Pinellas County parks will reopen at noon on Saturday, October 26. They were closed due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The following parks are reopening: Boca Ciega Millennium Park, Ridgecrest Park, Sawgrass Lake Park, and Weedon Island Preserve with its Natural History Center. These join A.L. Anderson Park and Philippe Park, which reopened the previous Saturday. However, some areas will still be closed as rangers clean up after the storm.
According to a statement obtained by Pinellas County's official news release, "Trails and amenities in these parks may be closed as rangers continue post-storm cleanup." The Sutherland, Park Blvd., and Belleair Causeway boat ramps are now open for those wanting to get back on the water. Use caution when launching and loading, as the water still has debris.
If your reservation for overnight stays or gatherings was during the closure, expect a refund. Other Pinellas County parks remain closed "until further notice" and should not be entered, as they may be unsafe.
