12/20/2011

Myrtle Beach city crews are working as hard as Santa’s elves this week, trying to finish up the last work on phases two and three of the sports-field complex at Grand Park.

Parking lots along Emmens Drive, a concessions and restroom building, two youth fields and three full-size fields complete with synthetic turf are all getting attention right now.

“It should be all done by the end of the year,” said assistant city manager Ron Andrews. Weather could play a factor, as it tends to do this time of year, but Andrews said if the work isn’t done by the time 2012 starts, it will be finished shortly after.
