Ormond Beach May Get Beach Park

Ormond Beach is the only city in the county that has no parks or large parking lots along the shoreline. That may soon change.

The four-acre site where a hotel once stood, along South Atlantic Avenue between Milsap Road and Harvard Drive could become the first beachfront park in Ormond Beach. The Trust for Public Land, a conservation group, is helping negotiate the final details. It could be done by next week and owned by the city by fall. The county property appraiser valued the land this year at $3.4 million, which is half of what it was just two years ago.

The Trust for Public Lands is planning a phone survey for later this month to figure out if citizens want this. If they do, it would probably be a city and county partnership to buy it.

If you have an opinion, contact the Trust.
