Amid criticism from nearby residents, the group behind a proposal to place a carousel in St. Armands Circle is asking for community input before city officials weigh in.
Could a carousel be coming to St. Armands Circle Park? How about a statue of daredevil Nik Wallenda?
The St. Armands Business Improvement District discussed a pair of concepts last week that would add new features to the park at the center of the barrier island commercial hub. The board expressed preliminary support for both.
The carousel proposal came from Jeff Koffman of Ride Entertainment, a company that provides services to theme parks and other amusement facilities. In addition to the carousel, Koffman’s proposal for the park included games, swings and photo-friendly circus-themed features, all within a roped-off area requiring a fee.
