If the great outdoors are calling your name, you’ll hear it loud and clear at the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex, home of Park 843 and its Shark Wake Park and Aqua Park, along with plenty of room for outdoor exploration within the trees.
The park also offers walking and biking trails, a three-acre dog park for your furry friend’s workout, three playgrounds, a 25-acre lake, a 10-acre meadow and much more. You can also pack a picnic and dine alfresco with your family at any of the park’s seven picnic shelters. And the gorgeous outdoor amphitheater at the park is known to host live entertainment and special events throughout the year.
Sports Tourism
The expansive grounds of the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex is a mecca sports tourism destination, featuring four youth baseball and collegiate softball fields, two regulation high school baseball fields, eight regulation soccer/lacrosse fields, which can also be converted for flag football, and eight batting tunnels for pregame warmup.
That’s not all this complex has to offer. Head over to Park 843, where loads of action and adventure await you on the water.
Park 843
Open since 2016, the park boasts Shark Wake Park, the ultimate wakeboarding experience for the entire family. The five-tower and two-tower cable systems allow for wakeboarders of all skill levels to enjoy the sport at all speeds – from rookies to pro riders. Ride the waves without your own board or boat! They have everything you need to enjoy the ride, no need to bring your own equipment.
Also at Park 843 is the Aqua Park, one of the largest floating obstacle courses on the East Coast. For each 50-minute session, you’ll be able to climb towers, bridges and more as you balance and slide down these massive inflatables. The family-friendly challenge is for all challenge levels, but children must be at least 7 years old, 45 inches tall and know how to swim. Reservations are recommended.
After you’ve had your fun in the sun, cool off at the Shark Shack, serving ice-cold beverages, including beer, ice cream and other refreshing treats.
The North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex and Park 843 is located at 150 Citizens Circle, Little River, S.C.
