The waterfront park in Charleston was a wonderful end to an evening. We had dinner and then strolled on the pier. The wind and smell of the ocean was relaxing. When you reach the end of the pier you have a vast view of the water,harbour, and sail boats. More

This park is very conveniently located so there are no long walks to get to it. We were able to score a parking spot right in front of the main water fountain (meter). My 2-year-old loved playing in the fountain. Definitely bring extra clothes and a towel because you are actually able to walk right into the fountain and enjoy... More

Only problem here is that my wife and I could never get a swing to sit in. Other than that, this is a great place to take a stroll with your significant other and look out into the bay. Do not miss the pictures you can get here. More

The location, the staff, the room and the service was amazing! They made us feel like we were royalty. We were in walking distance to everything we wanted to do. To... More

Not enough swings there is a waiting period. There is always a refreshing breeze & you can watch the ships come & go. More

I loved this pretty little spot on our recent trip. We were really hot after walking a few miles round Charleston in the mid day sun, so we were keen to cool off in the fountain. There were a few people also cooling off in there and the atmosphere was lovely. It was great watching the kids play and I... More
