The riverfront in Charleston is very artificial, with a high riverbank necessary, it seems, to…read moreprotect the town from flooding. The park here contains some sidewalks both at street level as well as closer to (but not on) the water, as well as an amphitheater and a few other facilities. I visited once when the street was closed to make way for a festival; festivals are nice but the notion of closing a street rather than having a real park seemed not that great. When there's no event going on, it's not the most happening place. Some work has been done on the area, and perhaps more will be done.

It is a nice recreational area along the Kanawah Blvd. On Fridays, there are food trucks and a DJ…read morelive with great music. You can stroll down for a while, grab something eat, and enjoy the breeze from the river. It has a beautiful view. Also, there are public bathrooms, very clean, and an area with tables and a playground for kids. If you are visiting, I suggest walk around the area and check-it out.

There is nothing there. The GPS told us to pull over, and there was nothing but a guardrail there.read more

What a great little park! Okay,I liked it because I took advantage of the free RV spot (with…read morepower!) and the much needed break. It's in between the river and a busy main road, so it's a bit noisy... And yet, so peaceful watching the sunset and the tugs go by. Two day limit in 15 days is fair enough. 3 spots. A friendly local also walking her dog wished me a pleasant stay. Many families enjoying the playground with their kids and couples enjoying the scenic view. I only wish there was some sort of crosswalk to the stores on the other side of the busy street.

Kidaroos closed and reopened as the Fun Factory. I took two grandkids. It was $30 for the two of…read morethem for basic play. You have to buy their socks, which are $3.00 a pair. With tax, admission was over $40. I believe they also offer some kind of splash option for additional money. These prices are before you get anything to eat or drink and of course, most kids will want to play the video type games. These cost extra money. You could easily run through over $60 for two kids to play a couple of hours. Besides, about a fourth of the playground is for kids 3 and under, so the play area for those 4 and over is actually smaller than it first appears. All in all, my opinion is that this is an outrageously expensive place to take your kids. I would not do it again under any circumstances.

It's a fun indoor play space for a good price. It is not well maintained though, and has become…read moreraggedy. Part of a climbing tunnel is roped off because there's a tear in the fabric, yet kids are able to just climb through it. After spending $25 for a game card, many of the games took money off the card but did not work. It's a hassle trying to get a refund. The place looks a little dirty and paint is missing from the walls in places. Employees are nice and helpful. Owner who works there does not appear competent. I most likely won't return under the current conditions.

The park, especially on a gorgeous 80 degree Sunny Sunday day, would have been jammed pack with bumper to bumper cars cruising through the park. Every field, every table, every inch being utilized BUT not today! Today's generation doesn't like to go outside. A park goes to waste on them. It's a true shame. Tony and I walked around the small groups of people fishing and talking. We saw 2 turtles. I took pics of flowers and the beautiful scenery while our grandson enjoyed the playground with his mother. My only concern is that people are NOT using the trash cans. Pure lazy people! The cans were not full, people just chose not to take the few extra steps to throw stuff away properly!!

I quite like it for the pickle ball courts. The groundhogs, however, despise this place since the lead groundskeeper of the groundhog community left many years ago to audition for the next Punxsutawney Phil role. He won the audition, which meant the rest of the groundhog community had surrendered their power and naming rights to Radical Ringtail, the leader of the Charleston Trash Panda gang. Now putting that totally irrelevant nonsense to the side, we can expect many great things to come from the beautiful views and scenic West Virginia trails.
