From the small green spots in downtown Charleston surrounded by modern urban architecture to the vast green spaces of James Island, Charleston has a park for any season and any expectation. Most parks offer sport fields, children’s playgrounds and picnic areas. Some are hidden neighborhood green spaces where locals come for a picnic or to walk their dogs. Others are historic spots with important monuments and even forts.
