Festival Park Expected To Open in 2023

We’ve been writing about how North Cape Coral has many projects to watch and this is one more.

Concept plans for Festival Park include an amphitheater, multi-use fields and soccer fields, a fitness center, a recreation trail, a pavilion, and more than 5,000 parking spaces. The park — located between Chiquita Boulevard and Nelson Road, and Wilmington and Kismet parkways — would provide the Cape with a large venue space that the city currently lacks.

The estimated construction cost is more than $98 million, including contingency and construction oversight. Public input and park design are slated for 2020, and the park is anticipated to open in 2023, according to the city’s website.

The $60-million bond voters approved last year is helping the city buy the land. Festival Park will see $5.8 million of Go Bond funds.
