This park is located next to the James Island Yacht Club. It was formerly known as “Sunrise Park”, and it offers some spectacular views of Charleston Harbor and the Arthur Ravenel Bridge. This park does not cover a large area of land, but the variety of scenery here is incredible. Many people bring their dogs here to walk.
