McGough Nature Park Boardwalk Survey

The McGough Nature Park boardwalk needs to be reconstructed to maintain durability, safety, and comfort. City team members are applying for a grant to fund significant updates to the boardwalk. Please share your thoughts on this 5-minute survey to help inform the grant application and park services. The survey will close in late January 2023.

If this project is funded, rehabilitation of the boardwalk would mean it may be closed for 8-14 months, depending on construction schedules and materials. Other sections of the park will remain open, including walking paths outside of the boardwalk as much as possible.

For questions, please reach out to Chris Hawks at chawks@largo.com or 727-586-7452 Ext. 7452.
