Hurricane Isaias Parks Recovery Update
Recovery efforts continue across City parks following damage caused by Hurricane Isaias. Crews are working to assess storm-related impacts, coordinate repairs and restore affected facilities. Some facilities and programming remain temporarily closed, relocated or canceled.
Gull Point Resource Center and East Pensacola Heights Clubhouse remain closed as damage assessments and recovery coordination continue. Some programs have relocated to alternate facilities to help minimize disruptions and maintain access to community activities. Reopening dates have not yet been determined.
We appreciate the community's continued patience and understanding as we work toward restoring our facilities and returning programs to their regular locations. Additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
