MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – (Friday, May 1, 2026) – Berkeley County plans to open public boat access at its new waterfront park siteat 933 Broughton Road in Moncks Corner on Friday, May 15, 2026.
This opening pertains to all six boat ramps and parking spaces for at least 180 boat trailers—including accessible boat trailer spaces, make-ready spaces and tie-down spaces.

- 4,200 sq. ft. open-air event pavilion
- Walking trail – 0.6 miles around the landing

Total cost of the Waterfront Park project is approximately $10.5 million. Funding stems from Berkeley County Delegation “Water Recreation Funds,” Berkeley County Accommodations Tax Funds, SC state budget appropriations, and a US Fish & Wildlife Service grant from the SC Department of Natural Resources. Santee Cooper has also provided a long-term gratis lease to Berkeley County for the project.
Additional costs have been offset by work performed in-house by Berkeley County Roads & Bridges, Berkeley County Facilities & Grounds, and Santee Cooper.
“Opening Atkins Landing in advance of the park opening is critical to meet the demand of our boating community and to relieve the overcrowding at other landing sites. We are excited and look forward to opening the entire park very soon.”
