We headed out to James Island County Park which we had visited in the past due to the excellent dog park they built. It is a top notch park so we expected the same for the playground area. we were not disappointed.
The playground was large with many different setups, and best of all a padded floor. They also had large canvas shades over the equipment to help stay cool and keep the sun from burning. If it was really warm, there was even a play area with fountains and rubber floor for the kids to splash around in.
There is also a water park complete with lazy river, slides and large pool. However it was not open at the time so we did not check it out. There is always a next time though.
So if you are looking for a playground in the Charleston S.C. area, James Island is the place to go!
