Off-leash ✓
A large county park just outside downtown with trails, a fishing dock and, crucially, a fenced off-leash dog park, one of the few places near Charleston where dogs can legally run loose. It is the go-to for a proper energy-burn without the beach-hour restrictions, with shade and water on site.
Off-leash zone: Fenced off-leash dog park within the county park; dogs must be leashed elsewhere in the park. A small park admission fee applies.
💡 Bring proof of vaccination and go early in summer, when the shade and morning cool are worth having.
