IRMO, S.C. — One of the many parks in the town of Irmo is Veteran’s Park, created to memorialize community members who have served in the military.
“We’ve had people for years asking ‘hey y'all don’t have anything for veterans, honoring veterans in the Irmo area,’" says Irmo's Director of Public Works. "So a number of years ago, we got with the Irmo Arbor Day Committee and Irmo Town Council and came up with the Irmo Veteran’s Park.”
The park, off of St. Andrews Road, is perfect for exercise and reflection. There is a wooded path with exercise machines, as well as benches dedicated to local veterans.
“It's quite a statement for the veterans, and everybody’s excited to have an area where they can go out and enjoy a nice park and something that’s in honor of the local veterans," Cline says.
