For Our Next Amazing Feat, Simmons Road Park
25 JunAn exciting addition to the Amelia Island park scene is coming soon. Once again, 8 Flags Playscapes is in the planning stage to partner with the City of Fernandina Beach to build an accessible playground, walking trail, and other amenities adjacent to the new bike path on Simmons Road. Local children joined a Design and Dream session to brainstorm ideas for the park’s theme. Stay tuned for the details on this project!
Climb, Swing, Hang Out!
21 May
At last, kids from age 5-12 have a brand new play structure at Egans Creek Park, thanks to the help of the Sunrise Rotary Club and the City of Fernandina Beach Parks and Recreation Department. Opened on May 18, this Phase II of the park completes the construction of the Egans Creek Park family-friendly, accessible recreation space for the residents and visitors of Fernandina Beach. Designed by Kompan, the dome play structure is accessible for children of all abilities, with multiple entries, swing features, and many possibilities for physical and imaginative play. The dome sits atop resilient turf to prevent injuries from falling. Don’t wait – come and see it for yourself!

Coming Down the Home Stretch at Egans Creek Park
22 Jan
After what seems like forever, Egans Creek Park is nearing completion. Hurricane Matthew thankfully left most of the park unscathed, but many involved in the construction of the park were diverted to other activities for some time. Most notably, though, the fishing platform and kayak launching dock rode out the storm successfully, both being installed shortly before the storm.
Back on track now, the 1/4 mile walking path has been completed, the Meditation Labyrinth is under construction, lighting has been installed, and fitness equipment is scheduled for placement soon. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for additional site photos and the announcement of the Grand Opening!
We “Touched a Truck”
17 Oct
Saturday, October 15 was a great day to say good riddance to Hurricane Matthew and get a close-up look at some great big trucks! Many of the trucks were the same kind that were in operation during the hurricane and clean up. We’d like to thank all the truck people and all the kids, moms, dads, grandparents, families and friends that came to Central Park for this 2017 Touch-a-Truck event! The day was capped off with a REALLY windy landing of the Trauma One helicopter.
Artists Needed!
