Millender Park in Eastpoint will be
getting some upgrades to make it more handicapped accessible.
Millender Park is next to the Estuarine
Research Reserve Nature Center.
Kim Wren, assistant manager at the
Nature center, said the Research Reserve intends to do some
improvements to Millender Park to make it more ADA accessible.
The funding for the work will come from
the Florida Coastal offices ecotourism initiative.
The work will be done in phases; phae
one would begin in July and include enhancing the handicapped parking
and installing a sidewalk to the picnic table paviliions at the park.
Phase 2 would include removing a
portion of Millender Street near the park that was damaged during
hurricane Hermine and adding a vehicle turnaround area.
In the future the reserve would also
like to add a kayak launch at the beach and an ADA accessible 20 by
20 observation platform overlooking the water.
The Reserve said it will also continue
work on its living shoreline project in that area.
County Commissioner Smokey Parrish said
he would like the Reserve to put signs along the living shoreline
project informing people not to eat any oysters they might find
growing there to make sure no gets sick from eating an oyster from
unapproved waters.
