Review:
Located on Calhoun Street near the Medical University of South Carolina and sandwiched between Rutledge and Ashley Avenues, Cannon Park is one of Charleston’s most outstanding parks. In the shade of large live oaks there is a small playground that kids love. The grassy area is very popular with dogs and dog owners. A sidewalk around the park is used extensively by runners and joggers. The park is located at the site of a sawmill pond that was later converted to a convention hall, a museum, and a hospital. The remnants of the hall, destroyed by fire in 1981, are still visible in the form of four large columns, the most visible features of the park.
