St. Johns County just broke ground on its first park in more than a decade. It’s bringing space to an otherwise cramped stretch of CR-210 near World Golf Village in St. Augustine, and room for more local kids looking to start sports.
“In this area of the county, we don’t really have a facility like this at all,” says Ryan Kane, director of the county’s parks and recreation department.The $12 million park is addressing a sore need for families and sports clubs struggling to find this kind of space.
The Villages Baseball Association is the only recreational sports club in central St. Johns County. It has more than 400 kids on their teams, but only three fields for them to play on.“Families that don’t get in are basically heartbroken that they’re kids aren’t getting to play,” Jones says.
