What locals are saying
Children's Park on Daniel Island earns its local following on the strength of a genuinely clever premise: the playground is laid out in the shape and scale of the greater Charleston area, complete with a map legend, actual water channels standing in for the Cooper and Wando rivers, and a live oak standing proxy for the Angel Oak on Johns Island. Climbable turtles and wooden boats dot the 'coastline,' and the spray fountains alongside the Wando waterfront extend the appeal well past the under-five crowd. A boardwalk leads across to a dock with sailboat views — it's a rare playground that earns lingering.
