The Esplanade at CanalSide

The Esplanade at CanalSide is a public park located in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. It forms part of the Three Rivers Greenway, a network of riverfront trails and parks along the Congaree, Broad, and Saluda rivers. The park runs alongside the historic Columbia Canal, offering visitors scenic views of the waterway and surrounding natural landscape.

The Esplanade provides a paved walkway for pedestrians and cyclists, allowing for recreational activities such as walking, jogging, and biking. The path is lined with benches, providing spots for rest and relaxation while enjoying the riverside scenery. The park's location near the confluence of the three rivers makes it a prime spot for observing local wildlife and plant species.

It serves as a green corridor in the urban environment, offering residents and visitors alike a space to enjoy outdoor activities and connect with nature within the city limits.
