Council to host public viewing for Riverview Park Master Plan on April 9

The Sebastian Parks and Recreation Board is moving forward with several key projects aimed at enhancing local recreational facilities, as discussed in their recent meeting on March 24, 2025. A public viewing of the Riverview Park Master Plan is scheduled for April 9 at 5 PM in the Council Chambers, allowing community members to engage with the proposed concepts before the upcoming city council meeting.

In addition to the Riverview Park developments, the design phase for the Main Street Boat Ramp has officially begun, focusing on necessary dredging to improve access and usability. This project is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the working waterfront, which recently saw the successful replacement of the fire suppression system at the dry line, funded by a grant.

The board is also awaiting feedback from the St. Johns River Water Management District regarding shoreline stabilization plans, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity of local waterways. The timeline for permitting remains uncertain, but discussions with the agency are ongoing.

These initiatives reflect the board's commitment to improving recreational spaces and ensuring the safety and accessibility of waterfront areas for the Sebastian community. As these projects progress, residents can look forward to enhanced facilities that promote outdoor activities and community engagement.
