There will be a dedication ceremony for the new Island View park east of Carrabelle on August the 9th

There will be a dedication for the new Island View park in August.

Work on the park began last October and should be nearly complete early next month.

There was once a hotel on the 7.2 acre parcel but the land was purchased by Franklin County and is being turned into a public park.

Over a million dollars is being spent to restore and improve the two piers and to build a handicapped accessible boardwalk.

There will also be a ramp for canoers and kayakers, a central plaza ,and a concrete parking area.

The dedication ceremony is currently scheduled for August the 9th at 10 AM.

The public is invited to attend.
