North Myrtle Beach Parks & Rec

North Myrtle Beach Parks & Recreation is the city department responsible for all of North Myrtle Beach's parks, recreational facilities, and family programming — making it an important resource for families spending a full week in the North Myrtle Beach area who want to understand what's available beyond the commercial tourist attractions.

The department's main office at 1030 Possum Trot Rd is where families can register for programs, get information on all NMB parks, and learn about seasonal events and family activities organized by the city. The 4.6-star rating from 72 reviews reflects positive experiences with the department's facilities and staff.

For vacation families, the most valuable use of North Myrtle Beach Parks & Rec is as an information resource. Visiting nmb.us/164/Parks-Recreation or calling 843-280-5570 can surface organized programming — swim lessons, youth sports, family events — that might not appear on standard tourist searches but provide real vacation value.

The recreation center component likely offers indoor facilities that serve as a rainy day resource. Calling ahead to ask about visitor access to gym facilities, courts, or pool areas (if applicable) can open options that aren't evident from the listing alone.

Business hours are weekdays 8AM-5PM, Saturday 8AM-12PM, and closed Sundays. For park access to individual NMB parks like McLean Park, those parks' own hours apply separately.
