Washington Square, located at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets, is one of the city’s premiere parks. The park, with its mature canopy of live oaks, is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a quiet moment. The shade is a welcome relief to visitors and locals alike who want to take a break from the summer heat and humidity. It is one of the more manicured parks, with floral displays changed throughout the year and over-seeded lawn in the winter months. The ironwork and architectural features make this park a must-see when walking the streets of Charleston.
