"Charleston Waterfront Park is a 12-acre park which serves as a transition between the historic residential, business, government and tourist districts of the city. Located along the salt-water marshes of the Cooper River, the park includes a 400-foot-long wharf and fishing pier with shade structures, riverside promenade, lawns and formal gardens, tree-shaded walking and seating areas, and two major fountains. The park’s main entrance features a large paved plaza with a fountain surrounded by decorative walls with ornamental iron fencing. Building upon 939 ninety-foot concrete piles, the park provides 3,558 linear feet of access to the harbor. There are 150 Charleston benches and 3,000 linear feet of seating walls. Planting within the park includes 185 large trees, 750 azaleas, 2,000 boxwood, 216 large shrubs, more than 5,000 flowers, 12,000 square feet of ground cover, and one acre of grass lawn. In designing the park the city commissioned the architects to consider the park in the context of this section of the peninsula city. The result was a master plan which has provided the frame work for an extraordinary redevelopment of this important section of Charleston. Charleston Waterfront Park strengthens pedestrian use of the city by residents and visitors alike. The development and redevelopment has substantially added to the city’s tax base. Most important, however, is the park itself--a place of beauty, providing for all time, for all citizens and visitors, a matchless vista of a beautiful harbor."
