McGough Nature Park boardwalk replacement
The state delivered $560,000 for phase two of rebuilding the aging boardwalk at McGough (Turtle) Park, which serves 182,000 visitors a year and hosts the city's birds of prey program.
Largo Golf Course improvements and youth golf growth
The golf course is getting a new roof, renovated snack area, and new PA system. Youth on Course brought roughly 300 young golfers this summer, up from 89 last year, and the Footgolf program celebrates 13 years on September 5.
Recreation, Parks and Arts fee increases
RPA fees go up about $5 per item on average — memberships rise from $20 to $25 for residents — raising roughly $484,000. Full cost recovery would require about $120 per item, which the board balked at, though members raised affordability concerns for seniors and fixed-income residents.
