Looking for a free place to take a family? Check out the Pitt Street Bridge in Mt. Pleasant. It’s peaceful and beautiful setting will make it a family favorite.

What used to be the old bridge that connected Mt. Pleasant to Sullivan’s Island is now a pet and family-friendly park that’s growing in popularity. On any given day, you’ll find people jogging, playing sports and bicycling through the area. There are plenty of grassy areas perfect for picnics and play dates. You’ll even find people crabbing and fishing off the walking bridges and small piers.

The Charleston area is filled with beautiful parks and breathtaking scenery, but this park definitely tops the list. It’s one of the best spots to watch the sunset, have a photo shoot, spend a lazy Saturday and let the kids roam.
