Jaycee Park Wetlands Restoration Project

The City of Tybee Island is restoring the shoreline of the Jaycee Park Lagoon to improve water quality, strengthen natural wetlands, and protect one of the island’s most loved public spaces. The project includes targeted dredging to restore proper water flow and the planting of native vegetation to stabilize the shoreline and support local wildlife.

Before work begins, City crews will clear existing landscaping in the project area. Construction will take place while Jaycee Park remains open to the public, including the popular disc golf course, which sees approximately 100,000 rounds played each year. Contractors will work carefully around park amenities, walking paths, disc golf features, and mature trees to minimize disruption and avoid damage.

The City is coordinating with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division to secure the necessary environmental approvals before construction begins.

Once complete, the project will result in a healthier lagoon, improved stormwater function, and enhanced natural habitat—while preserving the recreational experience that makes Jaycee Park a treasured community asset.
