In addition, the facility's exterior features twelve pickleball courts, six of which are covered for year-round use.

Hear from Eric Gebo, Stormwater & Engineering Architect for the City of Palm Coast, as he provides a brief project update on the construction. Eric explains all the exciting changes happening on-site and what residents can look forward to once this project is complete.

This plan will undergo annual revisions to align with actual costs, bids, and revenue updates.
