Notes

Abstract:
A view of the concession stand at Virginia Key Beach Park prior to the start of the renovation project. Virginia Key Beach Park was opened in 1945 and was known as "the colored beach" during the era of racial segregation in the South. The park was closed in 1982 due to high maintenance and operating costs and the park subsequently fell into disrepair. In 1999, a group of citizens formed the Virginia Key Beach Park Task Force to resurrect and restore this historic site.
