open. Love that parts of it are along the water.

There's so much to love about the pool at the town of Mount Pleasant's R.L. Jones Center …read more.. there's ample parking ... two locker rooms ... six showers and plenty of toilets (which is always a good thing); however, the main attraction for me is the Power Aquatics Program offered Monday - Saturday at 10:00 AM. Amy (Mon., Wed., Fri.) and Diane (Tues., Thurs., Sat.), the instructors, are proficient and engaging. Each workout is different and often incorporate a 'tool of the trade' such as noodles, kickboards and dumbbells. The pool is well-maintained and though classes are large, there is always plenty of room for kicks and punches in all directions! I found participants to be welcoming to a newbie like me. Many of us started the program following replacement and/or repair surgeries where PT left off. I attribute my increased range of left arm/shoulder motion, strength in my right (totally replaced) knee, as well as improved balance to my aquatic workouts ... the water is so forgiving. Classes can be purchased as a series of five ($25.00) or ten ($50.00) and must be used within three or six months, respectively ... the first class is free. The neat thing about this feature is that classes can be taken at either Jones or the pool in Park West. Power Aquatics has become a priority for me. Try it ... you'll be hooked!
