Forest Park

What You'll Find Here

Found in West Ashley, Forest Park offers a breath of fresh air for Charleston locals and visitors alike. This community park has a bit of everything for those looking to stay active or simply enjoy some outdoor time.

You'll discover two tennis courts ready for your next match, a pair of full-sized basketball courts well-suited for pickup games, and a baseball/softball field that's ideal for weekend league play or casual practice sessions.

A Space for Everyone

What really makes Forest Park special is the Joe Griffith Miracle Field, part of The Charleston Miracle League. This thoughtfully designed field creates a place where children with disabilities can experience the joy of baseball - truly making recreation accessible to all members of the community.

More Than Outdoor Fun

The park goes beyond outdoor facilities with its indoor playground building - a lifesaver during those scorching South Carolina summer days or surprise rain showers. The building is staffed during specific hours, and you can always call ahead if you're planning a visit.

Need a refreshing dip? The WL Stephens Aquatic Center within the park stays open year-round, giving you a great place to cool off or get some laps in regardless of the season. Restrooms are typically available whenever staff is present.

Planning an Event?

If you're thinking about hosting a gathering at Forest Park, the Charleston Recreation department manages all facility rentals. They can help you reserve the space that best fits your needs.
