After sitting mostly unused for years, City of Palms Park is being demolished to prepare the site for future redevelopment in Midtown Fort Myers. The city awarded a demolition contract of roughly $988,000 to clear and stabilize the approximately 21-acre propertywhile considering whether certain historic features can be preserved.
Why It Matters
Future concepts have included a large indoor sports facility along with housing, hotels, restaurants, retail, and public space. Nothing is final yet, but clearing the old stadium is the first major step toward putting the property back to productive use.
