Specialty Shops SouthPark

The Specialty Shops SouthPark has been providing sophisticated and refined shopping and dining experiences to the neighborhood since 1979.

Home to a mix of national retailers and privately owned boutiques and restaurants, the Specialty Shops is a special place to support local.
