Construction at the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park is steadily progressing as its new open-air pavilion takes shape.
Once completed, the pavilion will provide an event and education space at the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park, which is located at 2015 NW 21st Street in Ocala. In addition, the pavilion will include restrooms and drinking water fountains.
Throughout the construction of the pavilion, which began in late August, the park will remain open to visitors. According to the City of Ocala, some trail entrances and educational exhibits located near the construction area will remain closed until the pavilion is completed.
In an update on November 30, Ocala Wetland Recharge Park stated on its Facebook page that construction of the pavilion is “halfway to the finish line.”
As construction continues on the pavilion, the parking lot, public bathrooms, and drinking water fountains located at the park will remain open. Visitors can find a map of open trails on the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park’s Facebook page and webpage, as well as at the information station located at the park.
There may be dust and noise around the construction area. The city states that all necessary actions will be taken to prevent disturbances to wildlife.
