🎉 New Playground Equipment Installed at St. Mary Shoals Park! 🎉
Baker County is excited to announce the installation of brand-new playground equipment at St. Mary Shoals OHV Park, located at 9316 Odis Yarborough Road, Glen St. Mary, Florida.
This addition is part of the County’s ongoing commitment to improving our parks and recreational facilities for families and visitors to enjoy. Over the last few years, Baker County has focused on upgrading at least one county park each year, providing much-needed new playground equipment that enhances the experience for our residents and guests.
We are incredibly grateful to see another park improvement come to life and look forward to sharing even more exciting park upgrades in the coming weeks!
A special shout-out goes to Kayla Riggs from County Administration, who graciously volunteered to give the new playground a "test run" and confirmed that it's ready for fun! 😊
Thank you to everyone who helps make these improvements possible as we continue investing in the quality of life for Baker County families.

In order to produce a safe and healthy American food supply, we need the tools to do so. Thank you, Sec. Rollins, for being a champion for farmers. U.S. Department of Agriculture
