OCALA, Fla. (May 11, 2018) – The City of Ocala will begin work on a habitat restoration project on the east side of the Fort King National Historic Landmark, 3925 E Fort King St., the week of May 14. This project will focus on the environmental renovation of the park’s seep spring area and will address erosion issues, according to City staff.
To facilitate a safe environment for park patrons, areas impacted by restoration activities will be closed for access to the public until further notice. These areas will be clearly barricaded and marked with appropriate signage. Media and the public will be notified when these areas will reopen to the public.
All other trails will remain open to the public during this time. This construction will not affect normal park hours or operation. The Fort King National Historic Landmark, as well as the Fort King Heritage Center, will continue to be open for visitation.
The Fort King National Historic Landmark is open to the public daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hours at the Visitors Center may vary. For more information, please call 352-368-5533.
