Hilton Head County Park

Cool park for the kids! splash pad and 2 different playgrounds. Bathrooms are a nightmare! Go before you come!

The water park is perfect for young children! The playgrounds are nice, however I wish the sand was clean without the chunks of tires. There is a huge grassy field and picnic areas which are nice. There’s not much natural or even mam made shade so come prepared with an umbrella or at least plenty of sunscreen.

I go here with a couple of girlfriends to workout every spring on most Saturday mornings. We bring the kiddos and they play while we workout ! It’s fun for the kids and close to my girlfriends house so pretty convenient to us my only problem is they don’t take care of grass. I wish someone would set up more routine upkeep as the dried out grass can be prickly on the kids feet and hands when they’re playing in it and it’s itchy too. I really like the water fountains though since the kids run through them it’s like a little mini water park for them without the expensive cost. so I raise my rating from a three to a four but wish they’d do something about that grass and empty the trash cans more regularly since they charge for the playground access

The HOT summer days have passed and now it’s «Fall» but the mornings and evenings feel like winter to us San Diegans. We picked a beautiful Wednesday November afternoon to finally visit. After accomplishing some early holiday shopping across the street, my son still had some energy left so I thought hey, we are right here why not go to the park. As we pulled up to the parking lot I noticed only a few cars were there and I parked right in front.
This park is huge. There is a lot of space for the children to run and play on the grass. The tot park is the best I’ve seen. There’s two giant play structures filled with different sized slides, tunnels, stairs, climbing gyms, games, tic tac toe, music keys, pirate ship fun, different levels or floors, all on sand and padded for safety.
There’s a small swing set with two bucket seats and two regular seats. My son was all smiles on the swing and it sure filled up fast.
The Hilton Head water park is a very small splash pad but it was turned off since it’s only open during the spring and summer months. I noticed no shade or trees around.
It’s a very family oriented park. I noticed lots of parents, caregivers, kids, dogs, and some elderly just reading books on the benches. It’s very peaceful here mid week.
The view is spectacular with the mountains in the background and the cute little creek bridges, boulders, and grass for days. The cabana covered picnic benches and tables are a convenient spot next to the restrooms to host a party or a picnic.
Paved cement pathways run around the park so you can easily bring a stroller, wheelchair, dogs, etc and go for a nice stroll straight from your vehicle.
You know it’s a fun place when your child screams and doesn’t want to leave. Haha. I’m sure it’s a different story on the weekends here meaning… crowded. I definitely recommend coming here.

This little park is great because there is plenty of grass space and a water park which is very helpful in East County.
Drawbacks:
–Small parking lot.
–Not a lot of trees or shade ***bring your own****
–not a lot of benches or pavilions or seating ****bring your own****
Perks:
–a little ice cream truck comes on the weekends and parks in the little lot
–the water park
–large open space
–hidden in neighborhood
–close to Albertson’s, Kohls and other restaurants
–new innovative recirculating water treatment system provides broad-​spectrum, bacteria-​killing chlorinated and ultraviolet disinfection (taken from
)
–restrooms are nice and they have a family one too
The only reason I took off a point was for the parking situation, otherwise, it’s a homerun!

Parking sucks on the weekends! And if you want a gazeebo you better be there early. But theres plenty of room for pop up shelters etc. Definately not enough swings! Parking is pretty brutal as well. Its a mini water park in the summer as well.

This park is great, but super hot in the summer. The water park is cooling, but I wish they’d put up some shade.
If ur throwing a party, make sure u arrive early if want a gazebo. Especially in the spring/​summer months.

Great park, the facilities are great, I come here alot to play basketball. Beware though the park gets packed on Sunday so it makes it kinda hard to find parking, but ive only had to park on the street once.

Nice Park! Took my grandkids to play for the day. Splash Area, basketball court, baseball diamond, two playground areas. Not much shade. would bring a small pop up. Please pay the $ 3.00 for your child to play in the splash area. It is a small amount to help maintain the park. Most children did not have the required wrist bands that you should purchase at the front of the bathroom building. Such a nice park it is shame people don’t respect what it takes to maintain it.

Awesome, beautiful park. Two playgrounds, tons of open grass area, basketball courts, a baseball field, water spouts, and picnic tables. It has a pretty good-​sized parking lot, too. It’s open from 7:30 A.M. to sunset, and there is no alcohol allowed. I went for a 6 year old’s birthday party and it was a perfect place to have the event. It seems like a really safe neighborhood, too.
The one drawback: the bathrooms are disgusting. Trust me, you want to GO before you go.

Lots of grass, lots of space, not a lot of shade so come prepared, water feature for the summer is fantastic, kids love this place. I also love that alcohol and smoking are not allowed making this very family friendly.

This park is beautiful and well maintained. It is almost always packed with people. The park is dog friendly and supplies free dog bags for waste pick-​up, so please do not leave your dogs poop on the ground, it’s just gross. There is a baseball field with a big field behind it just in case you can actually hit the ball, it also has a fence behind the batters plate so ball wont get hit into the street. This park also has a basketball court, which is two half courts back to back.
There is a nice kids play ground with a big jungle gym on it. It also has a little water park so your kids will be wore out before you go home so they will sleep all day. As far as the grown ups go, it has a beautiful scenery and a great walking path going around and threw the park. I believe it is about .75 miles all the way around according to the Iphone app. nike plus.
The park opens at 7am and closes at sunset which is nice if you want to watch the sunset fall behind the mountains in the background. But like i said if you want to keep this park nice pick up after your dogs please.

Love this park! I live in la Mesa and it’s worth the 15 minute drive and the search for parking. My son is one so he like the little water spouts. Can keep him entertained fir hours. Park is clean with very few shaded areas. Tons of kids so expect some kids pushing yours. Gave park is San Diego so far :)

Sunday Fun-​day was Family Reunion/​BBQ ! It was super duper cold, but the sun was out so why not grill up the Asada’s and Ribs.
We had the main Gazebo, thanks to cousin Seabass hanging out from 7am to 2pm, Was to start at 1pm, but All of us we’re on Mexican time!
The park itself is huge, and pretty awesome for the kiddos! Its a nautical themed playground area, thought that was cute! They also have a basket ball court for the kids, too! The layout is well designed and its a pretty huge park. Sprawled out land, and its kept up well, Very clean!
Parking does kinda suck! But its a nice place to have a party or mini family reunion, as we did! Just hide your booze and do the piñata super fast and clean it up!

This park opened in 2009 (I think), and is a total gem! It’s worth it to head out here, even though hot doesn’t begin to describe East County.
The kids are ecstatic in the water, getting completely soaked — I can’t believe it’s free! Seriously, I have that thought every single time I go. Mostly this happens when my kids run up to me after just having sprinted through a spigot, their arms wildly flapping, an ear-​to-​ear grin and screaming for utter joy. «This is free?» Yea, it is!
There’s a pirate ship climbing structure next to the water features, and next to that is a 3-​story structure with a number of twisty slides. Some swings & a tire swing round out this park. The team that dreamed up this park were real children at heart!
There’s a bathroom and one of those blue-​roofed shade structures with a ring of tables underneath it. It’s first come/​first serve and I can see it becoming pretty tough to find a spot here as time goes on and the word spreads about this park.
Here’s a list of what I think are required items when visiting this park:
— sunscreen (that you apply before you get to the park, because there’s NO time for it to soak into the skin before the kids are dripping!)
— Umbrella or some sort of shade structure
— hats
— blanket for sitting on
— towels, bring extra towels!
— swimsuits
— snacks for everyone
— a book for you to read (or something for you to do while your kids are occupied)
— water shoes, if you can. The ground can be a bit slippery, and the funky recycled tennis shoe ground cover that the pirate ship is in can get pretty toasty on hotter days.
It’s important to note that the water is on 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. daily during the warm months. It is off all-​together from November — April.
