Savannah’s Playground: Myrtle Beach s Premier Inclusive Playground for All Abilities

Discover the vibrant Market Common area in Myrtle Beach, a family favorite since 2008 for dining, shopping, movies, and runs. In 2016, it welcomed Savannah’s Playground, the Southeast’s first enabling playground, drawing visitors from near and far.

This exceptional $3 million, multi-acre park features fully ADA-compliant equipment, empowering children of all abilities to play and connect. Enjoy the music park, interactive zones, early childhood and school-age playgrounds, picnic areas, challenge ropes, ziplining, and more—all free and open to everyone.

Honoring Myrtle Beach native Savannah Thompson, who lives with Williams Syndrome and inspires the Grand Strand with her positivity, the playground's Phase 1 offers endless fun. Planned expansions include a water play area and paddle boats.

Families, don't miss this gem. Conveniently near Market Common, teens can shop or watch a movie while little ones play, with top restaurants for group meals. Seeing kids of all abilities bond through play is truly heartwarming.

Located at 3600 Emmens Avenue, Myrtle Beach, with portable restrooms, ample parking, and a spot on every itinerary. Learn more at SavannahsPlayground.org.
