Summer Fun Returns: Frankie’s Park Gets a Fresh Look

Frankie’s Fun Park, the family‑friendly landmark that has been delighting North Charleston families since 1990, is set to reopen this summer after an extensive makeover. The revamped venue now boasts a sprawling 18,875‑square‑foot arcade and upgraded buildings that offer more games and better food options.

Highlights of the Renovation

• Zero Gravity – A brand‑new ride that will also debut at the park’s locations in Columbia, Greenville, Charlotte, and Raleigh.
• Laser Tag – A high‑energy arena for the whole family.
• Bumper Cars – Classic fun with a modern twist.
• Indoor Thrill Rides – New attractions designed to keep kids and adults on the edge of their seats.

The Godley family, who own the park, have kept the exact reopening date under wraps and have not yet responded to media inquiries. Their investment underscores a commitment to keeping the park contemporary while honoring its family‑owned roots.
