Robert Shelley Family donates a park to the City of Myrtle Beach

The City of Myrtle Beach will accept and dedicate a new park property at 8:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 14. The Robert Shelley Family is donating property at 405 Balsam Street for use as a city park and as part of the city’s stormwater management system. The Myrtle Beach City Council will be on hand Tuesday morning to gratefully accept this land from the Shelley Family. Our plans call for green space and public ...park improvements, as well as a stormwater detention pond. A small playground already on the property will be improved in time. The land will be known as “Shelley Park,” in honor and remembrance of the family and its contributions to the city throughout the years. Council members will unveil the park sign during Tuesday’s event, with additional improvements to follow at a later date. Note Tuesday’s Council Workshop will begin at 9:30 a.m. and the Council Meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. to allow Council members to attend the dedication ceremony.
