Ferry Park — Attraction in Fort Walton Beach

An excellent park!! This park has a paved, partly sunny and partly shaded walking/running path which winds through various parts of the park and is visually entertaining. There is a 18? hole disc golf course, 3 tennis courts, a hitting wall, several small pavilions/picnic table areas, and a bathroom located within the park. Each time I go, I see a variety of people who seem to be friendly, and always a few friendly pets. The playground has several really cool, fun non-traditional pieces, which even I as a 44 yo enjoyed!

Park has nice tennis courts, handball court, basketball court and nice large mult-purpose sotoccer, football field. And for those who like disc golf, you have a large circuit.

Also a new fitness station next to main parking lot near playground & basketball court. Really nice. Now if we could get some additional lighting for the basketball courts & fitness station and about 4 key locations along the fitness trail. Also, the parking lot could use a major overhaul & upgraded drainage would really put a finishing...
