Horse Lot Park

Horse Lot Park is a small urban green space located in the historic downtown area of Charleston, South Carolina. Situated at the intersection of Broad Street and Chisolm Street, this compact park offers a quiet retreat within the bustling city.

The park's history dates back to the early development of Charleston. Originally part of the city's tidal marshland, the area was later filled in during the city's expansion. The name "Horse Lot" is believed to have originated in the mid-20th century, though the exact reason for this name is unclear.

Today, Horse Lot Park serves as a neighborhood gathering spot and a small oasis of greenery amid the surrounding historic buildings. The park features a grassy area with some mature trees providing shade. While small in size, it offers a pleasant spot for local residents and visitors to relax or enjoy a brief respite from city exploration.

The park's central location makes it easily accessible to those touring Charleston's historic district. It's within walking distance of several notable landmarks and provides a convenient resting point for those exploring the area on foot.
