Perdido Kids Park Reopens after Renovations
After several weeks of renovations, Perdido Kids Park reopened to the public with new amenities and improvements for the community to enjoy. The park, located at 10004 Gulf Beach Highway, is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Park renovations included safety upgrades, aesthetic enhancements such as fresh paint and artwork, general repairs and new equipment. Under the supervision of the Escambia County Parks and Recreation Department, volunteers and county staff installed two new swing sets, replaced and repaired wooden structures with long-lasting composite materials, repaired water misters for summer use and replaced handrails. Volunteers also freshened up paint while retaining the park’s naval and aquatic themes, including repairing and painting the Blue Angels riders and aquatic and Blue Angels-themed climbing walls. Volunteers (pictured) included members of the Sweet Bay Garden Club, the Grumpy Old Men of Perdido Bay United Methodist Church, Kiwanis Club and Navy volunteers from the Information Warfare Training Command at Corry Station.
