Dedicated in May 2011, George Core Park extends from the sandy shoreline of St. Joe Bay to Miss Zola’s Drive. Shaded on the east and west by stately pines, and anchored by the Cape San Blas Lighthouse and it’s three related buildings, a beautiful small lake and event stage, the George Core Park has become the ideal venue for a number of Port St. Joe’s festivals and other special events.
The calm, shallow bay waters and natural sea bed extends for hundreds of feet into the bay at the park’s west end, offering an excellent spot for adults and children to play, fish, or just cool off on a hot afternoon. The park also offers a bayside covered picnic table where visitors can enjoy a refreshing lunch in the shade. Bay Walk Trail winds its way through the park, connecting north to Jetty Park and south through Maddox Park to end at the ever-popular boat ramp located at Frank Pate Park.
