Ribbon-cutting to be held for Crystal Lake
The city of Cape Coral is set to open another facility part of the Parks GO Bond.
The public is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Crystal Lake Park on July 18 at 9:30 a.m.
The ceremony will take place at 4307 N.W. 36th St., and no reservation is required to attend.
“Every time the city introduces new amenities for our residents, it’s an exciting milestone,” said city spokesperson Kaitlyn Mullen. “Crystal Lake Park adds valuable green space to a part of Cape Coral that has long been in need of more recreational areas.”
Crystal Lake Park features a beach on which to relax, a hilltop lookout with “breathtaking” views, and boat, kayak, and canoe launches to explore the lake. You’ll also find a shaded picnic area ideal for relaxing meals, convenient fitness stations, and a kids fitness playground to keep little ones active and entertained.
Located in the north Cape, the park is another way to serve an area that is booming with new residents, city officials said.
“The area’s rapid growth has created increased demand for local amenities, and the city recognizes that providing parks in this region supports balanced development, improves residents’ access to recreation, and enhances neighborhood appeal,” Mullen said.
According to the city’s website, the park has a budget of $10,293,147, and states the budget is “on track.” The park is being contracted by Pavement Maintenance, LLC.
As for future projects, Mullen said the city anticipates that Tropicana Park will be completed this winter, further expanding recreational opportunities for North Cape Coral.
