Port Royal celebrates new splash pad; mayor calls it an investment in family and community
Summary
Port Royal and Beaufort County held a ribbon cutting for a new splash pad last week; Port Royal Mayor Kevin Phillips said the facility is an investment intended to welcome families and build community.
Port Royal and Beaufort County marked the ribbon cutting of a new splash pad last week, and Port Royal Mayor Kevin Phillips described the facility as an investment in family-friendly community space that is open to residents of all ages and backgrounds.
"Port Royal is open to you whether it's the Cypress Wetlands, Sands Beach. Now this splash pad, we wanted to be a place where families come, community is built, and the kids really feel safe and at home," Phillips said in a sound bite played on BCTV. The broadcast presented the mayor's remarks as part of its coverage and said full video of the ribbon cutting is available on the county channel.
Why it matters: The splash pad provides a new public amenity intended to offer recreational space for families; local officials framed it as part of broader efforts to support tourism, downtown vitality and environmental preservation. The broadcast did not list operating hours, staffing, or maintenance funding for the splash pad.
