About the Venue

Birnie HOPE Center Splash Park is one of Sumter's city-run free spray parks and is tied to the Birnie HOPE Center campus on South Purdy Street. The city lists Birnie among its spray park locations and separately confirms the HOPE Center address and contact information. Families looking for a no-cost neighborhood water-play stop will find this one most useful as a casual local park visit rather than a destination attraction.
