Description of the Park
Located on South 17th Street Extension in the southwest district of the City, Halyburton Park is a 58-acre tract of land comprised of gently rolling sandhills, wet pine flatwoods and limesink depressions, known as Carolina Bay Ponds. One pond holds water year round. After an extensive environmental review it was determined that the site is of regional significance due to the proliferation of natural features contained within the tract. Because the abundance of diverse, undisturbed plant collections in an urban area is so uncommon, the City, with support from both the public and environmental groups chose to maintain the site as a natural area with limited development. With this in mind, the City designed a park that emphasizes the property's natural areas, yet also provides light recreational facilities.
