There’s a new reason to take the kids for a day trip up to Wakulla Springs.
Earlier this week, the Florida State Parks Foundation joined Duke Energy Florida and the Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park, to unveil a new, state-of-the-art accessible playground at Wakulla Springs State Park.
The new playground is located a short distance from the park’s beachfront along the Wakulla River, and includes several accessible play elements and a wide path to accommodate mobility devices.
The playground’s centerpiece is a large glider styled in the fashion of the park’s iconic river tour boats.
The new playground cost about 72 thousand dollars to purchase and install.
Duke Energy Florida donated $44,000 toward the project, while the Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park contributed $15,000 and the Foundation funded the remaining balance.
The playground is open during regular operating hours and access is included with park admission.
This is the latest in a series of collaborations between the State Parks Foundation and Duke Energy Florida.
In recent years, Duke Energy Florida and its foundation have donated more than $300,000 to state parks amenities and projects, including all-terrain beach and trail wheelchairs, a new strike team trailer for the Florida Park Service’s emergency response teams, and more than 100 water bottle refilling stations at parks across the state.
