Local Parks Mark Progress In Renovations
With more than $150 million available for renovations, repairs and construction, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (ADCNR) State Parks System is in the middle of major upgrades and enhancements to help guests embrace and enjoy Alabama’s natural beauty. The projects span the entire state, with upgrades planned at many of the 21 state parks. The Gulf State Park Pier project is on track, with the pier having reopened on August 19. Also at Gulf State Park, the Beach Pavilion’s bathrooms are being redone with a new HVAC system. On the north side of Gulf State Park, the old golf course will become an additional campground with amenities including a pool, clubhouse, putting green, splash pad and playground. The construction will be done in two phases with approximately 118 sites in Phase I and an additional 145 sites in Phase II. Both phases will provide 60- by 20-ft sites with 50-amp electrical service, water and sewer and both back-in and pull-through sites. Other unique features will be included. Meaher State Park at the head of Mobile Bay on the Causeway is receiving a major expansion of accommodations with a new campground area with 45 sites, a new bathhouse, six cabins similar to the ones already available at the park, and a new camp store and office.
