Time to Recharge at Battery Park

A tourist attraction. A beautiful view. A place for a picnic. A place to relax and be you. Battery Park is one of Charleston's historical attractions. I have always loved taking a walk around the battery and just relax. It's a beautiful open space full of trees and contains a breathtaking view of Charleston Harbor.

Many locals find it an enjoyable place to run. At one point, the gazebo in the center of the Battery was once used for a waltz dance session. Because this area is a beautiful and calm area, many couples take their wedding pictures at the Battery.

While working at my part-time job at Pandora, a newly hired CofC student claimed she loved running and exercising at the Battery. Many locals bike and run in this area because of the relaxing feel that the Battery presents. The Palm tress are swaying, the waves are crashing and dogs playing catch just adds to the beauty of the Battery. The Battery overlooks the Charleston Harbor while tourists scurry together to get a quick picture with it. 

The Battery also contains a beautiful gazebo where people like to take pictures. At times, people like to even come and play some music or even dance. The gazebo is at the center of the Battery and is open to the public.

Also, there are certain times where dogs can be unleashed and the owners can just pop a squat on the bench and watch the mesmerizing sunset. A local dog owner claimed she loves coming to the Battery because of the fresh air and friendly people. She also states that most of the unleashed dogs are super friendly and love playing with other dogs.

The Battery is THE PLACE to come and relax. It never gets too loud with crazy tourists but provides the locals a place to chill with their dog and maybe even get a small tan out of it. The Battery has always been my go to place to just have lunch or do homework. It's a place where people are relatively friendly and dogs are trained companions. It is always nice to just lay out a blanket and talk with friends or family about anything and everything. The Battery is the perfect place to do it.
