About White Point Garden City Park

White Point Garden City Park
 

White Point Garden City Park, situated at the southern tip of the Charleston peninsula, is a 5.7-acre park that offers a delightful blend of history, nature, and recreation. The park is bordered by the Battery, an iconic defensive seawall and promenade that provides panoramic views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter in the distance. The park itself is adorned with giant live oaks that provide ample shade, making it a relaxing spot for picnics and leisurely strolls. Historically, White Point Garden is significant due to the number of Civil War-era cannons and monuments scattered throughout the park, serving as a reminder of the region's deep history. The park is also home to various statues commemorating notable events and figures. While there are no formal trails within White Point Garden City Park, the network of paths and walkways offers easy access to the park's primary features and serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the historic parts of Charleston.
