Word on the street
What locals are saying
Horse Lot Park is a wide-open grassy rectangle tucked into South of Broad that operates squarely as a neighborhood patch — soccer balls, frisbees, and leashed dogs rather than tour groups. The dog park has become its defining feature, pulling in owners from the surrounding blocks on daily rotation, and its position between Colonial Lake and The Battery places it at the quiet center of Charleston's most satisfying walking loop. The name is a genuine relic: the land was designated colonial-era public common in 1768, later filled to become a rice mill pond, before settling into the unpretentious green it is today.
