Great views and great location. Looking forward to returning to hanging out here when the 2020 pandemic finally lets up. Always great hitting up the farmers market or just enjoying the outdoors.

Marion Square is one of my favorite parks in Charleston. It is great to have this wide open green space in the middle of everything to find a quiet spot to sit, walk, read, lay out, have a picnic, have a meeting, or get some work done. Marion Square has good wifi that is useful when you need to connect. This is also a great event space several times a year where some of my favorite big events in Charleston are held and it is perfect for that purpose and seems to fit everything just right. There is also a lot of history to this site as you can feel all of the years of Charleston surround you any time of the day. Overall this is a really awesome park that I like to visit and use regularly and enjoy.

Was there at night for ghost walk tour. The grounds seem to be well maintained. Nice buildings around. Interesting history.There werent very many street people hanging out so it seemed like could be safe place.

Was on vacation and came across this nice park. Beautiful flowers and large old trees.

This was a small market with a few interesting crafts and products for sale from pet collars and pet clothing accessories to raw honey, cookies, and sausage to coasters, unique name plates, and paintings. There was a section like a food court too. The park was in the middle of a square that had a couple monuments, a fountain, and a pretty church around it. They also had some carolers, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a large tree decoration that you could walk under.

Beautiful green space. People if all ages. Walking. Playing frisbee. History markers are informative. Some trash. Few people who appeared to be homeless sleeping on benches. Felt safe. We were there during daylight hrs.

This is a very nice part. Its in the middle of the downtown, close to shopping and the historic French quarter. Plenty of space to relax or just play it in the grass with a beautiful fountain. I walked my dog there often. My wife and I like to take leisurely strolls through it too. I highly recommend it.

A perfect little place in the middle of everything! Good for pinics & beautiful greenery nearby!

Ventured down to Charleston for the day, walked the streets and came upon this spot. Took a seat just a little while to enjoy the breeze. I love the greenery, and the monuments, it was very peaceful and beautiful. I would definitely stop here again.

I love this place, I used to climb the base of the Calhoun statue with my late wife and drink while we sang songs. I also asked her to marry me under the magnolia tree right next to it. It is an absolute travesty that the city council had the audacity to get rid of the statue. Especially since the street is still named after the man. I’m very very disappointed in our town and local government for caving in to such a small vocal group of radicals. Makes me sick, they deserve to give up the entire city to people that would rule with backbone.

Great place to take the family and see some of the historic places here in Charleston

Its nice to have a central park to take a short cut through. Too bad the monument was torn down but seeing the photo it was so tall you wouldnt know who it was. The history is in Wikipedia..

Its a park, its nice place to hangout, relax.Theres a lot more to do in Charleston, seek that out and then relax in the park if you want.

Iconic downtown square. Farmers market on Saturdays...with free Yoga, local artisans and food trucks. Plenty of open space. Picturesque and a great place to photograph iconic Charleston.

Cool open space in the older section of Charleston. We were there near Christmas and were able to see the light tree setup. Very cool! Kids love it too! Plenty of food and shopping close by.

Very pleasant place to take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a peaceful time. It was shady and a cool respite from the heat.

Good central location to meet up at in Downtown Charleston. Could do without the Confederate flag design of the field, and the anti-homeless architecture added to the benches.

We attended the Charleston Food and Wine Festival and it was perfectly suited. The grounds were well maintained and the southern charm was everything.

Nice place to sit and rest. We even had a concert to listen to

Had a great time at the Farmers Market . There were lots of vendors and we found several items to bring home. Parking was not a problem.

Beautiful day in the green space of Marion Square. Loved the classical violin music performed at the Bennett Hotel that overflowed across the lawn. I will be back!

Really beautiful and peaceful, its like a mini Madison Square Garden.

We love coming here for picnics and events

I dont even feel safe going there anymore

Nice Central square with fountain. Hotels and bars surrounding the place. Good for a walk.

Cool statue of John C Calhoun. Love the history in Charleston, SC.

SEWE at Marion Square. It was a rainy day but glad it was well attended and worthseeing the Birds of Prey exhibition.

We thought the fountain would be cool but NOT, I couldnt see passed all the homeless people.

Perfect little green patch for kids to run around in the middle of the city! At the time of year we visited, there was a huge metal lit Christmas tree in the direct middle that you could walk under. Very cool! Plus you can see many pretty holiday decorations on surrounding buildings and hotels.

Its very quiet and safe for your family, the folks there are friendly

Beautiful space in downtown area to take a break and smell the flowers. Only had a short visit but loved what I saw!

One of the best farmers market we have ever visited. Clean and safe feeling

It was nice and mostly shaded. There should have been more benches though, on the other side of the square. We were asked twice to give this man money. Kind of creepy!

Great park in the heart of Charleston, this is where on Saturdays until 2pm the farmers market is at.

Not a square. Definitely a rectangle.

Great place to meditate and enjoy nature.

Beautiful and romantic. Awesome views.

Its a cool spot in Charlestons Historic District with a few statues of historic figures. There is also a Holocaust memorial, although it dosent look very well maintained. There were a number of very sketchy homeless people hanging around so I would avoid it at night.

Very big open space for trade fairs, sports, music venues...

Such a nice place to spend a good time on a family walk day or night!

Needs more seats to set and enjoy

The last Farmers Market of the season! Crepes prepared by a master showman and good cook. Perfect weather and everybody had sweet friendly dogs. Great Day.

The only remaining shell wall that surrounded a city left here.

Arts and crafts section during spoleto. Such a great spot!

Love sight seeing in Charleston. Marion Square was clean and well kept. Very relaxing start to the day. Then its off to bar hopping with the younger crowd in the evening. Try the roof top bars, good times with a view!

Great place to gather for many local Charleston events!

Thankfully the Hotel Bennet wasn’t going to stand for the sad condition of the park. Looks great now. Much better maintained.

Marion Square is a wonderful park to take a walk or have a picnic. If you need some fresh air this is a great place to breathe. This is also a really good event space and I have enjoyed some fun events here. I like to make my way here on a sunny afternoon and lay on the grass. Marion Square has it all in a park.

A great landmark in downtown Charleston. Centrally located, it is the perfect spot to take a break from the city hustle and relax, before hitting some more shops and restaurants of course. There are plenty of nice benches to sit on in the shade, and a nice grassy field to lay out on a blanket or play frisbee and games with friends. The farmers market is always a great time, so many wonderful local vendors! It is a truly colorful display of the authenticity the city has to offer. There is a Holocaust Memorial which gives the park even more meaning in promoting tolerance and standing against acts of hatred and violence. During the winter, the park really lights up with a giant and bright Christmas tree. It is truly magical. This park has a lot to offer, and creates a strong sense of community. Definitely worth the walk.

This main park seems to be in the heart of it all. Surrounded by shopping, good places to eat, beautiful churches, and coffee shop. Pet friendly

Great place to sit out in the sun, and the farmers market every Saturday is perfect for some tasty foods, awesome local crafts, and some great lemonade! The tree lighting ended up being super fun as well

Unbelievably beautiful. And be aware at night of where you are and your situation recommend being there with others

This is such a beautiful little park. The lights in the trees, the Christmas tree during the winter and the stage they set up for concerts. It’s a great place to have a picnic or take a stroll.

They have a farmers market every Saturday. Good place to get fresh vegetables and baked goods.

As fun for adults as it is for dogs. If you come to the Saturday market, recommend buying a kambucha, Mollys nuts and a Rotti Roll; regardless of whether the dish has an egg on it, add an egg. Youre welcome.

The grass is very green. I heard they have a farmer’s market on Saturdays but it wasn’t there when I went.

What a nice city.

It was nice but there were a couple homeless people living out there and taking up the benches.

Its a great places to walk as a couple and a great place to bring your kidd to play. Their is always something going on out there love this place.

Spending time in the historical downtown area of Charleston is a treat in itself. The open market on Saturdays is a great way to pick up locally grown fruits and vegetables and products made with organic products. Goat cheese is a favorite of mine. The local farmers offer it as well as having many other vendors on site, makes for an enjoyable outdoor shopping experience

People should never forget how horrible and prideful southerners can be

Used to be a nice park until the homeless people situation got out of hand. I thought there were some kind of rules against just sleeping on the ground or near amenities in a public park, but Ive watched security guards and cops walk by without taking action so I guess its not against any kind of policy. Which is really unfortunate unless you want homeless people in all of your park photos.

Off leash park but not fenced, lots of people coming and going, not exactly the best spot to throw a ball for a dog

Beautiful. Had a picnic. And minimal homeless people.

They removed the Calhoun statue that was traditionally displayed in middle of Marion Square, very dissapointed in this.

It was pleasant, a nice place to gather with a few friends for laughs or even step into during your lunch breaks. Shaded areas and sunny spots. Beautiful fountain that you can sit near and the breeze from Calhoun and King Street nice.

Awesome always having some event here a farmers market or just enjoy the water fountain on a regular day

It was very well decorated for Christmas. The lights were beautiful.

Great park in the center of downtown that is pretty much always full of action. I (and my dog) particularly love coming here for the farmers market which is held on Saturdays in the spring and summertime from 8am - 2pm. Always a fun time and a great way to shop for local goods and produce.

Lovely place for a family outing. Always a center of some attractive activity.

It is peaceful and relaxing and I can get My thoughts together

Always clean and always have neat things to see and do

Cool park in the Heart of downtown Charleston. Noticed this fountain places by a Rotary club with the four way test on it.

Love the Saturdays walking around downtown Charleston. Me and my husband have a lot of memories here.

SEWE was there when I went so it was definitely a fun and different experience for me.

Super chill park between Market St and King St. Some dope statues and buildings around. Short grass is nicely kept. Took a nap and it was a great respite from a long hot day in Charleston.

The trees, the birds,the squirrels,the fountain....its beautiful!!!

Historic, open square great for hanging out, throwing a frisbee, reading a book, or just to breathe in the fresh air. Heart of downtown with plenty of entertainment and dining in the immediate surrounding area.

An excellent place for people-watching, resting on a walk, or attending an event

Historic place. Right in the center of town. You can lay out in the grass and catch a tan. Or listen to the water at the fountain. Or grab a bite to eat right across the street. Plenty to do in and around this area.

Nice park in a great location. Lots of wonderful events. Enjoy the farmers market on Saturday morning.

I just went for a coffe and I usually parked at the building park beside Marion Hotel . This place is beautiful and well located in Downtown. Everything from here is closed walking around .

Nice outdoor venue. Many cool events held here. Great people-watching. Parking can be tricky, but there is a garage across the street.

Historical area. Nice atmosphere. Just a lot of pain if you truly sit and reflect on the area. Slave Trades, etc. Overall, good place to visit and walk.

A church where you can sit calmly and prey to God..No one is going to disturbed you over here..

This is why I love Charleston, its like stepping back a little.

One of the few pet friendly event active locations left in Downtown Charleston.

Liked the out door market. Most venders were very pleasant.

Very beautiful place me and my family went there to celebrate new years eve and it was a lot of fun everything was free including the bouncy houses for the kids there was a section set up of light up disc that u could make ur own creations and designs with in the grass with ur kids also there was a DJ up on stage that had fog coming out with lazer designs projecting on the building behind him there were also food stands and craft stands as well as a section set up with banners that had new years resolutions written on them and bells above the banners for u to ring when u found one u wanted to choose as yours me and my family really enjoyed ourselves just good family fun I would love to go there every year

Great outdoor spot to relax.

Nice open area with history from the Revolutionary War era and a Monument to former Supreme Court Justice John C. Calhoun.

Sewe was a great time, the vendors were so fun and great to speak with

SEWE Was a blast - events here are usually free and entertaining so I always recommend them!

Nice park in the center of downtown Charleston. Farmers Market on Saturdays is great.

Nice little park with pretty holiday lights strung up!

A great park to go to for all kinds of events!

A historic and cherished green space downtown known for its Sunday Farmers market and occasional civic events. Popular with sunbathers and lazy book readers alike.

Nice place walk and relax with some interesting historical items. A few bums around.

I VISITED the MARION SQUARES from time to time.OVER50 YEARS OR SO AND ENJOY SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS DOING PREACHING WORK

Love when they have the Christmas tree up.
