West Columbia commemorative bricks available

It is time to get your brick.

The West Columbia Beautification Foundation is selling a limited number of commemorative bricks in the West Columbia All-Inclusive, or Enabling, Park.

Bricks will be engraved with your custom message and mini-bricks with the same message make a great gift. There is a website to order engraved bricks: http://www.brickmarkersusa.com/donors/cwcb.html .

The Enabling Park for every child of every ability to play together.

“There is nothing else like this park,” said Melissa Sprouse-Browne. “It’s one of a kind.

“The park shows the commitment of the citizens of West Columbia to provide an accessible place for all.”

Sprouse-Browne is the chairwoman of the West Columbia Beautification Foundation.

She said buying a brick can honor a family member or a loved one.

“It’s a permanent memorial,” she said. “It’s also a great way for a business to show its support of the park.

Sprouse-Browne said 100 bricks have been sold close to the groundbreaking date of the Enabling Park. That was in late October.

Some were sold at Kinetic Derby Day but more bricks are available.

She said the funds will be used by the West Columbia Beautification Foundation to add plants and trees in order to beautify the US 1 Corridor in West Columbia.

Sprouse-Browne said the plan is to sell 1,500 bricks for a $100 donation each.

The bricks will be placed in the park is at 212 Hudson Street, West Columbia adjacent to the West Columbia Riverwalk.

The much-anticipated park is expected to draw visitors from all over.

West Columbia Mayor Bobby Horton bought 3 bricks in honor of family members, including his late wife Kay.

“The park is something Kay was very supportive of. And this is a great way to honor her name,” said Horton. He said he plans to buy more bricks.

West Columbia Mayor Pro-Tem, Tem Miles is looking forward to the park’s opening for his daughter Emma, who has special needs, and for the opportunity for his other two daughters, Cate and Charlotte, to be able to go to the park, and play with her.

Playing together is how children form bonds.
