Park Welcome & Discovery Center

On Track for 2021 Opening

On Monday, March 23, Governor Ron DeSantis ordered the indefinite closure of all Florida State Parks, including Lovers Key State Park (LKSP) just off the southern tip of Fort Myers Beach, to assist in the fight against the coronavirus  COVID-19 international pandemic, under the Center for Disease Control guidelines to maximize social distancing and avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. While the Governor’s directive closed LKSP to the general public, one extremely important project continues! “The Governor’s action did not stop the construction of our long-awaited Welcome & Discovery Center (WDC),” reported LKSP Manager Katie Moses! “We are installing the ‘Mangrove’ pilings right now; we call them that because they resemble mangroves for an artsy look to the base of the building. Once these are in place, construction crews will start on the actual form of the building. At that point, we will begin the framing for the elevated floor and then the walls, as well as the electrical and plumbing elements. The preliminary underground utilities are in place, with work yet to come with Florida Power & Light, along with water and sewer that will happen later this spring.”  Full story and article resource
