Charleston County parks are day-use only, generally open 8 a.m. to sunset, with beach and waterpark facilities on seasonal hours. Being in a county park after posted closing time is prohibited under the Park & Recreation Commission's rules.
The Charleston County Park & Recreation Commission (CCPRC) operates the county park system and sets uniform Agency Rules and Regulations for all parks and facilities. General county parks are day-use only, typically open from 8 a.m. to sunset, and are closed after posted hours; entering or remaining after closing is prohibited. Gated beach parks such as Isle of Palms County Park run seasonal hours (for example 9 a.m.-8 p.m. in peak summer, 10 a.m. to sunset in winter), with the gate closing to incoming traffic 30 minutes before closing. Park rules also prohibit fireworks, drones, glass, and alcohol except in designated permitted areas, and require pets to be leashed. Municipal parks inside the cities are governed by that city's own
Remaining in a park after hours or violating agency rules can result in ejection, trespass enforcement, and citation by park rangers or law enforcement under CCPRC Agency Rules and Regulations.
