There will soon be some new beach options in Mobile County. 🏖️
A rendering of the future Bayfront Park along the Mobile Bay in Coden, Ala. .Sugar-white sand beaches. A breeze coming off waterfronts. Families flocking for surf, sun, and fun.
Two projects – Brookley by the Bay, south of downtown Mobile; and Bayfront Park, adjacent to Alabama State Route 193 near Coden – are in development and will, for the first time, provide a new beach experience in areas without one.The little-known pocket park has been under county ownership since 1921, with few improvements. But thanks to an injection of funding through a portion of the 2016 BP oil spill settlement, a 10-acre beach and adjoining park is on track to be open sometime next year.
The project was approved a few years ago by a group of trustees that include Blankenship who are charged with assessing and evaluating restoration projects to natural resources that suffered from losses because of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster and subsequent oil spill. The additional NRDA funds are set up to pay for those amenities that include, among other things, a new boardwalk, pavilions, restroom and park office, and a parking area.
