Reeves and Public Information Officer Shannon Nickinson discuss how Direction ’25: Pensacola Parks Revitalization project has transformed the city’s parks and community centers after years of generational deferred maintenance. The goal of Direction ’25 is simple…maintain the things that we already have. 

 

In January 2025, the City of Pensacola announced a $21.7 million investment in repairing and maintaining city parks and resource centers throughout the seven districts. This is the most significant investment in our parks and facilities since 1985 and is funded by Local Option Sales Tax (LOST), the General Fund (property taxes), grants, and the Community Redevelopment Agency.

 

Investing in our quality of life and preserving what makes Pensacola special is how we build a city that future generations will be proud to call home.
