The Town of James Island offers residents and visitors public access to its parks along with some of the most beautiful scenery you will see on the Island.
Brantley Park is a joint effort between the Town of James Island and the City of Charleston. The half-acre park is at the corner of Folly Road and Brantley Drive and includes majestic grand oak trees, a dock at the end of a small creek, and beautiful marsh views towards Ellis Creek.

In August of 2015, the Town purchased Pinckney Park, 7 acres at the end of Fort Johnson Road and has since undergone numerous improvements including a pavilion, benches, playground, and various wildflower plantings.

The Town's latest park addition was made possible by Greenbelt funding. Mill Point Park is a 6.6-acre property, which opened to the public in April 2025 and is located at 1259 Mill Point Road off of Sea Aire Drive.

The Town also participates in the Youth Sports Program managed by the City of Charleston. This is a partnership with the City of Charleston Recreation Department where youth sports are provided to our residents at the reduced City of Charleston resident rate. The Town pays the difference for you. This only applies to youth sports which are offered 3 times during the year for children ages 4-17. This partnership is modeled after the successful program that is offered by the City of Charleston and St. Andrews Parks and Playgrounds in the West Ashley area.
For more information on this program or how it works, please call Town Hall at (843) 795.4141.
