SK8 Charleston Rules
The Charleston County Park & Recreation Commission has Agency Rules and Regulations (PDF) that establish uniform procedures for the administration of activities within all parks and facilities. In addition to the established agency rules, the rules set forth below also govern SK8 Charleston.
Charleston County Parks are family-friendly facilities, and we expect all guests to behave accordingly.

Failure to comply with the law or facility rules may result in refusal of admission or expulsion.
