The City of Palm Coast is thrilled to announce the grand opening of the long-awaited Southern Recreation Center and the new Lehigh Trailhead, adjacent to the current Palm Coast Tennis Center. These projects are pivotal steps in aligning with the priorities outlined by the community during the recent countywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

During the event, attendees can enjoy self-guided tours of the Southern Recreation Center and Lehigh Trailhead, giving them an up-close look at the state-of-the-art facilities and recreational spaces that promote health, wellness, and community engagement. Staff will be available to answer questions and share information about the projects.

The facility boasts a Community Building with offices, restrooms, locker rooms with showers, kitchen dining space, public access to 2 multi-purpose rooms, lobby space, an exterior patio, and a balcony. In addition, the facility's exterior features twelve pickleball courts, six of which are covered for year-round use.

The Lehigh Trailhead project transforms the area into a vibrant park, offering a range of amenities to cater to the diverse needs of the community. The park enhancements feature a state-of-the-art restroom building, community gardens with six ADA plots and 12 standard plots, a large and small dog park, ADA-compliant paved parking lot with over 70 new spaces, enhanced lighting, utilities, pavilions, benches, and sidewalks. The Parks & Recreation Department is working with the UF IFAS extension office and their master gardener program to provide an exceptional community garden experience. Those interested in renting a plot in the community gardens can call the Palm Coast Community Center
