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!

Super fun place for my 5 year old, he requests to go to this park specifically :) There are also tennis courts attached so bring your racquets. Parking is designated on the side, and free of course which is great. There's also a wooden seat around a big tree and a gazebo for parents to relax. Wonderful park! Take your kiddos!

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. I like to start at mile 8.2. Although, the parking lot is small and can fill up quickly on a weekend morning.

I love the Greenway! I've ridden bikes on it, but mostly I walk or run. It's not too busy but there…read moreare enough people that I feel safe. There are so many birds to see on the Johns Island portion of the trail. I enjoy seeing Wood Storks, Roseate Spoonbills, Anhingas, herons, and more. There are several trailheads along the Greenway to park. The marsh views are spectacular! And it's free of charge.

This year was a little different in that they changed up the place where you get your tickets for the train which was a nice change. The lines weren't too bad and they finally put out more stations for you to make s'mores. My kids enjoyed the climbing wall in the merry go round and even got to see Old Saint Nick himself! Like always the park never failed to bring a smile to every child's face and we look forward to being back there next year.. our trip there though was a whole lot better then two years ago which took us 4 hours to get in versus the 18 minute ride this time.

Notably absent, or unable to be located, were any bathrooms save for a porta potty by the entrance. Those just aren't doable when you have young kids with you.
