Efforts to restore Crescent Beach Family Park have started on Fort Myers Beach and are expected to be completed summer, weather permitting.<\/p>\n

The Lee Board of County Commissioners awarded a $1.3 million construction contract to Vantage Construction Services, LLC, in December 2025. The project includes:<\/p>\n

Shade structures and utility connections for an ADA-compliant modular restroom facilityIntegrated bike racksA picnic areaA landscaped pedestrian pathFour beach access points, including one ADA-accessible route, to improve park accessibility and the visitor experience<\/p>\n

The park, 1100 Estero Blvd., is closed and the restroom trailers will be removed for the duration of construction. Nearby restroom facilities are available at Lynn Hall Memorial Park.<\/p>\n

The park was damaged by Hurricane Ian. The project is funded by FEMA funds, Regional Park impact fees and Tourist Development Taxes through the Beach and Shoreline Program.<\/p>\n
