Awesome private dog park. My dogs LOVE coming here and we enjoy relaxing in the hammocks. The hosts have thought of EVERYTHING to make it a perfect visit; hand sanitizer, bug spray, water for humans and dogs, paw cleaner, toys, fan, charging station, hammocks, and more!

Update: It has been a while since I’ve been to this park. During my recovery period after surviving several ischemic strokes this park was my safe place. I have most of my CPTSD self therapy here at in the middle of the night every night. I felt safe because of all the security cameras around the area. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am so happy that The City of Goose Creek built this Central Creek Park and it was possible by the donations of: Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Hone Telecom, Goose Creek Heating and Air, The County Berkeley South Carolina, Boeing, BEC, Trident Construction and Goose Creek Recreation Commission. I would like to ask all residents and visitors of this beautiful place that has been built for us to please collaborate and keep up with the maintenance. We all have free access to this amazing park. I personally enjoy walking around the beautiful nature that surrounds it while walking, I enjoy seeing people playing and having fun. For me this is a safe place while I am recovering from several chronic brain infections. I don’t have small children, or grandchildren to bring them here to play and enjoy the Early Childhood Playground. What a blessing for our young children to have such wonderful playground when they can play different types of games while learning. We are a strong community please let help with the maintenance. Pick up after yourself. PLEASE DO NOT LITTER! BE RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS. Treat the park the same way you treat your own house and keep it clean like your own yard. We all can collaborate by place our trash in the garage bins that are placed around the park. It’s is an embarrassment to see how much trash players left at the basketball court every day. There are three trash bins around the basketball court and around the park. Please be respectful of others by taking a moment of your precious time to discard your trash. Let’s teach our children that we are better and we care about our communities. Thank you to all employees who worked hard in keeping Central Creek Park safe and beautiful. A special thanks to Crystal!

Good splash pad. There are plenty of features to distract kids and keep them busy. Well sized playground with good shading over the playground. Lots of parking. Now for the negatives. There is only one picnic table (fail). No decent sesting/shading around the splashpad for adults watching their kids(fail). Thats really it. Engineers and architects need to get out from behind a computer screen and take their kids to playgrounds and splashpads to get some real world experience. This is basic commodety things that could have earned this splashpad a 5 star rating. Failure on architect part.

Been going here for several months now and they are THE BEST!! My 1 year old pup absolutely loves this place. I always feel confident that he is getting lots of play time and care. When I pick my pup up, he is always so happy and also gets the best sleep because he had so much fun at Hugo and Friends. We have done short and long trips and never consider anywhere but here for boarding!
