Word on the street
What locals are saying
Colonial Lake — affectionately called 'The Pond' by longtime residents — is one of Charleston's most cherished neighborhood fixtures, a tidal loop in Harleston Village that draws joggers, dog walkers, fishermen, and model-boat enthusiasts on a daily basis. The park was largely charmless before a 2016 Charleston Parks Conservancy renovation funded by philanthropist Darla Moore added over 20,000 plants and nearly $6 million in hardscape improvements, and local volunteers now log hundreds of hours a month keeping it immaculate. The consistent knock from reviewers is limited street parking around the perimeter.
