To Marco City Councilors re: Tigertail Park

Escorting off-island guests to Tigertail Beach Park has become more of an embarrassment than a pleasure. Tigertail Park’s years of neglect and disrepair should be unacceptable to any responsible administration (restrooms inoperable, subsidiary abandoned, vending machines inoperable, signs unreadable, grounds neglected e.g.). It has obviously become an uncaring Collier County “stepchild.”

I believe that, given proper interest and incentive, Tigertail Park could and should be a positive attraction of Marco Island for both residents and tourists instead of an embarrassment. With that in mind, Counselors, will you explore today’s possibility of Marco Island acquiring Tigertail Park from Collier County, either via purchase or by lease and report back to the community?
