New Pedestrian Bridge At Coral Reef Park Is Now Open!

There’s a new amenity at Coral Reef Park!

If you hadn’t noticed, a new pedestrian bridge is up over the C-100 canal, connecting the east and west areas of Coral Reef Park. The bridge was built to provide better access to the restroom facilities on the east side of the park from the playing fields, volleyball courts and tennis courts. Park patrons no longer need to walk over to the old bridge to access the restroom and picnic facilities. They may simply walk across the canal along the new bridge.

This past Sunday, Mayor Cunningham, Vice Mayor Tellam, and Councilmembers Fiore, Cody and Matson officially cut the ribbon on the new bridge, marking the opening of the new park facility! 

Funding for the project was provided by a grant from the Recreational Trails Program, which is a competitive grant program administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. A total of $200,000 was awarded to the Village for the purpose of building the bridge and adding missing connections to the existing walking trails at various locations.  Palmetto Bay also allocated matching funds equal to the grant award. The maps below show the area where the new pedestrian bridge was built and the areas where the new trail sections were added to enhance connectivity.
