Word on the street
What locals are saying
McMahon Playground anchors the Cleveland Street entrance to Hampton Park in Wagener Terrace — a city-run facility formally named in 1999 for Genevieve Kanapaux McMahon, who spent nearly two decades as the neighborhood's playground supervisor. A 2015 Charleston Parks Conservancy renovation put $100,000 into new equipment, extensive landscaping, and flower gardens, lifting it well above the average municipal playground. Beyond the swings and basketball court, the city runs free on-site programming — music lessons twice a week and fitness classes on weekdays — giving it the feel of a genuine community hub rather than just a drop-off spot.
