Great park to explore the Charleston water front! The views from the pier are amazing! You get to see the famous bridge, aircraft carrier, sailboats and dolphin to boot! Swings are strategically place along the pier and plenty of seating. At the entrance there is a fountain for the kids to cool off in if so desired, we seen some big kids in it as well. Best of all it is one of the many free activities to do with family while in Charleston! ️

Nice park in downtown Charleston with a couple fountains and boardwalk. Places to sit on benches and grassy fields. Saw a half dozen weddings around here on a pleasant Saturday. Pier with large porch-style swings here as well. A few aggressive hawkers here but not obnoxious. Just selling their wares along the pier and striking up conversation.Worth a stop as you tour the city or a nice spot to stop and rest with a picnic.

Downtown Charleston S C is such a pretty, lovely and charming place. It is definitely worth visiting. This Downtown is loaded with Art Galleries, fine restaurants and cafes . The charming old homes are so pretty and the cobblestone streets give the visitor a good impression of the past. I dont want to say to many nice things about Charleston SC because everybody will start thinking about moving here. Please dont. Stay where you are. Please do come and visit and enjoy the most delicious southern food. There is water all over the place for all of your water activities. Come, visit, leave your dollars here and go home. Take with you the most wonderful memories from a town that also appreciate visitors of all kind. I am a world traveler an I cannot stay here but this will definitely be my retirement home.

Seems like every time we visit Charleston with someone that has not been, we always end up at Waterfront Park. Really cool place to walk around.

A nice place to walk around. They have swings too. You can view the bridge from here.

So many sights to see birds the lake was beautiful! a stroll was awesome but got hit by a tree branch! so the park is a good place to gain peace

Awesome waterfront part. Great water views, trees, fountains. Just a generally nice place to wonder around, sit, and enjoy The breeze.

Very nice! Just a simple place to see the water and stroll along the ocean.

This area is Beautiful and you can see many of the Charleston landmarks! We were able to see the Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge and Castle Pinckney! The area is quite and soothing. There are plenty of places to sit and watch nature. We even got to see dolphins while sitting on the dock area. Hands down one of my favorite locations in Charleston, SC!! I would highly recommend visiting this area.

The paths were all well maintained and I liked the benches everywhere. It was a lovely park to take a pretty dinner walk through.

Beautiful place to walk the waterfront! Theres water to splash in, swings to chill on, and views of Fort Sumter. Take a walk and enjoy some local snacks while youre down there!

This is an awesome place to bring the kids, both my kids enjoyed growing up in this park. lost of great scenery and park benches to sit for a spell. :)There are several water fountains for the kids and adults to wade in to cool down. I highly recommend this are if you’re in Charleston visiting the Market or the Battery.

Beautiful place to walk,get some nice scenic views.We took a bike taxi from Oyster bar to Riverfront,very enjoyable ride.There are the swings at the riverfront, you can enjoy Beautiful view and nice breeze.There was a full moon the night we were there...

One of my favorite places on the peninsula! Its gorgeous! Go by the fountain and look in awe at all your surroundings! Its stunning!

Walk at your own pace or use one of the many local area free tour guides to enhance your experience. Jump in the fountain?, the water is fine, snack in a shaded spot, bring the pets, bring the kids, take those social media photo ops, or just people watch. Its up to you and its okay.

Nice place to hangout with family and friends! Great walking/jogging track with waterfront view!!

Im always a fan of the Waterfront Park for photos! Photographing weddings, families and individuals is easy when you have the backdrop of Charleston :) This waterfront park particularly offers beautiful trees and greenerery for photos!

Waterfront swinging benches are nice. Boardwalk is good.But there are strange creatures. Charleston has had an uptick in homelessness, it seems, and unfortunately, we encountered a homeless man who scared our toddler and creepily followed us. I was a bit disappointed, because Im glad to stop and help out, but not if thats how we are encountered.In downtown Charleston, a similar situation happened. We even stopped and listened to the man, who ranted off about having diabetes and something more I couldnt understand. I told him we didnt have cash on us but actually planned to go into the cafe right on that block. We asked if he would like to join, or if I can pick something up for him. I just dont have cash. He flipped out on us and got angry.How does thst make sense? Can I help you or do you just want to be angry at me?I was trying. But I guess you really didnt want any help after all.Its worsened quite a bit in Charleston city and the waterfront.

Beautiful park on the water. There are great green spaces for the kids to run around and play that are off the walking paths. There are also beautiful water fountains with very well done landscaping. Plenty of shaded areas as well. Great views of the pier and there are always a lot of boats traveling along the shore. Highly recommend for a picnic it just a stroll around.

I need this in my life more often! They are very good, the atmoshere is pleasant & relaxing.

Beautiful place very sweet lady was making these roses that where so beautiful hand made gift to take home... she is down there every day look for her

Beautiful views of the harbor area, even saw a couple of manatees, lived in Charleston for 18 years never saw a manatee here

Great park! Great mayor! Great views! Awesome sunrise spot!

Nice park to take a walk near the waterfront. Fortunately there was benches to swing, that were undercover because it started to rain, we will go back another day.

Always a nice time. Need more parking and rest rooms since business frown on using their establishment if you are not buying, eating or staying.

Beautiful view of the water and the bridge. Lovely swings to enjoy, however don’t plan on using those for a sunrise view as they are occupied by unfortunate homeless individuals. That may be their only piece of joy for the day.

Nice place to walk and see the waterfront. Several places to sit and relax to enjoy the views.

Very nice water front park, visit during daylight and during night for different beautiful views. Sunset is gorgeous here as well.

I wish we had a waterfront walk like this in our city! This place is simply gorgeous and peaceful. The trees, the fountain, the water make you feel like you’re away from America and somewhere in Europe.

The Waterfront Park in Charleston South Carolina is a very nice and pleasant place to go. You can meet a lot of nice friendly people there. And its always good to be by the water on such a beautiful day.

Nice park, good views but there were areas closed for construction along park, would be a nice area to walk or run and there were people doing so would be better in the summer I guess

If your going to Charleston do not miss this place.. It is good for evening walk.. I love to spend hours here.. Make sure that you come early to get parking spot.. No entrance fee.. If you are a nature lover either see sunrise or sunset here.. The pineapple fountain looks awesome in sunset.. The view is breathtaking.

Beautiful place. Love the sights of downtown areas. Wonderful and relaxing area.

Great photo op. Beautiful waterfront. Not thrilled about the homeless bathing in the fountain though.

Excellent scenic view. Pleasant place to stroll or sit and people watch.

The battery is a great place to enjoy the water and some of Charlestons grand old homes.

If you are looking for the Pineapple fountain this is the park to find it. There is also another fountain in the park. There is a nice pier with multiple benches and swinging benches. The park has grassy shaded areas as well.

There are a couple of chlorine-treated fountains that people can get wet in. There’s a shaded portion and a walking path by the water.

Great place to see a lot of the water activities of Charleston. You can go out on the very large pier to watch thr cruise ships come in or leave. There is also a huge water fountain that kids will absolutely love to play in, especially on hot days. The large grassy area is an ideal place to have a picnic or just relax. Lovely place.

Great Experience, although the water was a little it still gave a sense of calm. The surrounding area with the beautiful homes and trees was very charming. I loved it and hope to return soon.

My family and I went here on a day trip! It was so nice and the weather was great! Great stores all around and the beach is wonderful! I hope if your ever near it you go and check it out! So much fun and made great memories!

Beautiful scenery. Nice place to go when you dont know what to do for the day, and just feel like getting out.

Very nice place to go to swing and watch the boats pass by. It’s very beautiful at night under the stars!

Very nice place to go especially at night. Pretty good view of the bridge and the fountains are very nice to sit next to almost always a nice cooling breeze in the hot muggy south Carolina weather. During the day though the relaxation is a bit limited with kids running around splashing around in the fountain.

Wonderful place for family and sight seeing. Beautiful landscapes and architecture, with the gorgeous bay for a backdrop. With dolphins swimming in the bay, there is always something to come out to enjoy.

Really great party along the waterfront. Two fountains are great for kids. Lots of shady spots and benches to beat the heat if you want to. Usually get a nice breeze coming off the water to help cool you off

Beautiful, scenic place for a stroll ️

Very clean, beautiful at night and has that great spooky atmosphere youre looking for when doing ghost tours!

This is my favorite place in Charleston. The weather is always nice, the water shimmers, and the Pineapple Fountain is only a short walk away. Im also a local photographer so I love it when the wildlife decides to stop by for a photo shoot!

Fun place to be. We love it and I am sure yall will too

Always fun visiting the pier and fountain. Enjoy seeing people on the bench swings and children playing in the fountain.

The lovely pineapple hospitality fountain at Waterfront Park is always a must see. At all hours of the day, the light plays differently, so go often! And the bay and sailboats in the background are so lovely as well.

A great place to relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even learn a little bit of history of Charleston.

Very nice spot! Wife and I loved it.

Amazing park! Wonderful views. Tons of benches. Pier was nice. Two nice water features for kids. Lack of bathrooms is only two issue.

Waterfront Park is probably the first place I tell visitors to go. As someone who has lived here all their life and probably been there 1000 times I still enjoy going. It never gets boring and there is always something to enjoy. I really recommend this park for sunset as well. You can easily walk from here to the market or the Charleston battery.

Nice place to take stroll. The park has shade and benches to seat. The view of the water is very relaxing

Awesome park. You can see the fort, just in the distance. Lots of friendly people. Water fountains, nice walking area. Large swings, plenty of benches and tables. Well kept and clean.

The fountain needs lights. I almost stepped on people. But totally nostalgic.

We visited the Waterfront park as a part of Charleston in the Nutshell walking tour. Beautiful boardwalk is located next to the water taxi pier and is a popular tourist attraction site on the Charleston harbor. The famous Pineapple fountain and Vendue fountain situated on the park grounds. On a sunny day you can see Fort Sumter from the boardwalk.

The park is a nice place to relax. My younger siblings (and to admit, even me) had fun playing in the fountains.

Great tour with family, will have to go again. Great atmosphere.

Really beautiful park. The fountains and scenery are iconic and folks are just out relaxing and soaking it up! A great place to visit in the day or evening.

Loved the looks of this historical city. To much to see in just a weekend. Food is all pricey. But thats to be expected.. Very crowded for first weekend of March.

Charleston is a great city full of charm and the park is a nice detour to sit and eat lunch under the oak trees, snap a photo or two and strike a pose on your 50th birthday in front of the famous fountain.

Very hot and humid so dress appropriately. But amazing history and views.

Great place to visit and walk with 74 degree weather over Thanksgiving.

Beautiful views, very relaxing, & costs nothing! The only thing was the guy with the harmonica & banjo was a nice fellow but I would have preferred it to be quiet!

Fall is the best time of year to visit. Beautiful weather and friendly people.

Love coming here! I see a dolphin every time. Also, it is so much nicer when the trash in the harbor gets cleaned out. Make a point to clean up litter when you see it!

Nice place for a walk or watch the sunset.

Loved everything about this place. Its specially more scenic in the evening.

This is a lovely relaxing park close to the Cruise Ship Terminal. It has a rich history dating back to 1975 and won the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Pedestrians can walk to the edge of the river at this point from Exchange Street to North Adgers Wharf.

Such a great place for anything. Pictures, picnic, playing in the water fountains or a nice walk along the water! There are fantastic views of the Ravenal Bridge and Patriots Point from here. The Pinneapple Fountain is a must see in CharlestonIts nice to sit on the swings, when you can get one, and listen to musicians playing in the park! The only thing I dont like are the pushy people by the swings trying to sell stuff on occasion.

Very fun/cool spot. I loved the 4 different memorial plaques with a different map of the city of Charleston each century since being colonized! Very interesting to see how Charleston has grown and changed over the years. Just wish they had more bench swings out on the deck out above the water. Also, I wish there were lights out on the deck to light it up better when walking out towards the water.

A nice start to a walking tour of Charleston, start at the pretty and walk through down to the Battery. Then back up LeGare to the market area for ice cream.

Beautiful area to walk and enjoy the views. Dog friendly park and walkways. Lots seating to enjoy...park benches, covered areas with “porch swings”. Looking for an afternoon outdoors Watching the ships come and go.

Beautiful fountain, very artistic and creative.

So beautiful. There is so much to see. The kids had a great time looking at all the historic buildings. There were parks, playgrounds, and the kids were even allowed to Wade in the fountains...... Oh and did I mention, free parking for disabled veterans....Thank you!

Beautiful place .clean neat. Easy to find parking

If visiting Charleston this is nice stop for water views and to see the fountain.

Great place to walk off dinner or enjoy a Gelato from the nearby shop. Hold hands with that special someone under the stars. Very good energy around the fountains.

Beautiful, calm to walk through. Great views. Avoid peak times because it’s definitely a hot spot- but it’s a good launching point to a Charleston walking tour

Very Cool, and packed with kids swimming in it. Bring a bathing suit or a tolerance for kids in your tourist photos. But a great fountain.....surprisingly close to another fountain the locals play in as well

Beautiful street. Loved walking around the park.

Super cute fountain I love pineapples. There was a child swimming in it though.

Lovely park. Everyone has been here and seen the famous pineapple fountain. Not much else to say. Dont drown in the fountains like the sign says

It was really beautiful and lovely and we had a ghost tour walk that night and it was really amazing everything was so easy to find I really enjoyed the whole experience

Loved the romantic trees and pineapple fountain! They dont call it Waterfront Park for nothing. The water is literally right in front of you to the right and left. We walked down the pier to get an even closer view and watched the large shipping barges come and go. Theres also a nice view of the bridge from there.

Very beautiful water front park. So much to see.

Plenty of outdoor seating with a great cool breeze on a hot day!

As a person whos been born and raised in Charleston visiting the park never gets old. I love seeing the pineapple lit up at night. Great place for a walk at night.

Very beautiful park with free parking. Nice views of the water and places of ample shade and benches for resting. Also it served as a good access to the historical section of Charleston.

Cool park with bench swings! If you can get one, lol. The only issue I had was there were no lights at night time.

Waterfront Park was the perfect spot to hang out while our family waited for our reservation time at Fleet Landing. Lots of space for our kids to run and play and for us to rest in the sun. Had it been warmer, they would have really enjoyed wading in the fountain. We made sure to get a family picture in front of the pineapple fountain, too. Be sure to stop here along your familys travels, too!

This a great stop for tourists of course, but locals can enjoy it as well. Weve lived here our whole lives (pretty much) and we still enjoy it. Our parents brought us here as kids and now we get to bring our kids. Beautiful views and scenery

Great place to stop and take in the views. Often times you can see some dolphins swimming by. There are quaint giant swings on the pier area. Kids are playing in the water fountain on the hot Charleston summers. You can soak up some sun or sit in the shade. Dogs are welcome and there are local places to grab a coffee or ice cream while you hang out here.

Very Relaxing at the waterfront in Charleston sc and the views were gorgeous

Hard to tell how cool it would be right now. Still pretty cool place.

How beautiful to walk right by the water. Loved both fountains. There are plenty of benches to enjoy the sun and take a break also shady spots under the trees.The waterfront houses are beautiful.The pineapple fountain was of course a nice photo opportunity.This is definitely a must see park for every Charleston visitor.
