SUMMARY:Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center Ribbon Cutting in Everglades City
DESCRIPTION:Everglades City will welcome a major milestone on December 12 as Everglades National Park hosts a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center. The celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. and is free for everyone to attend. \nThe Park is marking the opening of a beautiful new two-story facility that restores full visitor services to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Irma. Superintendent Pedro Ramos shared that this project represents a renewed commitment to resiliency\, sustainability\, and the long-standing partnership with the Everglades City community. \nGuests can look forward to remarks from National Park Service leadership and local officials\, the official ribbon cutting\, guided tours highlighting the site’s redevelopment and sustainable design\, and short boat excursions offering a water-side view of the new center. \nThe new building replaces the former Gulf Coast Visitor Center lost in 2017. It was designed from the ground up to meet LEED Silver standards and to withstand hurricane-force winds and storm surge. Visitors will notice elevated construction that reduces flooding impacts\, native landscaping and shoreline protection\, improved pedestrian walkways\, an expanded marina basin with floating docks\, and a more accessible kayak launch. \nThe center fulfills the long-planned congressional designation to honor Marjory Stoneman Douglas\, the pioneering author and advocate whose book The Everglades: River of Grass reshaped how the world sees this landscape. Her work played a key role in the establishment of Everglades National Park\, first dedicated in Everglades City in 1947. Naming this facility for her keeps that legacy rooted exactly where it began. \nEvent detailsDate: Friday\, December 12\, 2025Location: Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center\, 815 Oyster Bar Ln.\, Everglades CityAdmission: FreeFor full details\, visit the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center Ribbon Cutting page.
