Serene place to sit and eat/talk. The shrubs and weeds have grown. If you sit on the benches, your view is blocked. Its not being cared for. I watched people walk their dogs with no poop bags, so I wouldnt sit in the grass.

Brittlebank Park on Lockwood Drive in Charleston is a one of my favorite parks. This is a nice wide open green space that is situated on the Ashley River and has unobstructed views of the water that are beautiful. Most times of the day this park is quiet and peaceful and is great for finding a spot to relax and clear your head in the middle of everything. I like having picnics here and even finding a nice spot to go fishing at this park. This is also a really good event space that can hold larger or smaller event very well. This park has plenty of trees and shade to keep you cool on a warm day. I have been coming to this park since before I could remember and have always had a positive experience here.

Love the park! So many areas to walk with dogs and a huge beautiful playground for kids. Love it!

The park was ok. For being in a historic district, I feel like the park itself should be in better condition. There are no trash cans and the walking paths are way outdated and BIG TRIPPING hazards as the roots from the nearby trees are pushing up through them.A lot of standing water from rain run off, pour drainage control. Mosquitos

Had a lovely riverside picnic, watching the dragon boats practice. The real reason for my visit, though, was to attend a session of the Low Country Stargazers. Every Wednesday (weather permitting) they set up telescopes here and study the night sky. It was fun and educational, and I had a close-up view of Saturn and Jupiter, among other things. Would be a great way to introduce young ones to astronomy.

Favorite place to come and walk the dog - and my dog’s favorite place in the whole world. Really nice park with a beautiful view of the river and plenty of benches to sit on. It’s free to visit and there is parking as well which is a plus. There’s also a nice playground for kids. Do note that there aren’t really lights as the park is technically closed at night.

A gorgeous place to watch the sunset and relax along the historic Ashley River. Dock access to boat pick ups and drop offs. (We did both for our friends boat) No bathroom facilities, but there were port-a-potties.

I love this little Ashley riverside park! Close to the Riverdogs stadium and the DMV, makes a great little picnic spot. There is a little playground there too that makes a great stop if you need to kill some time! This open space park is host to many great events year round as well!

Nice park that is secluded for the most part. Great place to go watch fireworks on the 4th of July or New years. Well kept and have security around at all times so you feel safe no matter when you are there.

Highly underrated park in Charleston. This park often hosts concerts, festivals and other events (I.e. SEWE). Includes some beautiful views of the Ashley river. Check it out for a gorgeous sunset walk.

Great location beside the Ashley River. This was one of our favorite parks for the kids. Unfortunately, the playground seems to have fallen into disrepair. Hopefully, there’s something in the budget for a renewal soon.

Normally would love this place but this is not the venue for an event that exists a large turnout. Typical for almost every event in Charleston now though: not enough parking, horrible crowd control, poor planning. Go enjoy this park on a normal day.

Beautiful hidden spot by the water I didnt know about after living near here 10+ years! Just a bit past the Riverdogs Stadium, this little park is a nice spot for waterside events. Theres a dock and a tiki bar in the river that apparently sells drinks occasionally and has those hydraulic water shoe things. Found out by participating in the Dragon Boat Festival to Support Cancer Survivors. Overall, great location. Uploading a picture of parking nearby.

Very beautiful place. If you would like to see some free fireworks every Friday night when theres a home game for the RiverDogs you can sit in the parking lot between 10 and 11:30 and wait for the game to be over. To see some wonderful fireworks. Nice playground for the children. Nice and Breezy beautiful Waterfront View

What a nice park, right behind the River Dogs ball park. Gorgeous old oak trees provide plenty of shade. There is a childrens play park as well. Great views of the Ashley River, and plenty of free parking. Seems like a nice place to spend some time with friends and family.

We came here after visitong the Angle Oak and had a great time. There is loads of room for running and playing. The play structures are in great shape. The view of the water is phenomenal! Highly recommend bringing your kiddos here. It was free which is nice, unlike the James Island Co park. We tried to go to that one, but Im not paying and arm and a leg to let the kids run off some energy.

The fishing here can be very fun. Sometimes the current is too strong so I fish near the shore. The dock is lit up at night as well. There is also a playground for kids to play and also an open area where your dogs can run free. There is a police station across the street so it makes it safer.

Review №82

Its a quaint park. Not really much to it. Thin strip of land along the waters edge, a playground for the kids, and a parking lot which often gets taken over and congested by the parking for the riverdogs games leaving park visitors forced to park across the street at the hotels or elsewhere entirely.

It was a great place to be for fun. There are piers you can walk out to and have your own little time of peace. Otherwise people were fishing also right there. And yet theres also a playground for kids to enjoy. Its a beautiful place that I had a great time at with my family.

Seems like a very lovely place to come do some fishing. The pier is quite sizable, and there are plenty of spots from which you can throw your line. We saw a gentleman catch a stingray and he showed my wife and I how to properly clean one and prepare it for cooking. The people out there were very friendly. This will definitely be a spot I will come back to to do some fishing and crabbing.

This large park that stretches along the water just North of downtown is a great place to get outside and take a nice walk. There are nice paths that wind along the water and pass beautiful scenery. Its also great for large events that take place here as they can spread out along the water. Its work a nice walk out of the bustle of downtown to explore.
