Burry Park

Burry Park, located at 131 Cargill Way in Hartsville, South Carolina, is a beautiful park and tourist attraction that offers a serene green space for visitors to enjoy. The park has been the location for various events, including the city's Screen on the Green free movie series. Formerly the site of the Cargill Oil Mill, Burry Park has been transformed into a peaceful oasis for both locals and tourists to relax and unwind.

One of the main attractions at Burry Park is the Hartsville Veteran's Memorial and Veteran's Walk. The memorial pays tribute to the veterans who served in the United States during the major conflicts of the 20th century, with detailed bronze monuments representing each conflict. The memorial also features black granite plaques honoring 420 veterans from Darlington County, showcasing their names, branch of service, and dates of service.

The Veteran's Walk, lined with 32 Okame cherry trees, connects the memorial to South Fifth Street and provides a peaceful stroll for visitors to reflect and pay their respects. The bas relief monuments at the memorial were sculpted by Hartsville native Charlie Pate, who is a graduate of the Ringling School of Art in Florida. Charlie's son Charles also assisted in creating and fitting the structure, adding a personal touch to this important tribute to our nation's veterans.
