Project Summary

Hood Construction was pleased to serve as CM-R partner on this entrance upgrade to Swan Lake Park in Sumter, SC. This is the second CM-R project the Hood team completed for the City following the success of their first ever CM-R project, also completed by our team, the New Public Services Complex.

The centerpiece of the new entrance is a massive 24-foot swan sculpture created by world-renowned artist Grainger McKoy, which was installed within a beautiful new fountain. In addition, a new right hand deceleration lane was added for drivers heading east on Liberty Street toward the park entrance.
The upgraded entrance to the park now includes granite and cobblestone paving, brick pavers laid in a herringbone pattern, decorative brick walls, new curb and gutter, and extensive landscaping.
