Review:
Located in front of Mitchell Elementary School, Mitchell Playground is the oldest playground in Charleston and South Carolina. The original park was just a turf field surrounded by a green hedge and shade trees. The gates led into the playground at each corner and paths crossed the park diagonally. Equipment included monkey bars, swings, and joggling boards. The playground had tennis courts, a football field, and a basketball court. Originally Mitchell Playground did not allow black children. Later into the era of segregation, Mitchell Playground was reserved to black children only. The park has been renovated several times since and it still has a full basketball court, large playground, a ball field, wide-open space, picnic tables, and bike racks.
