On July 17, St. Johns County joined the St. Johns Cultural Council and Vilano Beach Main Street for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the reopening of Vilano Beach Oceanfront Park (2752 Anahma Drive, St. Augustine) following its $1.8 million renovation.
The renovation project included:
• Improvements to the northern walkover to bring into ADA compliance

• Construction of a covered performance stage with terraced seating
• Construction of new outdoor showers
• Construction of changing stations
• Installation of a new climbing play structure and recreation features
• Renovation of the existing south walkover

Matthews DCCM (formerly Matthews Design Group) and POND were the design consultants on the project, with E.B. Morris General Contractors, Inc. leading construction. St. Johns County funded the renovation project’s $1,814,400 budget through Park Impact Fees and the Tree Bank Fund.
