The
Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration
program recently approved the expansion of Salinas Park at Cape San
Blas.
The
project, which will use about 3.2 million dollars in BP oil spill
money, will add about 6 acres of coastal property to Salinas park as
well as enhance the parcel for public use.
The
work includes constructing three trail heads near the adjacent road,
adding bike facilities, an elevated boardwalk with observation
platforms, and a trail extension from the existing parking area to
the trailhead.
The
project will also include the construction of a crosswalk in the
current park property to enhance public safety when accessing the new
park extension, as well as add an enhanced ecofriendly playground,
and pickleball court.
The
project was chosen to compensate for a portion of the lost
recreational use in Florida caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill.
