New restroom facility progressing at Lynn Hall Memorial Park
Construction of the new restroom facility at Lynn Hall Memorial Park is advancing. The new, elevated 4,114 square-feet building will have one platform to accommodate the Americans with Disabilities Act and to assist beachgoers with a disability in getting up to the elevated floor.
The work is expected to be completed in spring.
According to Lee County spokesperson Tim Engstrom, the restroom facility could open this spring while work on the Fort Myers Beach Pier continues into the fall. The work on the pier is expected to be completed by September.
The expectation is that a portion of Lynn Hall Memorial Park and its parking lot could be opened while the work on the pier continues.
The old restroom facility was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022, along with the pier. The county was previously using portable restrooms at the park. The county now has portable restrooms at Crescent Beach Family Park nearby.
