Stith Park Master Plan Open House- November 19, 2024- 5:00pm

Please join the Town of Sullivan’s Island and Thomas and Hutton Engineering for an open house followed by a presentation of the Stith Park master plan. The open house will be held in Town Hall on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 beginning at 5pm. During that time, the public will be able to review suggestions that have been incorporated into the plan and provide further comment on the conceptual design. 

The J. Marshall Stith Park is named for our own Marshall Stith who served as Mayor to the Town from June 1997 – June 2005. There are a multitude of aspects to the park that make it an exceptional space for recreation play, leisure and entertainment. The park is rich in history due to the old artillery mound located on-site as well as the Town's iconic Gazebo. Given the parks accessibility and usability, it is crucial that the space continues to serve its citizens over time. 

Council has recently tasked Thomas and Hutton with exploring additional recreation concepts for the Stith Park Master Plan which could further enhance the Park experience. The Recreation Committee will be presented with Thomas and Hutton's Draft Masterplan on August 23, 2024. It can be reviewed below.
