It is a nice park! It is just a large piece of greenery with docks overlooking the Ashley River,…read moreand it is a great place to chill and look out at the water. Parking is free. The parking sign about parking patrons can be confusing, but just ignore it. Anyone can park there for free, and we had no problems staying for more than two hours. You also have access to the docks, although the one where the boats are kept has a lock combo, so if the gate is not already open, then you cannot access that particularly one unfortunately.

Update: over the holidays, we took the family kayaking. My brother, mom and I had never been. We…read morehad so much fun. A single kayak is $4 for 30 minutes. We also did the entire disc golf course over two days. The first day we did 7 holes and the second day we did 11. We were all pretty much beginners so we definitely struggled a bit (so many trees). I had bought a disc set off Amazon and luckily they were bright colors because one person in our group kept losing theirs in the dead leaves. If you have to rent, I believe each disc is $5. It was fun but it does take awhile if you aren't great, like we were. I would definitely go again to see if I can get anywhere close to par (not likely). Still highly recommend this park. We are lucky to have it nearby.

Great place to spend the day either solo or with family and friends.

This is…read morelocated close to Park Circle and many other parks and is easy to miss when you drive by, but it is well worth a stop if you are looking for a nice wide open area to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. This park is not too crowded and provides a good level of peace and quiet. I like that this park is divided in two by Montague Avenue and that each side is a little bit different from the other side. This park is very clean and well maintained and I have had many fun times, picnics, and adventures here over the years.
