| \n Join Santa Rosa County for the much-anticipated ribbon cutting \;at \;9 a.m. on Sat.\, Apr. 30 \;at \;Navarre Park\, \;8543 Navarre Parkway. \;Santa Rosa County began redeveloping the existing Navarre Park in October 2020 to create a top-notch recreational experience for all ages and abilities. \n\n \; \n\n &ldquo\;We have all been anxiously awaiting the opening of Navarre Park and I&rsquo\;m sure that the new park will be a great attraction for residents as well as visitors for many years to come\,&rdquo\; said Commissioner Dave Piech\, District 4. "\;The enhancements that were made are part of multiple phases of improvements slated for Navarre Park."\; \n\n \; \n\n Special thanks to The Starfish Project NWFL for raising funds for adaptive equipment to be added to the park so children of all abilities can play together. \;Enhancements to the park include an interactive splash pad\, ADA accessible restroom facilities\, all-inclusive playgrounds for two age groups\, expanded parking\, an expanded boardwalk with seating and picnic tables\, landscaping and stormwater improvements. Funding for the park improvements was made possible by a combination of local option sales tax funds\, District 4 recreation funds\, tourist development tax fund and general funds. \n\n \; \n\n # \; \; \;# \; \; \;# \n | \n
