Gadsden Creek is the last tidal creek on the Charleston peninsula located near Brittlebank Park. Whether or not the present-day Gadsden Creek is the same one as the historic creek bearing the same name or instead a perimeter drainage ditch carved out of a landfill in the 1950s is in dispute. Starting in 1952, the city of Charleston used the 100-acre creek and surrounding wetlands as a landfill which either completely filled the historic Gadsden Creek or diminished the creek to four acres.
In 2015, plans by the developers of a nearby high-end housing development, WestEdge, to fill the ecologically-damaged creek created controversy in the city of Charleston. Opponents of filling Gadsden Creek believe that filling the creek disenfranchises the historic African American Gadsden Green (also known as the Back Da Green) community. While proponents of the plan believe that modern-day Gadsden Creek is just a "reiteration" of the waterway with historic ties to the African American community and that filling the creek will cut off the creek's pollutants from leaking into the Ashley River.
In 2021, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control approved WestEdge's plan to fill the creek.
