B. Update - Holiday Isle Park Property Recently Acquired by State of Florida

May 4, 2026 City Council Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is proposing to become the lessee and manager of the Holiday Isle Park property. This 14-acre park is a recently acquired state property. The city's plan focuses on keeping commercial use very limited and maintaining the park's current size. The Board of County Commissioners will review the city's request to manage the park. This item is currently under review by the county. If approved, the city's management could involve site preparation, landscaping, and general park maintenance. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the city regarding potential future needs for park operations and improvements. Early outreach could be beneficial before specific plans and contracts are finalized.
