Escambia County invites the community to a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, April 2 at 2 p.m. celebrating Jennings-Gonzalez Park, the newest park addition in the District 5 community. The event will take place at the new park, located at 1552 Goldenrod Road. One or more Escambia County Commissioners may be in attendance.
Jennings-Gonzalez Park features a playground with a slide, numerous climbing structures, and additional play features for all ages. The park opened to the public on Feb. 10 and is open each day from sunrise to sunset.
Jennings-Gonzalez Park is Escambia County's second park addition in District 5 recently, following the newly-opened Paper Park near International Paper.
"This new park offers even more opportunities for children and families in District 5 to get outside and play, which is a critical part of creating a wonderful quality of life for our residents," District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said. "I appreciate the Jennings family and the greater Gonzalez community for their support and continued contributions in District 5, and I'd like to thank our Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments for continuing to add amenities like this that our residents will enjoy for many years to come."
