Mossy Head, Fla – The first public park in Mossy Head is scheduled to open Monday, August 18. District 3 Commissioner Larry Jones announced that the park will open with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:00 a.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. The park sits next to the new Mossy Head Elementary School, which will open the same day. The park is located on Highway 90 in Mossy Head about one mile east of State Road 285. The new 3-acre park is comprised of a walking trail, playground, and picnic pavilions. One of the pavilions is specifically designed to be handicap accessible. Walton County construction crews will add a splash pad within the next few weeks. The park also has drinking fountains and restroom facilities. The $250,000 park was mostly funded with grants from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The new park will also serve future Mossy Head residents of a new development overlooking an 18-hole golf course now under construction less than a few hundred yards away. The park can be expanded in the future, since it rests on 20 acres of undeveloped land which joins neighboring school property. “I’m proud to see this public park be constructed in Mossy Head,” says Commissioner Jones. “I look forward to those in our community walking the new trail, using the new playground equipment and enjoying all of the park's amenities. I hope everyone will join us in celebrating the park’s opening on August 18.”
