My wife and I were walking around Charleston and we stumbled on this park. This is not too far away from the market and is a good place to sit down and relax. It has some incredible views of the harbor, The water fountain is also very beautiful. Its worth a stop if you are in the area. more

We were driving by the waterfront park when the fountain caught our eye. We parked and walked back to the fountain. It was a very warm day and we took off our shoes and waded in running under the streams of water that come out of the sides of the fountain. Now as if this wasn't enough fun for one... more

This is great place for kids and adults. There are two fountains for kids to play in, so bring their bathing suit. It's plenty of seating. There are a few swings for that can sit a family of 4 to 5. You can also fish on the pier. Don't miss this stop. I also suggest Gullah Tours. more

Rest and Relaxation! We only stayed 1/2 hour, but it was great. The breeze was wonderful while we sat on the porch swings and looked at the water. The best thing- its free! more

This was one of our favorite things to do. At the end of a long day of sight seeing, each night we went down to Waterfront Park and sat on the porch swings. This is a must do in Charleston! more

The day we went to Waterfront Park was a very windy day so we didn't get to enjoy it very long. However, we did walk out onto the pier and took some beautiful pictures. It seems like a nice place to relax on a spring day (without 30mph winds). The bench areas were very nice and there were plenty of... more

A nice place to relax. We enjoyed the swings for a few minutes and walking out onto the pier. We didn't spend a lot of time at the park, however, as there were so many other beautiful and historic places to visit in Charleston. more

This park is a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon. The fountains are the highlight of the park, and you are even allowed to wade into them. This is definitely one of Charleston's highlight attractions. more

This was one of the first places we visited upon arriving in Charleston and one of the last places we visited before leaving. It has such a great vibe to it. We would just walk out on the pier and look out at the water. We even spotted 4 dolphin while standing by the Pineapple Fountain. There are fountains, swings,... more

Don't miss the dolphins. We saw three of them just 200 feet from shore (near the pineapple fountain). The park is great and should be park of any tour of Charleston. more
