Summary
An agency official said the playground at Truesdale Park has been removed, construction of a new parking facility and stormwater work is underway, and the Panama City Community Fund is accepting donations for interior improvements and programming support.
An agency official said Truesdale Park’s playground has been removed and work has begun on a new parking facility and stormwater improvements, and that the Panama City Community Fund is accepting donations to support interior improvements.
“The playground removal has been complete,” the agency official said, adding that construction on the new parking facility and stormwater upgrades has started and represents “an exciting step forward” for the Saint Andrews neighborhood.
The official said exterior work on the park’s building will follow and that a new playground and a pickleball court will be installed. “It’s gonna be a great amenity for you and your family to enjoy right here in historic Saint Andrews,” the official said.
The speaker identified the Panama City Community Fund as the nonprofit set up to receive donations for the park’s interior improvements. “The Panama City Community Fund … was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael as a way for people to support our city during a real time of need,” the agency official said, noting the fund has since supported local projects.
The official cited past use of the fund to help finance scholarships at the MLK Junior Recreation Center and said the fund has evolved to allow citizens and business leaders to help advance local projects. The speaker urged residents to contribute time, voice or financial support as Truesdale Park proceeds through construction and finishing work.
The official did not provide a timetable for completion or specific donation instructions.
