By-Line: Julie Murphy, Flagler County Government
Flagler County officials want to inform residents that the main access point for the emergency dune restoration work will shift from Varn Park, slated to reopen on July 31, to Jungle Hut Park. Jungle Hunt Park will be closed beginning on July 28 (Monday) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for the duration of the project.
“The contractor will need another three weekdays to demobilize and remove all equipment from Varn Park, so Varn will reopen on July 31,” said Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley Wren-Key. “They will need to close Jungle Hut starting on July 28, but it will only be closed during operational hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the duration of the project. After 5 p.m., the parking lot access and restrooms will be open. Additionally, the park will be open on the weekends.”
The work is expected to continue through mid-October, pending weather delays and tropical storms. Jungle Hut Park draws Beach Equestrian riders, all of whom will be notified.
