East Bay Dog Park — Attraction in Charleston

Right up there with Wanamaker for my dogs fave park. There is a good fenced in area thats off leash with water and bags/ trash can and double gated entrances. Free parking on adjacent streets for up to 2 hours. Larger grassed fenced area with leash restrictions due to a baseball diamond I presume. Crowd/ dogs rotate in/out on about a 20-30 min cycle which keeps the dogs excited. People and dog’s alike are super friendly and respectful. Plus it’s a great starting point for walking around the area...

Leash required after 9am until 6pm so big bummer there. It doubles as a ballpark for kids and has a toddler playground too. Lots of space, water fountain for dogs, squirrel population for entertaining smells, but dogs can’t run free during the day, which is a huge downer in my book. Parking - meters charge $2/hour and takes credit or quarters/dimes (didn’t try nickels)

My dog was far more interested in walking along the boardwalk by the water; parking works...

This is a great place to take your dog. It has a separate space for large and small breed dogs. Water is available. And there is a great walking trail leading to the waterfront Park. It's right at rainbow row, the pineapple fountain and two docks for walking out to the harbor. I love it there. If you're in the French quarter and need a great place to take your dog with great scenery and attractions within a block I highly recommend the East...
