Mount Pleasant’s Newest MoveStrong Fitness Park is Open—and It’s a Game Changer

What do you get when you combine a scenic waterfront, cutting-edge workout equipment, and a community that knows how to move? The brand-new MoveStrong Fitness Park at Memorial Waterfront Park Phase III—and trust us, it was worth the wait.

Just under the iconic Ravenel Bridge, what used to be a simple dirt lot is now a hub for outdoor fun, wellness, and connection. The town of Mount Pleasant has officially unveiled its latest outdoor gem, a vibrant expansion designed for all ages and fitness levels to enjoy.

 

The Heart of the Expansion: MoveStrong FitGround

Spanning 3,500 square feet, the MoveStrong FitGround is not your average workout zone. It’s a high-energy outdoor gym featuring stations for functional fitness, obstacle challenges, and strength training—all set against the stunning waterfront backdrop. From tire flips and plyo steps to parallel bars and the innovative T-Rex station, this space offers endless ways to get moving. Whether you're training for performance or just trying to stay active, there's something here for everyone.

The completion of the FitGround marks the end of a two-year journey of planning, design, and construction. Through close collaboration between town officials, architects, parks and recreation staff, and MoveStrong, the vision for this dynamic outdoor fitness space has become a reality. What began as a concept is now a fully realized addition to Memorial Waterfront Park—ready for the community to enjoy.

 

A Grand Opening to Remember

On opening day, families and fitness lovers gathered to celebrate with live music, giveaways, fun games, and even free Kona Ice. Partners like Charleston Animal Society, Just Bee, and MoveStrong brought extra flair, while Town officials and project partners like Hill Construction, LCK, JLA, and SCDOT were recognized for their dedication and support.
