After a temporary shutdown, Palmetto Adventure Land, or PAL, will open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. starting May 28.
The playground was built entirely by volunteers http://www.carolinalive.com/news/story.aspx?id=542249 on Carolina Forest Boulevard in the Carolina Forest www.carolinaforestsc.com/ area of Horry County. www.horrycounty.org/ It had to close because of construction next door on the Carolina Forest Recreation Center and Library.
Even though the playground will be open, visitors are asked to be aware of the continuing construction in the area.
The Carolina Forest Recreation Center is expected to be done in spring of 2012 at a cost of $4 million. It will be about 21,000 square feet, holding a gym with a walking track, two multipurpose meeting rooms, and an exercise room.
The Carolina Forest Library should also be done in spring of 2012. The library is budgeted to cost $4 million. The 20,000 square foot library will have the capacity to hold 80,000 books, DVDs, and CDs. The library will have 26 computer stations as well as a public meeting room, a conference room that can accommodate small groups, a young adult area, and a separate children's area.
Horry County plans to add tennis courts, a pet park, and an amphitheater on the same property.
Have you visited PAL? What do you think of the playground?
