Magic Island Park

Situated at the junction of the Kanawha and Elk rivers along Kanawha Boulevard, Magic Island Park serves as an active outdoor recreation hub in Charleston. The park features public outdoor hard tennis courts that draw local players for casual rallies, competitive singles, and weekend doubles matches. Backed by sweeping riverfront views and an energetic perimeter walking trail, the tennis area provides dependable, well-maintained hard surfaces equipped with regulation nets and sturdy chain-link fencing. Because these are municipal facilities managed by the City of Charleston Parks and Recreation Department, court access is predominantly open on a first-come, first-served basis for recreational drop-ins. Community leagues and local groups also utilize the space for organized hitting sessions and informal tournaments. Its shared footprint with sand volleyball courts and riverside lawns fosters a lively, sports-centered atmosphere throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
