Reimagining the Bird Island Park Playground
A resident-led effort to renew the playground at Bird Island Park
101 Library Blvd, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082.
Bird Island Park has been a peaceful place for families in Ponte Vedra Beach to walk, play, and connect. The playground behind the park is now aging and ready for a refresh.
Together, neighbors, the St. Johns County Parks Foundation, and St. Johns County Parks & Recreation are working to create a modern, inspiring, and more accessible play space for children of various ages and abilities.
– One mission, County-wide impact –
A Resident-Led Project Supported by the Foundation
The effort to refresh the Bird Island Playground is a resident-led project initiated by Ponte Vedra Beach neighbor and mom of three, Gabi Brown, who has enjoyed Bird Island Park for more than a decade. The St. Johns County Parks Foundation, in partnership with St. Johns County Parks & Recreation, is supporting this community-driven vision and guiding it through the County’s established design, safety, and approval process.
