east bay park in georgetown
East Bay Park in Georgetown is a wide open green space that lines the shores of the Great Pee Dee River. If you’re on a day trip to Georgetown then it’s where you want to go when the kids need a chance to stretch their legs. The historic district is just a few blocks away and the serene Morgan Park is also very nearby.
The park features tennis courts, a disc golf course, a dog park, a walking trail, and a few workout stations. There is also a covered picnic area and a few charcoal grills.
playground features
The playground was remodeled in early 2025 and the new structures are so good! The ground cover also got a big upgrade from sand to a rubberized surface.
There is one main structure with slides and simple climbing options. There is another large climbing structure for older children. The playground also has several additional elements –– seesaw, a merry-go-round, balance features, and several smaller sensory features. The covered picnic tables and a bleacher section with some shade is nearby to help keep visibility on kids.
The swing area is also a bit far away from the play structure. It is in complete sun so this area will get hot but the new rubberized ground cover helps this area tremendously.
There is a portable potty across the parking lot and for a park this size it’s a little surprising that there isn’t a permanent restroom.
area info & what else to do in georgetown
There is a cute Little Library house at the park which is regularly maintained (we were there when a volunteer was trading books out one day). And the area of the park is just beautiful. The surrounding houses lend a bit of a Charleston vibe and you can appreciate that this is a place with a deep and rich history.
This is a great stop on a day trip to Georgetown or on a drive back up from Charleston!
Purr & Pour Cat Cafe is a great kid-friendly option. They accept reservations online but will sometimes also have space for walk-ins.
