Waterfront Park, Harbor park in Charleston, South Carolina.
The eight-acre park stretches along the Cooper River, featuring multiple fountains, wooden piers, and landscaped gardens with oak tree canopies and palmetto trees.
The location transformed from a maritime center with shipping terminals in the 1950s to a public park after extensive planning and construction in the 1980s.
The park received the 2007 Landmark Award for its design integrity and significant contribution to Charleston's community landscape and public spaces.
Visitors can access the park daily from 7:00 to 21:30 Monday through Saturday and 7:30 to 22:30 on Sundays at 823 Meeting Street.
The Pineapple Fountain stands as the central water feature, while Vendue Wharf extends into the river with covered swings facing Fort Sumter.
