Colonial Lake Park

Colonial Lake Park is a neighborhood park in the heart of peninsula Charleston. It is one of the most popular parks for afternoon strolls with the kids and dogs in tow. Bikers, joggers and walkers frequent the park at all times of the day. This park has a rich history, making it one of Charleston's most interesting storytelling parks. Its bare bones appearance has much support in the community for a major renovation. It is a favorite spot for wedding proposals and life-changing announcements. The holidays boast one of Charleston's most talked about Christmas trees lit up for all to see in the middle of the lake. The tidal lake changes with the daily tide changes. Park benches give a resting point for quiet conversations. This lower west side park is right across the street from Moultrie Playground, known for its tennis courts and access views to Lockwood Drive.
