Friends of Tigertail Donate Benches to Tigertail Beach Park

A small ceremony was held at the Tigertail Beach Park on Monday, August 16 for the presentation of two benches donated by Friends of Tigertail to the county park. Friends of Tigertail board members were on hand, with the county represented by Melissa Hennig, the Regional Manager of Beaches and Water for the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department. The park playground has recently been beautifully upgraded, and one of the benches was placed near the new equipment so that families could sit while watching their children at play. The other bench was placed on the lower floor of the observation tower, allowing a shaded view of the lagoon beach.

The new playground is an exciting recent addition to the park. With new equipment donated by the county through TDC funds and a lovely shade structure provided through a grant from the Community Foundation of Collier County, the playground area is now state of the art.

Friends of Tigertail and Collier County continue to support improvements to the park and beach with the mission to provide an enjoyable experience for residents and visitors.

To further improve the area, Friends of Tigertail will be hosting one of their quarterly beach cleanups on Saturday, September 18, 2021, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. This is part of the International Coastal Cleanup Day, a worldwide effort to clean coastal locations. Volunteers will be able to see the new benches and playground area, as well as improving the beach environment.
