Absolute beautiful park in Mt.P for a quick visit or for an all day play date. Located underneath the Ravenel Bridge, on can have amazing views of Sunset on the water. There is a large playground for kiddos, different areas of seating around the grounds and a lovely long pier out to the harbor. Parking is easy and available under the bridge or across the street. There is also an amazing additional park that just opened by this additional parking. That part has basketball courts, work-out equipment, and two different enclosed dog parks. read more

I genuinely do not understand how Top Nails has such high ratings. Unfortunately, every experience I've had with this salon has been disappointing. When I book online with the technician I specifically choose, I am almost always assigned to someone else without notice. I was advised to call the salon directly to avoid this problem, so I did. Even then, my appointment was changed three times. Each time I was given a different explanation: the technician was on vacation, then called in sick, and then was suddenly unavailable to come to work. After the third rescheduling, I finally canceled my appointment altogether. A salon should respect its clients' time and honor appointments whenever possible. Repeated scheduling changes and poor communication are simply unacceptable. Based on my experience, this has been the most unprofessional nail salon I have dealt with in town. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Attended the Sweetgrass Festival at Watefront Park today! Parking was ample, the views are spectacular, it's extremely clean and the local Gullah artisans are masters of their craft. I'm legit obsessed with these baskets if anyone is wondering what to buy me as a gift! Haha! A beautiful park with incredible live music and majestic beauty! read more

Great place to take the kids, go for a walk or go fishing. The playground is big and has lots of nice equipment. The large open grassy space is great for running around. The pier allows for great views of the harbor and downtown Charleston. On our first visit, we saw lots of birds, fish and even dolphins! This is a well-maintained park that is fun for the whole family. read more

Great park for the grandkids amazing views and the prices at the gift shop were surprisingly cheap

I love coming over to this little park whenever I have some time. The pier is cute and you can fish off of which I enjoy in the summer. The little shop is very cute and has plenty of items and food. I also like taking the trails around this pier that takes you to see good views on the water. I love the little playground as well and the little water park. Overall a great family friendly place to go. read more

Such a peaceful park to use to get in a few miles for the day! There is a path that circles around greenery. There is a play area for children of all ages. A fishing pier is located at the further end of the deck along with a gift shop! Check out the sweet grass baskets when the shop is open ! read more

Love this park! Great already but got even more upgrades! Beautiful spot for sunset, very relaxing, splash zone for kids and dog parks! Clean bathrooms! Only negative is lack of parking when it's busy but adequate for a normal day read more

I've been to this park several times and they have a beautiful pier! I went here for both Shagging on the Pier and Sunset Yoga and love the outdoor views. read more

Nice playground for the kids. Not very dog friendly since dogs are not allowed in the playground or on the pier :( I understand why they may not be allowed in the enclosed playground but not on the pier? For some of us our pets are our kids. Other than that the park appeared clean and good for a short stroll. read more

No need to separate the park from the pier, they are both wonderful places to visit and to bring your guests. The memorial park has large grassy areas to relax, a very large area where dogs could play (I don't know if unleashed pets are allowed - don't be obnoxious), and a huge and well stocked playground for young children, with many pieces of equipment to keep different ages busy and excited. There is also a building that can be used for events such as weddings - this would be an awesome location for nuptials. read more

Overall: A great pier to take family and friends. The good: It's really neat to walk "under" the bridge and go out into the water a bit - it's one of the only public "piers" nearby that do that. The traffic on the bridge isn't nearly as loud as you would think. There are several sets of bathrooms and they are always clean, plus free parking. There's a good-sized playground for those with kids, and a decent amount of greenspace leading up to the pier. The pier itself is wide, clean, and well-structured. Lots of fishers come here, which is fun to watch, and you can see the USS Yorktown in the distance. If you're lucky you'll see some dolphins at the end of the pier. The not-so-good: Not much! read more

Awesome park, playground, walking path, views, pier, restrooms, grass and shaded areas. (March 2023) The weather was cool, the wind was blowing and Waterfront Park is beautiful. Kids played for 2 hours straight and didn't let up. There are 4 large climbing/playing structures and 2 sets of swings. Fresh mulch and rubber tore paved paths inside the playground. Restrooms were wonderfully clean and stocked. Pack a lunch and enjoy the small center grassy hill to sunbathe and eat. All ages welcome and able to play. The walking path was wonderfully paved and lovely in the afternoon. The breeze off the river makes it definitely cooler there so bring a windbreaker or light jacket. The pier is lovely to walk and has an affordable gift shop to show a little Charleston love while visiting. Soft serve ice cream is $3.5-4.75 there and had it not been so cold we would've enjoyed some. read more

I love this park! The pier is a great spot to watch a sunset under the lovely Cooper River Bridge. It's nice to see it up close and personal from this spot. There's also a lovely playground for kids and open space to soak up the sun. It's a great little walk and I love that it isn't deep into Mount Pleasant so it doesn't take long to get to from all areas of the city. Overall, would recommend checking this park out! read more

This is a gorgeous park with a breathtaking view of the waterfront. You can watch the bridge itself during a sunset or you can step under the sunset and watch the coastline. There is a restroom under the bridge and a small gift shop where you can buy souvenirs and fishing licenses. There was ample parking but I was there at sunset so not sure about during the day. Add this to your must stops in the Charleston area if even only to watch a sunset. read more

This spot located under the bridge offers a memorial, art works, plenty of parking, and a pier that sticks well out into the water. The views are excellent, space is ample, and even though the indoor bathrooms are presently closed, port-a-potties have been set up. It's a good starting spot to walk on the bridge, but it is also a nice relaxing area in and of itself. read more

I love coming here to walk the pier, or sit in the grass with a book. There's nothing like sunrise/sunset here.

Gorgeous park to stroll down with great views of the water, downtown Charleston and the bridge. It's shady under the bridge and there's a grassy area to hang around as well. Tons of seating, a visitor's center, and a coffee shop all on site. read more

It had been years since I'd been to the park and I guess we only made it as far as the playground the last time. I had no idea there was a pier to walk - a REALLY nice one, complete with a gift shop/cafe and restrooms. You can purchase a fishing pass at the shop too, which is great for visitors to the area. My daughter and I enjoyed the walk and just sitting in the swings checking out the view of the Yorktown. Highly recommend visiting and great for those who like to walk but need places to be able to sit and rest. read more

I love this park. There is plenty of parking, a park for kids, a pier, gift shop, tables & swings. It is right under the bridge & you are able to walk out onto the pier into the water. There are wonderul views of the water & downtown Charleston. They have bathrooms on site & a little cafe for snacks and drinks. You are able to fish & bring your dogs with you for a walk. There is also an event venue on site for weddings, etc. A nice spot to relax, take a walk, or bring the kids (or pups) for some fresh air. read more

We weren't really sure what to expect since we were vacationing in town and were just trying to find things to do. This was a very beautiful pier.

Talk about an awesome park to take your kids. With tons of [free] parking, really clean grounds and a unique vantage point ofarthur ravenel jr. bridge, there's a variety of things to do -- walk/run/play/fish/etc. We actually came here 2x during our stay bc of its close proximity (less than 1 mile) to our hotel. Lots of adults running, tons of families playing with their kids in the playground, adults & children playing sports (frisbee, soccer, etc.) There's even a little souvenir store next to the [clean] public restrooms, right before the fishing pier. Definitely a place you want to check out if you're in the area. read more

I love this place! Definitely a place to take your guests here and walk around or practice photography. Such a beautiful vantage point from under the bridge. Plenty of parking, places to have a picnic, and just take a stroll outside. One of my favorite playgrounds to take my kids (6 & 3). The playground is gated, it has benches, chairs, multiple sections they can go from. I want to say it said up to 12yrs old. My kids probably could stay there all day. We walked to the pier to the shop, grabbed a snack and water, restrooms were very clean. We saw tons of tiny crabs on the sidewalks, the girls had a blast rocking on the swings. We talked to people fishing, everyone was very nice. Charleston has a lot of neat places to visit, definitely a must! read more

Always love to stop by here when I'm in the area, great view of the bridge and the water, nice open space to walk out and see the marshlands, and plenty of parking. They also sometimes have free concerts, and have bathroom facilities/snack and gift shop there as well. read more

Hubby and I went to the Memorial Waterfront Park while staying in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Nice walk along the pier. A small store if you want souvenirs, sandwich or ice cream. I would have given it a five but the restrooms on the pier were horrible. The restrooms at the visitors center were much cleaner. read more

We were looking for a pretty park to privately renew our 10 Year Anniversary vows, and landed here overlooking the bridge. The playground was pretty basic, my 7YO would have been bored after about 5 minutes, and there wasn't a lot of flower gardens, so not really a place we'd stay for long. The main focal point is the pier (perfect for fishing) and view of the bridge. There are plenty of benches and a few swings, a little store with snacks and some random souvenirs, as well as a public restroom. Bring bug spray if you plan to sit near the shore, the bugs are horrible and bite! read more

If your visiting Charleston, this is a must place to visit. Great park on the waterfront. I really enjoyed this beautiful place.

Mt. Pleasant is lucky to have the Memorial Waterfront Park. It's a really fun place to visit and stay active while in the Charleston area, and it offers something for all. For starters, there's a really nice playground for the kids- so if yours need to burn off any energy, this is the place to come. You can fish from the pier, or if you want to relax, sit in one of the many swings and just enjoy the view (unfortunately, the swings do not swing in this park). There's a small gift shop that also sells a few food items if you want a snack. A lot of concerts and events happen here as well. I've been to a few and it's a great outdoor venue since you have a breeze off the river. The park has bathrooms that are open during business hours and always very clean. There's also a water fountain just outside the bathrooms and one heading toward the Cooper River Bridge pedestrian path. Parking is free, abundant, and located under the bridge. This is a great place to park if you plan to run or walk the bridge as well. read more

This review is for the playground only--it's not great for young toddlers. The posted age range for the smallest play set is 2-5 and even then there were big kids (7? 8?) hanging from the rim of the slide and swinging their legs around the space where a kid would be coming out of the slide; one almost kicked my kid. This playground is too busy and hectic and I came on a weekday during business hours! I've seen playgrounds where this wasn't a problem because the young kids' play set is placed farther away from the big kids' play set. There was a mess of half eaten/crushed crackers on the playground that hadn't been cleaned up when I was there. Parking was easy. read more

I'm a big fan of the Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. It's a great place to bring the kid to play on the playground when I don't feel like taking her to a bigger park. It's a great place to do a little fishing from the pier at the park. The swings on the pier are nice to relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty. There is plenty of shade on hot days thanks to the Cooper River Bridge. There's a gift shop where you can buy shirts, stickers, snacks, or even a cold beer. The gift shop even rents out fishing polls if you came unprepared, but the fishing bug struck. And best of all about this park is that it is generally never over-crowded, so you can relax and enjoy a lazy day. read more

Did Starlight Yoga here last night and it was great! A bit cold, but overall a great experience. The teacher was awesome and I had a lot of fun. The best part was the view. The bridge at sunset is quite a sight to see! There was live music played quietly in the background and the poses were relaxing. The class was also only $5 for county residents and $8 for non county residents. If you pre-ordered, you got a glow in the dark ring as well. I will definitely be attending more events here as they come up! read more

A very nice park and tribute to the fallen who gave their lives to this great nation. As a Veteran it is always a somber experience going to War Memorials. Reading the names gives you the knowledge that our freedom comes at a great cost. The Memorial is really nice and it truly honors those whose names are written on the many plaques. The committee who set it up the Memorial site did an outstanding job! read more

This is a beautiful park right on the water underneath the Ravenel Bridge. I park here when running the bridge, and it's a great location to park when you want to run or walk the bridge. This park has great views of Charleston Harbor and downtown - you can walk out to the end of the pier and there is even a small store that sells souvenirs. I saw in our local news that Mount Pleasant may start charging for people to park here. I hope this doesn't happen because I think that many people who would like to enjoy the park wouldn't want to come if they have to pay. Please keep it the way it is right now so that all of us locals can keep enjoying it! read more
