DeLeon Shores Park, 82 Dolphin Blvd. E., Ponte Vedra Beach, will close completely starting March 1 and remain closed for the duration of its $1.9 million improvement project, which is expected to take roughly eight months.
The four-acre park currently features a playground, a skate park, a tennis court, two basketball courts, a pavilion, a grass multipurpose field and a dog park. The improvement project will include the following:
Completely revamped skate park
Three new pickleball courts with lighting
Upgrades to the multipurpose field
Walking path around the field
Two new pavilions, large and small
K&G Construction Co, Inc. will handle the project.
“This project is going to completely transform DeLeon Shores Park into a more vibrant and welcoming space for our community,” said Tim Connor, project manager with St. Johns County Parks and Recreation. “We’re delivering amenities that residents have asked for, including new pickleball courts, a completely redesigned skate park, upgraded athletic field, pavilions and modern restroom facilities,” he said. “When this project is complete, the park will not only serve today’s families and athletes, but will continue to support recreation, connection and community pride for many years to come.”
