Park restroom construction to begin

[Special to the Press Gazette]

BAGDAD — Restrooms are coming soon to the popular Bagdad Mill Site Park.

A.E. New, Jr., the design-build contractor, anticipates the project will be complete by the end of March. The restroom facility will be approximately 350 square feet and feature four individual family-style restrooms and a maintenance/storage closet.

When completed, the restroom will be open during park hours, sunrise to sunset.

The budget for the project is $143,000 funded by a combination of Local Option Sales Tax recreation funds, District II recreation funds, Florida Coastal Partnership Initiative Grant funds and a donation from the Bagdad Waterfronts Florida Partnership.

The 21-acre Bagdad Mill Site Park, located at 6953 Main St., in Bagdad, opened in May 2016 and offers a multi-use path, handicap-accessible fishing pier, picnic areas, benches, kayak launch and educational displays.
