Mount Pleasant to celebrate opening of expanded Memorial Waterfront Park

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – The Town of Mount Pleasant will officially celebrate the opening of a long-awaited park expansion.

While the new Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park officially opened to the public on June 4, an event to celebrate the milestone was cancelled due to the threat of severe weather. It was rescheduled for Tuesday morning.

The expanded park, located under the Ravenel Bridge at 99 Harry M. Hallman Jr. Blvd., features a splash pad, pickleball and basketball courts, shaded dog parks, a fitness area, and new playground space.

Tuesday’s celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, summer-themed giveaways, free snow cones, pickleball, basketball events, and a demonstration at the new outdoor fitness area.

There will also be family-friendly activities and special guests like the Charleston Animal Society and Just Bee.

The grand opening happens from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m.
