Talk with anybody who has visited John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, and they’ll tell you stories of their experiences they enjoyed with their family. As a world destination park, we seek to create the most memorable family experiences possible to grow an appreciation for our beautiful Florida Keys ecosystems.

The current playground at the park is in need of replacement, and a new and improved playground has been designed to replace it. The new playground will be located next to Grouper pavilion over the wooden bridge, across the street from the current playground’s location. The playground features custom park-specific climbers, a soft surface for children to run on, and will be fenced in. Additional educational signage will be tied into the playground area, making it a fun and educational space for families to make memories.
