Third Thursdays had some vendors on the sidewalk and music for entertainment. Police presence was a good feeling that you could be out and enjoy knowing that your safe. Ships were open as well ad restaurant(s).
After undergoing a $2.3 million dollar renovation a couple of years ago, Hutchinson Square is the nucleus of Old Town Summerville. Complete with a fountain, statues, benches, and shade trees, the park provides a great spot to enjoy a lunch or evening stroll. Small shops line both sides of the square that leads a wanderer from the railroad tracks up to Town Hall.
Great I was there for a President Trump rally. It was awesome. About 150 people showed up to support our president.
Love just sitting relaxing & enjoying weather. Great place to go with all the social distancing we have to do these days.
Thank you Main Street Reads for a great story time. If you havent been they have one every Wed at 9:30 in the middle of Hutchinson Square. Social distancing was available for those with concernes about covid.
Nice area to shop, play pokemon go, enjoy the park!
The citizens of Summerville makes this a warm and happy place!
Great places to sit down to visit with friends, and other activities
I love walking around the square and enjoying the scenery and shops.
Well maintained area. Good shops nearby too
I grew up in Summerville. So its nice to see them taking care of the square.
What a marvelous place.The square has a wonderful green space and old architecture buildings. The Gallerys interior Decor has a unique design and features from the 40s. Very detailed and a walk back in time, outside and inside.Great location off Doty and Richardson street. Plenty of arts, restaurants, and home of sweet tea!!
Love this place, Summerville has really made a beautiful place to walk the square.
Wonderful to go for a run around this area!
Love to go walking at Hutchinson Square.
Hutchinson Square has long been the perfect little park off of an extremely busy main highway(17A.)There have been major improvements that were recently revealed. There are replicas of old Summerville that are absolutely gorgeous..the sign that welcomed people to the flower town in the pine, a platform & railroad station, park benches and much more. Hutchinson Square is a must when visiting Summerville. The park is truly spectacular and takes you back to days gone by. It made this Green Wave(Summerville High School mascot) proud!
Its really small, but always clean.
Third Thursday, not to crazy but was nice for a first experience.
Hutchinson square is awesome!
Love the town square renovation. The stage and Archway are a great addition and the variety of events here is expanding. Love Scarecrows on the Square, the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, and other events.
A beautiful place any time of day or night, And any time of year.
The lights are beautiful and the events are a fun way to spend a night out.
I think the atmosphere was cool and chill and I really enjoyed walking around there
Terrific little park in downtown Summerville!
The town has so many nice events that take place here. Its a nice little park to walk through too with plenty of little shops around it.
Lots to do here today. Local car show going on till 10am, sweet tea festival after that. A block away is the usual farmers market with lots of great choices. Busy weekend, great place!
Very nice Town square. Recently renovated but still maintains its small town charm.
Very fun downtown area. The actual square is a great place for a picnic under the trees. Lots of cute shops and hidden treasures.
Cool little town
This is the most amazing, quaint, cute and happy square Ive ever been to. There was a festival in the park that we happened to accidentally walk up to. The kids loved it, live band, everyone was dancing in the grass enjoying one another, no division, no politics, just love.
Since they renovated the square it is so much more beautiful and has much more life to it. I kove the fountain in the middle and i also like the big tree there as well. There are benches to sit on and it is close to local restaurants and stores
Great Central Park to a cute small town. They have great events and offer parking for free
Very nice, only thing really left keeping the small town a small town.
It was a beautiful spot to visit, the park was very nice. We went to the Summerville fall festival and the plaza was very lively. It was very fun for my family and I to come to this spot.
Very casual setting, nice location to enjoy main street...love all the shops nearby...we have a neat town.
Neat little park tucked away in sweet Summerville. Home of Sweet tea is their claim to fame.
Fabulous gathering area! Had a great time at the Sweet Tea Festival! The musicians were awesome!
This is my favorite place to stop after work. I love going into Cuppa Manna, getting a Bubble Tea, and then going out into the park to sit and relax. There are many other great places to visit in Hutchinson Square to visit as well. There are two great places for wine and cheese and a new place called off the chain has amazing food
I prefer the nostalgia of what it was. But if you are looking for a place to sit outside and enjoy the weather it is nice. There is a coffee shop and a wine shop as well, if you would like a drink. Plus the old pharmacy to explore.
Love the shops and eating establishments...
I was very pleased with the completion of Hutchinson Square. Walking through it rather than just driving by was a delightful experience.
Atmosphere is fabulous!
Recently redone, great park and lots of shopping and community and arts events here
Nice place to go and enjoy many aspects of summerville except a bathroom after 5pm there isnt one it for sure needs one badly
I love how they have remodeled this place. It makes it so much nicer.
The town revamped this area and let me tell ya,they did a great job! The landscaping is perfect and the amphitheater style stage they built is perfect for the live music that goes on during third Thursdays.
Always something fun going on.
Recently updated area. Where before it felt like a small park, now it feels more like a venue with an open area and stage. Its probably better suited for the area now and Im sure it will be nice to have the added space for downtown events.
Great evening spot. My family loves to go to sonic for half price shakes and then come to this park to enjoy the outside.
Summerville is Hades
Absolutely love this place! Summerville hit a grand slam when they redid this place and gave it to the public as a place to meet mingle and just have fun!
Attended sweet tea festival here. Good time was had by all!
A really great upgrade for a vibrant small town feel in Summerville, SC.Wonderful concerts and festivals hosted with attention to details, like seating and ports-potties.
Nice enough
This was recently renovated and wow I was not disappointed when I saw the square! This has plenty of shaded seating areas and is surrounded by cute shops
My wife did so I do. U no whT what I mean?
The simpler, more rustic town square was preferable in my opinion. What has always made Summerville so appealing was that despite is astronomical growth, the old town was still just that – a simple, rustic, unpretentious old town. Unfortunately, we have had a string of new mayors and town council members more than willing to spend tax dollars on spit-polished public areas that cost millions but add nothing meaningful to the experience of being in Summerville. The old Town square needed nothing more than the neatening up of the flower beds and better regular maintenance of the paths, fixtures, and flowers. Instead, we have this expensive makeover that trades rustic beauty for modern open concept, and all the charm is lost.
Down home friendly, a touch of the past. Nice job landscaping this little jewel of a park.
Went for italian festival .Had fun
They had the Italian festival there today . I had a great time...
Quant, small park, but beautiful.
Its a nice place to go and sit, the fountain is nice.
Was very beautiful to sit and watch the fountain. My children loved it and was very calming.
Beautiful place to walk around with family, and a great place to hold events at!
Great spot for local family pictures
They just updated the area and its a nice place to enjoy a relaxing moment.
A true Center of Town experience, and maintaining that small town charm.
Great evening listening to great music. Jebb Mac Band
We had a blast and they made learning a blast for all of the students.
Great peaceful spot in downtown.
Pleasant for a walk. Not enough shops open on Sunday
Great time at Oktoberfest!
Very beautiful place to just sit and visit with anyone !!! Very serene atmosphere out in nature .
Hutchinson Square in Summerville is a really cool town square that is very Summerville and maintains the small town main street feel in the middle of a growing town. I like the renovations and all of the space it created and all of the different places features that it has. There are plenty of spaces to sit and relax and get some cool shade on a warm day and watch all of Summerville pass by. The park always seems to be clean and well maintained every time I have been there. I like when there is events here and it works well as an event space with plenty of room to move around. This is part of what makes Summerville a special place.
Beautiful and lively
The park looks really great after all of the work they put into it. Cool string lights in the trees at night give the park a cozy feel. Its a great place to sit and have a chat with a friend. BUT WHY, WHY, WHY ARE THERE NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS IN THE AREA?! This is such a common and annoying issue in public places around here. Why create a place where people want to go and sit for a while but then offer no place to pee? Its just cruel.
Small, but cute town square in the heart of downtown Summerville
The square has just gotten more beautiful and fun as the.year have gone by.
Pretty, well kept, great place to hide and hunt painted rocks
Beautiful place for a photo shoot, there was even live entertainment (a guy playing a guitar & singing)
After a complete renovation it looks great. A place for people to gather to enjoy good things the town of Summerville will put together in the future.
Beautiful
There for the parade. Crowded but always something for everyone!
Cute little community park with nice small shops around. Theres a Cafe on the corner for morning, two cool wine bars, an old fashioned drugstore on the other corner, and a couple other boutiques. Real home town feel
Awesome Christmas Parade!
Wonderful shopping, wonderful stores, wonderful place for the family together and enjoy time together.
Always something going on here. Very nice addition and spot to Summerville. Plenty of shops around.
Gorgeous and spacious! Wonderful place for enjoying the best Summerville has to offer.
Nice little downtown area
Beautiful place to relax
Went there for the sweet tea festival
