Join Citrus County Parks & Recreation on Monday, May 9, 2022, at 10:30am for a ribbon cutting at Fort Island Gulf Beach (located at 16000 W Fort Island Trail, Crystal River, FL). This event will celebrate the official opening of the newly installed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible concrete walkway and beach mat.
200 feet of the concrete walkway are being installed to give ADA accessibility to the north end of the beach; an additional 100 feet of ADA accessible concrete walkway will provide access to the boardwalk. The accessible beach mat will allow an additional 100 feet of access towards the water.
Contingency funds were used to fund $13,653.51 in construction costs. Installation was performed by Citrus County Grounds Maintenance staff, which kept project costs low. Citrus County also received $1,000 donation from nonprofit organization “Once Upon an Ocean.” The organization will also be assisting Citrus County with walkway and beach mat maintenance for one year.
For more information, please contact Citrus County Parks & Recreation at (352) 527-7540.
