    Liberty Square is a nice urban park with a claim to fame being the Fort Sumter visitors center. In the Square you'll find a pavilion with seating, a fountain, and many trees. The ferry departure area is also nearby. At the visitors center you can buy your ferry tickets to the fort. Be sure to enter the center to read about the history. No parking is available except street parking. As of December 2023 it's $2 per hour to park.

    Liberty square is a nice maintained park that will take you to three spots. The Charleston Aquarium, the Fort Sumter National Monument and the Maritime Center. All separated within walking distance by the water. The park has a nice seating shaded area. You can picnic here. The manicured space will make some for some great photos.

    Liberty Square is the park area as you approach the water. Lots of things going on from the aquarium to catching the tour boats over to Fort Sumter. Well kept and nice place

    Hung here briefly while waiting for the ferry to Ft Sumter. It's chill outside but nothing that really made me jump up and down. Inside is a brief museum which gets one ready for the Ft Sumter tour (excellent), bathrooms, and a gift shop. Nice

    Great views of the harbor and centralized in walking distance between the South Carolina Aquarium and Fort Sumter. This is one of many beautiful green spaces to leisurely enjoy and just walk through in Charleston. You can make a whole day of it by also visiting the aquarium and taking ferry out to Fort Sumter.

    Liberty Square hosts mainly the Charleston Aquarium and the Fort Sumter ferry services. The area is a nice respite from the heat of the sun, and there are plenty of shaded areas where to sit. Lots of kids come here, and they visit the aquarium. Also, lots of seniors come here, and they visit the fort.

    I really like the Liberty Square park in Charleston. This green area that is part of the National Park Service surrounds the South Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Sumter Monument and has a nice wide open area that has a lawn, plenty of benches, a fountain, a covered area, and cool educational markers. The waterfront area is also really nice to catch views of the harbor and a nice breeze on a warm day. This location is very well maintained and clean at all times and is nice to have a place to go to on a nice day to enjoy some fresh air and even have a picnic or just run around and have fun. I have really enjoyed Liberty Square throughout the years and look forward to being able to come back here many times in the future.

    If you are ever downtown, the pineapple fountain is a must. It is very beautiful and picture worthy…read moreas it is right by the water and vibrant flowers surrounding all around. There are benches throughout the area for seating. You do have a few steps to get to the area.

    Waterfront Park is one of Charleston's most popular places to unwind. This ten-acre park overlooks…read moreCharleston Harbor and Cooper River and offers waterfront and off-the-water paths. It is a favorite among Charleston locals and tourists alike. This park is ideal for a sunset picnic or a relaxing stroll, and it only adds to the romantic charm of Charleston. It won the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects, confirming its status as a Charleston treasure. You can stroll through the gardens, walk the esplanade, or spend some time at one of the many fountains. Spanning over 8 acres and located less than a mile north of The Battery, Waterfront Park has become a beloved Charleston fixture. It is home to one of the city's most photographed sites: the pineapple fountain. In Charleston's scorching summer months (and we faced that too), visitors (especially children) can be found cooling off in the shallow water of the fountain. Wide walking paths, dozens of benches, well-manicured green spaces, picturesque Palmetto trees, and a famous Pineapple Fountain adorn the park.
