Harbour Town Playground

As a kid of the 80s and 90s, I grew up playing on the the playground at Harbour Town with my siblings, cousins, and friends. I remember the swings, slides, monkey bars, sand, and the giant oak trees. This year, we introduced a new generation to the playground at Harbour Town: my 18-​month-​old niece! Even though all the other kids were bigger, she still had a blast. Technically, the playground is designed for children ages 3 to 12.
The Harbour Town playground has changed considerably since the time I played on it. It’s so much bigger and better. It also has an official name, the «Gregg Russell Harbour Town Playground.» Anybody who grew up visiting Harbour Town knows who Gregg Russell is. He’s been entertaining and singing to children at Harbour Town for over 30 years and is still going strong.
The playground is located next to the main (free) parking lot at Harbour Town. It’s hard to miss. It’s incredibly popular and for good reason. There’s a lot of fun stuff to play on and plenty of space to run around. The playground is enclosed with a short wooden fence, which is easy for adults to walk over. In addition to the adjacent parking lot, the playground also has many places to park your bike, making a bicycle trip to the Harbour Town playground a very fun and family friendly activity.
My niece enjoyed playing on the swings and slides the most. There is a set of kiddie swings for small children that are enclosed on all sides so they can’t fall off. She loved it. There are two slides: (1) a smaller one that swirls and (2) a bigger, straight-​shot one that starts inside a treehouse. We took turns taking my niece down the slides. She smiled big and giggled with enjoyment after each trip down. She kept asking us to take her on the slide again and again. We had a great time.
There is seating for adults throughout the playground.
There is also a picturesque live oak tree which kids are always climbing on despite the rules of the playground stating that «climbing on tree limbs is prohibited.» This, of course, is to absolve the resort of any liability in case a child were to fall off a limb and brake his/​her arm.
If you’re in Sea Pines and have kids to entertain, I highly recommend the playground at Harbour Town. While I had tons of fun playing here as a kid, I get more enjoyment taking my niece here and seeing the joy on her face. :)

No complaints. I stay in Sea Pines when I visit and the Harbour town area is one of the main reasons. Nice place, great playground and easy to bike to. My daughter loves it.

It costs 6 bucks to get into the area, but it’s definitely the best play ground on the island. In the shade no less. It’s fenced in, which can not be appreciated enough. And there’s loads for the little ones to play with and on.

This is a great little playground if you are visiting Hilton Head Island. It’s $ 6 to get into the sea pines, but well worth it with all the things to do.

This is one of the best playgrounds we have ever seen.
