Gregg Russell Harbour Town Playground — Attraction in Hilton Head Island

I remember visiting this playground as a child and loving the beautiful trees with low limbs, perfect for climbing. We visited the playground recently with our 10 month old son, and it is better than ever.

The low-limbed trees are still healthy and full of kids. A tree house has been added so that children can climb in a larger tree and look out over the part. The playground has been updated with a new slide that resembles a tree-trunk, a realistic life-size stone alligator and tortoise (perfect for photos), a teeter-totter, rope obstacle, and swings (both big kid and toddler on opposite sides of the playground).

Our son had fun playing in the sand around the alligator and holding on/walking around the alligator. It was the perfect height for him to play with safely.

This is a great playground with a ton of space so that it will not feel overcrowded with 30+ kids playing.

The parking lot can fill up quickly on weekends, but there is plenty of space for bikes to park on the gravel next to...

A wonderful playground with multiple play areas for different ages, they even have a tree house. When we went it was extremely crowded, with many older kids playing on structures that were designed for toddler and preschool aged children. It seemed as if some parents used the playground as a babysitter while they shopped, especially with the older children. One boy in particular, probably ten or so, was climbing on the exterior of the largest play structure, probably 15-20 ft tall.

I don't discredit the park for this, as the structures themselves are nice, but just something to be aware of, especially if you have younger children that can be ran over by the larger kids running around.

The playground is covered in sand, as opposed to mulch, so be sure to bring extra socks, or...

Age 4 and 5 were intrigued, but done with playground after an hour and a half. Nicely shaded with beautiful Oak trees, but few and uncomfortable benches for grown-ups. Lots of sand to fill your shoes. Woodland themed, neutrals, some insta features if you still do that. There are restrooms across from the park, in the center of Harbor Town. To go to this playground, you must pay the gate fee for Sea Pines Resort- for us it was cash only at 9$ in June 2023. Definitely not worth paying for if that's all you planned to do, but we promised our kids that we would climb a lighthouse which is a 5 minute walk away. Not the best playground we've been to, but not the worst. If it didn't have a gate fee, I'd...
