Bark Park

The Bark Park is located on the East side of Folly Beach between 5th and 6th block just passed the water tower. You can enter from Erie or Hudson. The park offers natural shade, water for the pups, seating for their people, pet waste bags, and receptacles for disposing of them. Some dog park etiquette to keep in mind:
• Should your pet show signs of illness or a contagious disease, don’t bring him/her to
the park.
• Don’t bring a puppy less than four months old or a female in heat.
• Keep and eye on your dog! Don’t let your dog be aggressive with another dog.
• Pick up your dog’s waste immediately.
• Don’t bring food for yourself or your dog.
• Bring a ball but be prepared to lose it.
• Don’t let your dog run in a pack. Intervene when play starts to get rough.
• Your dog’s shots must be up to date.
• A full list of rules is posted at the park.

Pirates Cove Playground

Wave Watch Playground

Tucked away on the west side neighborhood of Folly Beach on the corner of 5th Street West and West Cooper lies a fun, colorful children’s playground called Wave Watch Park. A towering playhouse centers the area with slides, ropes and poles. Swings, a web rope feature and spinning seats surround the playhouse. Creatively painted surfboards line the fence with ocean themed artwork from local residences. Artists include children from the library, the Wetmore family, the Foxhall family and the Grooms family. New bathrooms on sight use natural solar lighting and feature a framed chalkboard for children to express their artistic side. A gazebo and table fill the corner, so bring a snack and refreshments and enjoy the adventures at Wave Watch Park.

Shadow Race Park

Shadow Race park is the City’s most recently developed space. It is a unique and peaceful park that encourages calm activities and programs. Activities such as lady bug releases, bird watchIng, walking, relaxing and reading a book on the pergola benches, contemplating the history of the battery that is on the grounds, and enjoying the landscaping are all possibilities for your enjoyment at this park. The landscaping has chosen plantings and fixtures meant to draw in unique local wildlife. Specifically, selected hardscapes such as bat, bee, lady bug, and bird houses are weaved throughout the grounds with a pergola and benches.

Folly River Park

Folly River Park is located on the backside of the island, just as you come over the Folly River Bridge, adjacent to Center Street. It includes a community dock, which will allow residents and visitors to fish, crab and enjoy marsh vistas of sunsets. It is also a great venue for large group events and weddings. It provides a covered stage area, swings, bathrooms, water bottle refill stations, and walkways throughout the park area.
