Residents of James Island expressed enthusiasm and concerns during a public input meeting on February 25, 2025, regarding the development of Mill Point Park. The meeting highlighted community interest in enhancing local recreational opportunities, particularly the potential for a dock and bulkhead at the park.

One resident, who has lived on St. Post Road for a decade, praised the ongoing improvements in the area and inquired about plans for a dock. The response indicated that such features would be included in future surveys, reflecting the community's desire for increased access to water activities like kayaking and fishing.

Concerns about safety and maintenance were also raised. Residents worried about the potential for vandalism or misuse of the park after dark, especially since there are no plans for lighting. The town's island patrol, which operates with deputies from the sheriff's department, was mentioned as a measure to ensure safety and community engagement, particularly during nighttime and weekends.

The meeting concluded with a sense of optimism about the park's development, with residents eager to see it become a safe and enjoyable space for families. As plans progress, the community's input will be crucial in shaping the park to meet their needs and expectations.
