Question Deadline 03/19/2026 at 2:00 PM ET Direct inquiries to the following: Procurement Representative Name Cathy Scott, Senior Procurement Specialist 2200 Second Street Fort Myers, FL 33901 Email: cscott@fortmyers.gov Phone: (239) 321-7235 Proposed City Council Approval Date: April 6, 2026 Legacy Island Park is being created by the City of Ft. Myers as a testament to the Dean Family and their contribution of park land to the city. The island is proposed as a recreational destination for boaters seeking a better mooring situation than anchoring out or beaching. This opens up the island for a greater variety of boaters stopping off for a picnic, to explore, or simply rest before pushing on by creating more convenient (and safer) access to the island. The project was broken down into two phases, the first clearing and improving the upland, installing shoreline stabilization, and planting mangroves which was completed in the summer of 2024. The park survived the onslaught of Hurricane Milton and the restoration continues to thrive. The second phase is the in-water work that includes the observation deck and boat dock. The island is considered part of the blue way in Ft. Myers with access from the downtown Yacht basin and upstream recreational facilities in Shady Oaks Park on Billy's Creek. Improvements to Legacy Island Park will provide a unique recreational boating opportunity to the public. The day use docks at the park will provide safe mooring for boaters to explore the island, relax along its shores and shallows, while increasing accessibility for lower mobility citizens who may otherwise not be able to enjoy the river waters off the stern of a boat.
