Word on the street
What locals are saying
Pickett Park — anchored by the remnant Pitt Street Bridge in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant — earns its loyalty from locals through sheer variety and zero cost. The linear greenway sits between tidal marsh and open harbor, offering simultaneous views of Fort Sumter, the Ravenel Bridge, and Sullivan's Island, making it a genuine dual-sunset spot: benches face both east and west. Fishing and crabbing off the old bridge draw regulars at low tide alongside kayakers using the park's put-in to explore the surrounding waterways; older Mt. Pleasant residents still call the weathered wooden structure 'ol burn out bridge,' a detail that tells you this place runs deeper than any newcomer's Instagram caption.
