Revamping Rio Del Mar Park Playground: A Safe, Accessible, and Fun Future
Artist Rendering of Proposed Rio Del Mar Park Playground
Let's rally together to create an incredible new space at Rio Del Mar Park! Imagine a safe and dynamic play environment for our kids, free from flooding and hazards. With the enthusiastic backing of Superintendent Contreras and Supervisor Zach Friend, the School and Rio Del Mar Parent Alliance are eager to partner with the district and county to bring this vision to life. Our community can overcome the funding challenge and achieve an amazing ADA-accessible play structure that everyone can enjoy. Let's make it happen, together!

Past Projects
The Rio del Mar Improvement Association has been actively involved with local Boy Scout Troops, community members, State Parks department and other governmental agencies to successfully complete landscape projects including the care and planting of the Esplanade palms and ground cover, along with new landscaping associated with the roundabout.
Landscaping and maintenance of Rio del Mar Blvd medians at Deer Park Shopping Center and Sumner Drive, as well as Treasure Island and Spreckles Drive, are examples of the association’s ongoing work.
Landscaping maintenance locations are:
-
Rio del Mar freeway exit at the Arco gas station

Rio del Mar Blvd traffic islands at Deer Park Shopping Center
-
Rio del Mar Blvd @ Sumner Drive island
-
Treasure Island and Spreckles Drive

Hidden Beach Park improvements are also underway with a new ADA-compliant porta potty, new ADA-compliant and dog friendly water faucet, and refurbished tables already completed. RDMIA has led fundraising and worked with SC County Parks to complete these improvements, and additional substantial upgrades are planned pending budget allocations. Stay tuned!
