Residents and visitors should be aware that the park has not been restored to pre-Hurricane Ian conditions. Restrooms, piers and walkovers have not been repaired or replaced, according to the Parks and Recreation Department. The nature trails are also closed at this time.

Those flip-flops (or some shoes with more coverage) should be worn at all times: debris still washes ashore and may be found in near-shore areas.
