WPAL / Stono Station Park

The City of Charleston is working with nearby residents, political leaders, and other stakeholders to establish a simple design concept for a public park at the end of Wappoo Road. The design vision below has been established by a Stakeholder Advisory Committee.

Stakeholder Design Vision

The stakeholder approved vision for the site involves a simple walkway, very small parking area, and improvements and expansion of the boardwalk. Additional ideas for the site include a kayak launch and some areas to access the shore. Stakeholders agree the site should be passive, calm, quiet, and simple. You can download the stakeholder vision presentation by Design Division here.

New boardwalk, kayak launch, and informational signage.

If the boardwalk is expanded, it might be done in two phases.

Public Meeting

A public meeting was held on February 28, 2019. Feedback was collected through a dot exercise and written comments. Since the meeting, a Selection Committee has been formed through Capitol Projects to review proposals.
