Jaycee Park - Now Open!

After a major renovation, Jaycee Park officially reopened to the public on April 30, 2026, with a Grand Reopening Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony held on May 8–9, 2026. One of Cape Coral's few public waterfront parks, this 11.8-acre community gem along the Caloosahatchee River has been fully transformed into a modern, accessible, and vibrant destination for residents and visitors of all ages.
