The location is hazardous for one's health. See towers nearby. The sand is fun for dogs, but a bath is recommended to prevent ticks' bites. My dog is used to grass, so she wasn't interested in leaving her scent there 🐕. Walking distance to the beach!

It’s small, but it’s fairly new and located in the middle of a neighborhood on Folly Beach. Parking is available but extremely limited. It is sand so be prepared for that to go in your car when you leave. They have a water area for the dogs, several benches and picnic tables.

Yikes not sure how this place has gotten such rave reviews. This dog park is tiny! It felt so very cliquey, like a neighborhood block party. Upon arrival about 6 or 7 dogs (2-3 barking) were anxiously awaiting me and my pup’s arrival through the gate. Which sounds sweet and all, and it is, but all of the owners were at the other end of the park not paying attention and gossiping or what have you, and all of the dogs jumped all over us and the gate before we could get our bodies inside. No owners seemed to notice or care, and they certainly didn’t stop their dogs! There was a large friendly but energetic and socially awkward pit bull who did not take a hint that my dog wasn’t particular interested in playing with him and he would let my dog out of his site or space. . . Owner seemed to think my dog was the problem. Anyway, this place was a nightmare!! The owners who apparently dominate the place literally have no clue about dog park etiquette, coming from someone who has visited 100s of dog parks around the country. Neither me nor my dog is perfect, but I think the owners need to get out of their neighborhood bubble and read up on typical dog park etiquette.
