A great place to bring the family or even just come alone. Newly added dog park for big and small dogs with a doggie water play area. Great open fields for soccer, volleyball, frisbee, or anything really. Designated playground with a giant hill to play on. Beautiful running/walking/biking trail. And even a few scattered ponds to fish in or admire the wildlife on.

Water park. Trails, snack stand. Great restrooms, splash pad. Paddle boat. The forest views wowIts great. For families too. Worth the price

I love coming here, especially with my pups and nieces and nephews

Very nice park. The dog park is huge with its own doggy splash pad. Its also very clean. The trails are very nice and the scenery is just fabulous. Definitely recommend.

I love this park, its a great place to take the children to burn off some of that energy.

Beautiful park lots of shade and tables and areas of play for kids. Bathroom was clean and maintained. Didnt see all of the park but the section we were in was delightful . Truly a hidden gem

Beautiful park, lots of areas to explore! Theres a Waterpark, a play area with a sprinkler for the kids, soccer fields, a volleyball sand court, lots of picnic shelters, a big snack area with tables and umbrellas, nice bathrooms, a lake, a 18-hole disc golf course, really nice walking paths and bike paths, etc... we didnt have time to even see everything. We loved it and will definitely be back sometime.

Great trails for walking, hiking, or leisurely bike rides. Challenging disc golf course through the woods. Also, they have nice playgrounds and amenities. The new dog park is now open as well and is pretty impressive.

Specifically went for the new dog park. Very, very nice. They hit a home run. Very spacious, and shade trees that you can get under. Also a fountain area for the dogs.

Very clean and maintained park. Nice paved and unpaved trails, picnic tables, play areas, etc. You can also rent some water items as well (kayaks, boats).

Would like to have friendlier staff. When i tried to ask a question they cut me off and answered before i could get the main part of the question out. Also would like to know why my nationwide pass doesnt work on a county park...its NATIONWIDE...

Nice little piece of nature. Adequate spots to fish from, but have only caught 1 large mouth bass in 6-10 times going there

They built an entirely new dog park which has a splash pad AND a dog cleaning and dry station!! It was amazing, I recommend this dog park 10/10!!!

Love coming here!! Fantastic park for kids of all ages. Hiking/walking/biking trails and a story book along one of them. There is a splash pad for the kids and even a dog park!

They built a new dog park area, it was amazing, clean so far. Hopefully the people who dont pick up behind their will go to the old muddy one .

Great dog park. Plenty of parking. Lots of open fields. Multiple playgrounds for different aged kids. Lots of paved and unpaved trails. Great park.

We had an absolute blast!! I wish we had one of these parks in TN. The adults and kids enjoyed lying in/ playing in the water and splash pad area. The kids had a big time playing in the neighboring park area. Not too crowded, reasonably priced and clean. No complaints. Would highly recommend.

Love to walk the trails. They are easy to maneuver through.

Very nice. Not crowded and a great place to walk. Very clean and well maintained. Gold membership is the only way to go for the county Park system.

Even though it was $2 a person to get in, allowing my dog, for the first time, run around with others was great. HUGE open area for the dogs to run! Drinking stations for the dogs to drink too.

Great new dog park..long awaited and needed! Hope it is kept up well and monitored more often

Love the trails. The only place in town good for running trails.

The new dog park is awesome! Yappy hour was a ton of fun for our dogs and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Had a great time it was the last day of the Season we went on Labor Day but it was not overcrowded so safe distancing was easy we had a very good time and a beautiful day

I absolutely enjoy this park. The splash pad is wonderful for the younger kids. There is so much to do here including taking a little canoe ride. Its really a great fee family park. The bathrooms are also pretty clean. There is a $2 entrance fee for older kids and adults.

Its a smaller park, but we enjoy it everytime we go.

Excellent way to spend the day! Theres a dog park, sprinklers for the kids to play in, bike rentals paddle boat rentals, walking trails, to playgrounds and more than I can even remember. I can spend the whole day here for just $2 at the gate or you can buy a park past on the Charleston county Parks and recreation website. $20 park pass for a year, its so worth the money.

We really enjoyed the walking trails and the big hill. Bring big spray, the chiggers (red bugs) are silently active.

Always enjoy coming to this park. Great walking trails and plenty of places to chill. People letting their dogs roam off-leash or on comically long leashes can be a hazard.

So much to do here and the county keeps it very clean and running smoothly. Entrance fee is very cheap and to rent things is also cheap. We did the kayaking and the sprinkler. All that consumed 4 hours at the cost under $10. Cant be that. And we didnt even do the whole park. Definitely a lot more to do. If youre gonna be here often, definitely get the year pass.

Playground and bicycle paths were the best in the area.

Excellent park to visit in North Charleston. Theres so many trails and paths to enjoy that you and your family could spend the whole day walking! Excellent to relax, bring the kids, puppies, walk with love ones etc. They are creating a new dog park and there is a water park that is open during summer. Highly recommended if you live or visiting SC.

Took gkids. Stuff for lil kid. Convenient to everyone in area. NO CROWD. NO SAND. Not cheap.Hint: Water shoes really helpful.

Great place for a Wedding. Beautiful scenery.

It was very nice, we bought my 2 year old grandson and he had a great time.

Serenity & tranquility is found here

Well maintained park with nice trails, pavilions and dog park for only $2

Best water park in Charleston County. A lot of fun for the kids!

Good park has a water park but you have to pay to get in the park and its by person not car then you have to pay to go to the park then you have to pay to get in the water park. They have multiple lakes and rivers but you can not swim in them.

This park is very beautiful and the workers are nice. My boyfriend and I went on a picnic near the lake then went kayaking. This is a family friendly park with sprinklers and a lot of walking/bike trails. There are a lot of trees with shade, perfect for a picnic. There was a park police officer riding around the park on his bike which made it feel very safe. Its calm and quiet. I highly recommend it here. Dont hesitate!

Cheap, clean, accessible. What else do you want in a park?

Well maintained, easy access, lots of amenities & beautiful shaded paved walkways.

We went to the water park but Ive loved Wanamaker since I was a kid. My kids love to play there as well.

Terrific park. Nice trails and a long paved sidewalk through the woods. Ample parking and good clean facilities. Staff super helpful and well visible on golf carts throughout the park. New dog park being constructed with dog washing, facilities and lots of room to run!

I come here often. Fun place tho i think there should be more security here as sometimes kids are left unattended and can cause problems with other kids and no parents or any security/staff to complain to. (Tho this is rare). I think the bathrooms could be better and they should have better vending machines. I would recommend coming here for a birthday or picnic etc...

Very clean dog, bike, family friendly

Great place to go to and have a picnic or to play pick soccer or volleyball.

Adequate facilities and staff that provide exceptional service everytime I visit this place.

Great Park for kids and dogs. We especially like the different play areas for different ages of children and how close they are to the public bathrooms. Our kids also loved running up and rolling down the big hill. Definitely worth $2 adult admission for a day of fun

It’s a simple park with lots for the kids to do. Two playgrounds, water fountain play area and wide open fields. It’s has a great dog park for the fur babies. And some well maintained paved trails.

Only went to the dog park, its a nice area for the dogs. I would recommend they replace the buckets for the dogs drinking water, so they dont get sick. There was a ton of dog poop toward the back of the park. People should watch there dogs and clean up after them, not just socialize. Overall, its a nice dog park.

We really enjoy coming to Wanamaker especially for the dog park. We love the fact that the dog park is huge, theres a great area for a dog to run around and interact with other dogs. Are toddler also love the park, and on warm days the splash pad is fantastic albeit sometimes a bit crowded. The only reason they lose a star, is because the grass is so tore up at the dock part that it gets very muddy after rain. Not sure if it can really be help since theres dogs running around there constantly, but a nicer area would take it to five stars.

Had a wonderful time with my 3 grandsons de andre 2 bday

Love this park and miss it now that we live further out. I would like to see another playground on the other side of the park. I like the splash pad and all the picnic tables.

Girl in the front was awesome. I didnt get her name

Beautiful park with a water park inside for the kids i will diffinetly will be back to visit

Great park for families and kids.

Always great to visit, my daughter loves the park

Phenomenal walking trail. The kids had a great time!

Nice, open fielded park with lots of places to reconnect with nature.

Of all the county parks, this is one of our favorites. We bring our dogs here to walk the trails all the time. We even purchased the gold pass with how much we come here. We have never had an event here but it seems there are also people doing something here. We even witness a wedding once. The only down aspect is the have copper head snakes, so be very careful on the trails.

We had a very nice time! The $2 per person was a little unexpected, but great time overall! I guess I could say it was well worth it! Celebrated my younger daughters 11th birthday there today! Fun times!!!

Love this place. There is a dog park, childrens play fountain (summer time), snack bar, playground, frisbee golf, paddle boats, and several trails. The main trail is paved and then there are several unpaved trails. Unpaved trails might be good for mountain bikes. I have a pass for Charleston county parks, otherwise its $2 entry. You can also rent space for parties. I have seen several weddings set up in the shelter area, inflatable bounce houses, and full sized bbq smokers. The water park is in the same area but separate from Wannamaker.

Excellent location for picnics and play!

A wonderful place to live and work.

Great place to walk around and enjoy nauture. With allot of shade so you can avoid being scolded by that unforgiving sun!!

This is our favorite park. The playground is large with areas for big kids and little kids. The walking path is hardly ever busy and there is no competition with motor traffic. Most of the park is shady all day. All amenities are easily accessible from the parking lot. The splash pad is fun for the little kids though I wish there was more shade for spectators in that area. The weekends can be really busy at the park but were usually there weekday mornings and often have the place to ourselves.

The playground is in the shade with a great variety for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary!

You would have a lot of fun and go on a lot of slides and get soak and wet

Perfect sunny day! Park is very well maintained

What a fun, family-friendly park. We had been to Whirling Waters numerous times. However, this was the first time we went in the county park part. It is very lovely. And it has a newer concessions stand and facilities in the park center. It has a good playground, but the equipment could be updated more like James Island. The best part is that it is completely covered in shade. There is also a splash fountain area for children. We loved the trails and the peddle boats. We counted 8 turtles while we peddled. There are lots of picnic areas for rent or free. We will go back.

Came to the park at 3:25 (closes 5:45) to rent a 4 seat paddleboat for an hour or so. Stood in line to get aforementioned paddle boat just to be told the rentals stop at 4:00. No where on the website or on the sign posted at the rental area says anything like that, I was told the sign is outdated and was refused the rental. Seemed to me the kid working the counter didn’t want to do his job Won’t spend my money here again.

Great walking trail. Love taking my dog here she loves the short grass. We bought a season pass which was pretty dang expensive but also totally worth it since it is the nicest park around.

We came for a birthday party inside the park. Great area for the kids to run around and explore. They have a food vendor on site. There are paddle boats and kayaks available for rent as well as bicycles. All the areas are well maintained including the bath rooms. Great site for parties or exercise.

Love this park I really do the kids have a blast the dog has a blast however it seems that everywhere we went someone was smoking .

Nice relaxing atmosphere! Nice park, big open fields, nice venues and shelter areas.Theres a dollar fee person to get inside but thats no worries the park is great for kids and adults.

A very beautiful park with great trails

Beautiful, plus very pleasant for entire familia

Love walking my dog in this park. More maps would be helpful.

I love this park. So many activities to do. The dog park, the sprinklers, the playground, so much fun. Birthday parties are always a hit when we have them here. Plenty of room for the kids to play.

Update: over 2 hours in this parking lot! Come on!1) the alert online is not updated2) to help with the incredibly stupid traffic jam, why not open a concession stand with a shelter top out in the parking lot so people can hang out till traffic clears. Yall should be able to make up $$ in those concessions. Just move your employees and food on a cart over to a temporary limited items.Just sitting in a congested parking lot with kids is stupid!

Nothing fancy, but a nice park to relax in or just to get outside and enjoy nature

I absolutely love taking my kids here! In the summer they can enjoy the splash pad, and in the fall and winter we enjoy the playground and the trails!

This was a beautiful park with lots to do. We went in the off season so not all amenities available. Still very nice, good walking trails and a tranquil lagoon to sit and enjoy the water

Best dog park around!

We rented the cottonwood covered shelter for my daughters wedding / reception had a wonderful time plenty of room for all of our family and friends comes with horseshoe pit and volleyball net and supplies.

Beautiful Trails to walk with your honey and pup Wish they had some more water fountains around and if they could include fountains for the doggies.

Love the dog park!

Great place for you child to explore. There are 2 playground areas designed for different ages. Lots to do for your little ones and bigger ones.

Well maintained, lots of great areas for play and tons of walking/biking trails. Some are paved, some are not. Lengths vary. Plenty of picnic tables and shelters. Have to pay to get in. Dont forget the bug spray! Mosquitoes are pretty abundant!

Lots of great trails for pups to walk on.

Beautiful walking trail... loved our visit here.

The kids and I had a blast!

Spent a lovely morning at the playground with my 17 month old and the hubby, pup, and baby got to burn some energy at the dog park. A two for one trip!

Kids loved it. The waterslide pool trails river jungle gym they really liked it and wasnt a crazy high price that only some can afford.

This place was great, nice trails paved and unpaved, paddle boats, kayaks, and bikes for rent.. affordable sprinklers, (splash pad) plenty of parking, friendly staff, and of course an awesome waterpark

We had my grandchildren 1 and 2 years old, and another 2 year old. The play areas were large with scattered groups of climbing equipment. They loved it and the activity wore them out! We brought our own picnic style food and enjoyed eating outdoors. There are many tables. After lunch we strolled one of the paved paths. All of us, from the youngest to elder selves, had a great time !

We came through here for work. The people are so friendly and the neighborhood is just stunning. We love driving through for work and getting to know the real people of the Charleston area.

Not many people there. Going back tomorrow for a tramp in the woods.

Great place for the WHOLE FAMILY!
