DISCOVERY CENTER
The construction of the
$1.6 million Caladesi
Discovery Center on
Caladesi Island in
Dunedin began in September
2020 and is expected to be
completed by this summer.
The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection
is providing $724,000 of the
total cost, and the Friends of
the Island Parks group has
raised more than $900,000
for the open-air observation
tower that is being built on
the old site. The new deck
will be 25 feet above ground
level to provide visitors a
panoramic view of the natural
beauty of this barrier island.
To comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, there will
be an elevator. The Friends
group is continuing to accept
donations and to raise funds
for exhibits and displays at
the center and to assist with
elevator maintenance.
