The Craig Park Seawall Phase 1 project aims to protect the park from tidal flooding by raising elevation around its perimeter, including replacement of failing sidewalks and seawalls at a target elevation of 5.0 feet or more above sea level, replacement of the existing observation deck, addition of a grassy berm on the western side, replacement of seawall caps, protection of the War Memorial with enhanced drainage, and installation of drainage inlets and stormwater check valves. The project is funded by a $2 million Federal Government grant secured through former Representative Gus Bilirakis, which covers the waterfront adjacent to Craig Park from the boat ramp to the observation deck. The remaining waterfront on the north side of Spring Bayou is designated as Phase 2 to be completed later.
