Dog on vacation with you at the John Rutledge House Inn or Kings Courtyard Inn ? The Gardens are a short walk away. Canopied with live oaks & one of the prettiest (yet un-official) downtown dog parks .

Great for a run, looking at historical homes , sunsets and picnics .
Sorry to interrupt your morning run or sunrise photoshoot, but they used to hang pirates here.
Good for an evening walk, right on the battery and the edge of downtown Charleston.
This park is very rich in history and a popular place for wedding photos.
Well , beautiful views but monuments to the Confederacy galore! So…
If you visit here which is a must just remember to make sure during your visit you won't have to run to the bathroom . There is no public restrooms south of broad street.
Loved it. Wish there were public bathrooms nearby
Best between 8 and 10 AM. Everything after that is a tourist nightmare until dark.
Come at night. The lights are beautiful and it's so peaceful .
Great Place to take your dogs for a walk. Parking is free, which is great for downtown.
