Everything about this park is delightful. You see the water, have a chance to relax and take in the wonder of it all. Another vista which makes the Charleston experience one that can be enjoyed by all

If weather permits, roll up your jeans and splash in the fountain! The waterfront has a relaxing atmosphere and is a great place for kids to run around and stretch their little legs.

I love this place and we always come at least once a trip I recommend the morning around 8-9 when there is not a large crowd and it is peaceful it is a great spot of pictures and you can go out on the dock/pier for photos, its a great spot to take pictures of the Ravenel bridge, USS Yorktown...

My husband and I walked around downtown-Charleston recently and enjoyed the scenery offered in this clean city park. It is beautiful and has many wading fountains.

Swings, pier, cool breezes, pictures of the bridge. They have these great swings facing the water that you can easily sit and relax on while you look out towards the water, boats, etc. Some individuals were catching fish (whities) off the pier.

This area is outstanding. The area is clean and accessible and the homes are beautiful. It is worth getting out to walk around to see the mansions.

Surrounded by water, beautiful homes, trees, history. Walk, bike, relax. Plenty of parking. A great place to feel a breeze and get a feel for Charleston's beauty.

Several evenings while there we walked along the waterfront and ended up in Waterfront Park. It was relaxing to sit and people watch. There was usually a breeze off the water and you can watch the sailboats.

Gorgeous harbor view, water fountains for the kids to play in, a nice walking path, plenty of places to sit and relax, lots of grass for picnics and playing, and a pier with benches and swings all = a great place to visit. Plus shops just down the street for added convenience.
