Save Our Florida State Parks from Developers


Contact every member of the Florida State Parks Foundation about the recent news article stating that there will be meetings at various state parks around the state on August 27, 2024 - voice your opinion about their proposed changes to add large resorts, golf courses and pickleball courts in our state parks! See the end of the movie for the list of places you can go. They are not having any video conferences about this you must appear in person. Each person is supposed to get 3 minutes to talk. Let's fill these meeting places to the rafters!

Staff members of the Division of Recreation and Parks are apparently set to scatter across the state — from Miami to the Panhandle — for meetings scheduled from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. that Tuesday. Meetings for six parks in Eastern Standard Time will occur simultaneously. Meetings at two Panhandle-area parks, in a different time zone, will start an hour later. There appears to be no virtual option for any of the meetings listed on the state’s public notice.


If somebody wants to make a comment about the changes coming to a state park and they can make the meeting, they’ll have three minutes. Below are the times and locations for each state park proposal.
