Memorial Park Master Plan

2026-11-03

The City of Tybee Island seeks qualified proposals in unified design and improvement concepts for the City ’ s Memorial Park . Memorial Park is a critical element in maintaining Tybee Island as a residential community in the face of increasing populations and visitation from outside the community . The community seeks a master plan that unites these disparate uses and enhances the aesthetics and functionality of the park . The City plans to move the Fire Station out of the park , and is investigating the potential re - location of the Tybee Island Maritime Academy , a public K - 8 charter school , into a new facility that would be built within the park boundaries . The City also wants to explore enhancement or replacement of recreation facilities and amenities currently managed by the YMCA . Tybee Island is experiencing buildout , more complex redevelopment projects , and a consistent visitor stream . With our aging population , the design needs to be multi - generational . The city needs to ensure any plans for Memorial Park are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan , the Land Development Code ( LDC ), and anticipate the community ’ s current and future needs . In Spring of 2025 , the City hosted an Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel ( ULI - TAP ) to create a vision for Memorial Park . The ULI - TAP report is included .
