Great park for taking a break and snapping some great photos. Live oaks are gorgeous. Close to the water.. parking can be tricky but you can usually find a spot on a nearby side street.

A wonderful place for newcomers and visitors to get a sense and appreciation of Charlestons charm. You can find it all here. Magnificent homes with sprawling porches, live oaks providing shade, fountains, statues honoring great Charlestonians, and water in the Charleston Bay.

The Battery and White Point Garden is a great place to breathe the fresh air off of the water of Charleston Harbor and see some beautiful trees. It is also located within walking distance of Waterfront Park which offers porch swings to sit in on the dock while being surrounded by the Charleston Harbor, The Pineapple Fountain and the beautiful fountain that you can cool off in its chlorinated water to keep you safe.

Came to Charleston for a family vacation and we came across this park. Such a great garden by the water! Beautiful statues, trees and flowers. And a great place for a picnic! There is free parking around the gardens and you can access the park wherever you park. On a sunny day you can’t beat it! Highly recommend!

Lovely park at the battery in downtown Charleston. You can park around the perimeter for free for up to 2 hours. There are huge oak trees and several monuments for history buffs. Its a lovely place to picnic. Be aware that there are no restrooms here, the closest public restrooms I know of are a short walk down East Bay street at Hazel Parker Playground.

This park is beautiful to walk around. Everything was so clean - not a piece of trash anywhere. It was so quiet and peaceful. We had driven by a few times but ended up walking down from our hotel about 7pm after a storm came through. There are a few monuments in the area and also a gazebo as well. You can capture some great photos here too!

White Point Garden is one of my favorite parks in Charleston. It is a quiet and green space that is close to the water and you can relax, run around, or find a quiet spot to work. It has wifi and plenty of trees and shade to keep cool on a hot day. It is surrounded by history and has many places to sit and chill out. There is plenty of free parking nearby and spots available even on the most busiest days.

Very picturesque garden with tidbits of history. The look onto the water makes it all the better. It seems like a popular venue for weddings and just photos in general with the grand gazebo in the center. The trees provide a lot of shade and make the experience relaxing.

White Point Gardens is always where I start my day through downtown Charleston. Theres free parking all around the park and all the way down the battery heading west. This is the perfect place to get some shade during the day. Also, look up The Secret: Another Treasure next chance you get and White Point Gardens gains a whole new level of awesome! I love this place.

Its has been a while since my last visit. It still remains a very crowded ( parking situation) place especially with construction taking place. Once parked , the serenity is mind blowing, smiles are contiguous and the scenery is delightful . Wheather one is there for a getaway picnic or exercise. One would walk away with a memorable experience. Just priceless!

Wonderful park along the famous Charleston Battery where the Ashley and Cooper rivers join to form Charleston harbor - or as Charlestonians say, the Atlantic ocean. One gets a scenic view of the harbor including Ft. Sumter. Great place for a stroll along the battery, picnic, etc.

Lovely historic park. The gazebo was, if I remember correctly, used in the execution process for pirates. Its truly a lovely place to take a stroll. Not as many tourists in this area. Well shaded walking paths and benches with great view of the harbor. I highly recommend this area for getting some work or reading done outside in the fresh air.

Full of great views, great history and great scenery. It was our first stop on our 3 day trip to south Carolina and it got us started exactly how we hoped. Its very low key but has a great energy around all the monuments. Be weary of protesters there every day now in front of the confederate statues to have them torn down, and oppositional protesters dressed as confederate soldiers across the street. All in all it was hilariously more than we expected to see.

This was our first stop on our self guided tour of Charleston. We LOVED it!! Be sure to look up and see all of the birds nesting in the trees. Stop to appreciate the monuments and check out the gorgeous path along the ocean. The second we walked over we saw dolphins feeding and gliding so close to us!!! Incredible. Will be back!
