Agency:<br />

Description:<br />

DRP<br />

Current Management Plan<br />

Approved:<br />

This former military reservation has over one-and-a-half miles <strong>of</strong> beach on the Gulf <strong>of</strong> Mexico and<br />

Grand Lagoon. Visitors can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing,<br />

picnicking and nature study. Two fishing piers, a jetty and a boat ramp provide ample fishing and<br />

boating opportunities for anglers. Full-facility campsites, as well as a primitive youth/group<br />

camping, make this park a popular overnight destination.<br />

Accomplishments:<br />

Resource Management<br />

• Accomplished a burn in every zone <strong>of</strong> the park - two in a heavy urban interface never done in<br />

the past.<br />

Visitor Services<br />

• Increased the Jetties Beach parking spaces by 75 spaces using original footprint by making it<br />

one-way.<br />

Capital Improvements<br />

• Connected two-thirds <strong>of</strong> the park to city sewage, the remaining third is under construction.<br />
