The west side of Liza Jackson Park in Fort Walton Beach, including its boat launch, is expected to close Aug. 3 to make way for a $3.1 million renovation project.
- The work will include a new 832-square-foot restroom building, new parking for vehicles and boat trailers, a redesigned boat launch area, new sidewalks and stormwater improvements. The project is expected to take approximately six months to complete.
The city awarded the bid to H&T Contractors LLC of Freeport.
Funding for the project will come from the Fort Walton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, the Infrastructure Surtax fund and a $1 million contribution from Okaloosa County through its Tourist Development Tax fund.

This should be done in the winter. There’s a shortage of parking for boat trailers in the area. Why close it down during the boating season? Okaloosa county is doing the same thing at the Seaway ramp in Cinco Bayou
