Brittlebank Park, a 10-acre park on the edge of the Ashley River, is popular with families, fishermen, and attendees of concerts and festivals. The park features trails, paved pathways, a playground, benches, picnic tables, and a fishing pier with a boat dock. The park also has a long narrow stretch of marshlands, which is home to birds and hundreds of native wildflower and plant species. An off-leash area for dogs is available at the north end of the park. The park is open from sunrise to sunset and free parking is available.

Every Wednesday, starting at 6 p.m., the Lowcountry stargazers host their weekly Astronomy in the Park event at Brittlebank Park, weather permitting. Everyone from adults to little kids at all astronomical experience levels are invited to observe the night sky. Stargazers can see Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the moon, and maybe even some globular clusters and galaxies. “It's just another way to appreciate nature and appreciate what’s around us,” says Jim Hoffman, president of the Lowcountry Stargazers.
