Additionally, there are kayak rentals and a kayak launch, as well as bicycle and peddle boat rentals for those who want to experience the park from the water.

MEMORIAL WATERFRONT PARK Nestled under the base of the Ravenel Bridge, Memorial Waterfront Park is the ideal spot for family summer fun with an expansive lawn for picnics, a nautical-themed playground and soft-serve ice cream dispensed at the River Watch Café and Gift Shop. Soak up the beautiful views of Charleston Harbor from the 1,250-foot-long Mount Pleasant Pier, and tote along a fishing rod to cast a few lines. Fun fact: the pier’s foundation was created from pared-down pilings from the Silas N. Pearman Bridge that predated the Ravenel. Sit and lounge a spell in one of the swings or rocking chairs and idle away the afternoon. While there, immerse yourself in the local culture and explore the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Pavilion, War Memorial and Visitor Center. The pier also features an 8,100-square-foot covered pavilion that hosts dances and events throughout the year. Visit tompsc.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/35 for hours and contact information.
