Colonial Lake

For over 150 years, Colonial Lake has been an essential park in Charleston. Walk down Rutledge Ave from Palm House, pass by the landmark Ashley Hall School, the Southern Charm house along the way through Harleston Village, and relax on a park bench overlooking the lake, while admiring all the beautiful flowers and greenery. The Charleston Conservancy maintains the park year round and seasonal decorations occur- such as the Christmas tree lighting in November and newly planted annuals in the Spring.

Located on Rutledge Ave, a straight 15 minute walk from Palm House. Continue to stroll down to the Battery for more sightseeing and more historic homes.

Cannon Park

In 1899 the city built an auditorium on this 3 acre park and in 1907 the auditorium became the Charleston Museum. In 1981 a fire destroyed the structure but the 4 impressive columns survived and remain there still today. In the 1890s the Olmsted brothers, (the landscape designers of Central Park) designed a park concept for this site which later became the blueprint for today’s design- a large grass lawn surrounded by live Oaks and Palms- ideal for your pup to play and for all to enjoy.

Located on Rutledge Ave, an easy 10 minute walk from Palm House and on the way to Colonial Lake.
