New Driftwood Estates County Park to open

Walton County District 5 Commissioner Cecilia Jones and neighborhood leaders of Driftwood Estates in Santa Rosa Beach will officially open the new Driftwood Estates County Park at 10 a.m. Nov. 19 November 19.

The ceremony will be located on the grounds of the new 10-acre park located on East Shipwreck Road in Santa Rosa Beach. This event was originally planned for Nov. 12 by Commissioner Jones, but severe weather from Hurricane Ida required county leaders to move the event.

Construction of the $181,167 park began in April of 2008 and includes a basketball court, a multi-use field, playground, restrooms, barbecue grills and a perimeter walking path. Private contributions funded fifty percent of the construction costs, and the park will be open to the general public from sunrise to sunset. 

Commissioner Jones invites the public to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.  From the intersections of U. S. 98 and U.S. Highway 331, take U.S. 98 west towards Miramar Beach. Take right onto Mack Bayou Road. Take left at next stop sign onto Harborview Road.  Turn right onto East Shipwreck Road.  Park will be a few hundred yards down on the left.
