Waterfront Park Information

Welcome to the Waterfront Park! 

Waterfront Park is a 12-acre park along the Cooper River near Historic Downtown Charleston, SC. The park is located between Vendue to the north and Adger's Wharf to the south. Historically, the park was the center of maritime traffic. The wharfs, however, have since been replaced by newly paved streets and businesses, the historic buildings renovated into luxury homes, and the park has been updated to it's current beauty.

Restrooms are located by the Vendue Fountain and on the ground floors of the two nearby parking garages.
