On a chilly day in Fort Walton Beach, members of the City of Fort Walton Beach’s Parks and Recreation crew braved the cold waters at Liza Jackson Park to repair the boat ramps.

The ramps, which had developed two large cracks across the concrete slabs, posed a potential hazard for boat trailer tires. In order to fix the issue, the team purchased 70 bags of concrete and worked to fill the cracks and voids in the ramps.

The team, consisting of Andrew Brickner, Brian Allen, Glenn Jones, Kyshone Davenport, Thomas Braden, and Ryan Snitker, was praised by the city for their hard work and dedication to ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the City of Fort Walton Beach.
