Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Columbia is requesting Statements of Qualification from interested development teams to partner with the City in a public private partnership (P3) format to revitalize Finlay Park as part of a multi-stage procurement process. Originally designated as Sydney Park in 1859, the park fell into disrepair after the Civil War and was not used again as a public park until it was reopened in 1990 as Finlay Park. Robert Marvin, who was one of South Carolina’s most prominent landscape architects, designed the park to include a scenic fountain and waterfall, manmade pond, amphitheater, stage, open lawn area, playground and café building. Recent modifications to the original plan include a new playground and section of the Vista Greenway. The site is comprised of approximately 17 acres of prime real estate, (see Exhibit A) and is a critical resource providing recreation, civic engagement and a sense of community. Long considered the crown jewel of the city, Finlay Park has suffered considerable deterioration due to deferred maintenance and challenges in the original construction that have led to infrastructure failures.
