Photos: Irmo Veterans Park Groundbreaking Ceremony

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday for the Irmo Veterans Park. 

The 3-acre park will feature a gazebo that will look exactly like the one in the town's park, magnolia trees, crepe myrtles, exercise trails and a flags display honoring veterans from all branches of the military.

The Irmo Arbor Day Committee has worked with Sen. Jake Knotts to secure a $50,000 grant for park and is working with the Town of Irmo to construct it.

Dr. Surb Guram of South Carolina Internal Medicine is one of several people raising money for the gazebo.

The Irmo Veterans Park is located on Palmetto Wood Parkway near the Irmo Professional Center. 

Officials say the construction of the park should be completed in June.
