Overview

Summary

This project is located at 273 Squire Pope Rd Hilton Head SC. The work involves construction of a 7-space parking lot with curbing and pavement with fencing; new culvert with asphalt driveway apron, earthen walking trail, entrance and emergency/maintenance gate as indicated on the construction plans. There will be an entrance sign and interpretive signs along the trail per the construction drawings. Interpretive signage will be installed by the County.

This is considered a historical site and extreme care needs to be taken when clearing, grubbing, grading, and drainage. Erosion Control needs to be a priority with this project.

Background

Ford Shell Ring, located at 273 Squire Pope Road on Hilton Head Island, was jointly purchased by Beaufort County and the Town of Hilton Head in 2003 through the Rural and Critical Lands Preservation Program. The County and Town have agreed through an Intergovernmental Agreement that the “intended use of the [property] is for a passive park and open space, development of interpretive displays regarding the shell ring and structure…”. The park development plan is similar to the other passive parks in the immediate vicinity, which include Green’s Shell Park located off of Squire Pope Road just south of the property and Jarvis Creek Park located off of Hwy 278. The property will remain forested and park amenity standards will be consistent with the other nearby park properties. After construction, the property will be open to the public Monday through Sunday from dawn to dusk, there will be no utilities on the property, and the Town and a Friends group have agreed to conduct maintenance and interpretive tours, respectively.
