Suggestions for Park near Charleston

Jeff R. • December 23, 2016The Holiday Festival of Lights is very cool and amazing for the kids! Be sure to come early when close to the holidays. It gets quite packed - tough getting in and out on the small roads available.

Justin M. • November 15, 2021Yes it has the pineapple fountain, but what it also has is a view of the harbor. Smell the salt air, enjoy the soft breeze, let the kids have fun in the water or grass. Perfect for the family.

Carrie K. • April 24, 2018The pier is gorgeous and the park is amazing for kids!

Lauren W. • April 28, 2021I certainly don’t feel safe at all at Marion Square. Between all of the protests, panhandlers begging for money, homeless and mentally ill living in the park. Definitely stay away at night!
