Flagler County, FL - Several Flagler County parks remain partially or completely closed due to flooding and damage caused by Hurricane Irma and recent storms in the area, according to Flagler County officials.
“We know it is inconvenient for our residents and visitors, but we have to make certain that conditions are safe,” General Services Director Heidi Petito says. “The good news is that the bulk of our parks are open and fully operational.”
The three parks that are completely closed because of floodwaters are Princess Place Preserve, Bull Creek Campground, and Haw Creek Preserve – Russell Landing.
River to Sea Preserve, Shell Bluff Park, and Varn Park are partially closed. Below is a list of which areas of those parks are open and which are closed:
- River to Sea Preserve is open only on the east, beachside portion, and everything west of State Road A1A is closed.
- The southern portion of Varn Park, which includes the ADA walkover, is closed. The northern side of the park is open.
- The boat ramp at Shell Bluff Park is closed, but the remainder of the park is open.
“We have crews working hard to make the parks safe and enjoyable again,” County Administrator Craig Coffey explains. “We thank you for your patience.”
