The city of Palm Coast has been awarded a $739,000 grant to help build a Southern Recreation Facility. 

The grant money is provided by the Flagler County Tourism Development Council, and the County Commission approved the award during a meeting on Aug. 15.

The Southern Recreation Facility will be built on the site of the city’s existing Tennis Center, on approximately 63 acres off Belle Terre Parkway near the entrance to the Lehigh Trailhead. 

The first phase of the city’s recreation master plan, built in 2008, features 10 full-size clay courts and a temporary clubhouse. The second construction phase will include both the Lehigh Trailhead project and the Southern Recreation Facility project.

The Lehigh Trailhead project will expand amenities, including community gardens, a dog park and an exercise trail. 

The Southern Recreation Facility will feature a Community Building and 12 pickleball courts, six of which will be lighted and covered.
