Escambia County Natural Resources Conservation Division, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the City of Pensacola have partnered together to create a geocache tour designed to route residents and visitors to the area’s environmental restoration projects and unique environmental habitats.
The new Admiral Mason Park, recently unveiled by the City of Pensacola, is located in the Hawkshaw Lagoon area along Pensacola Bay, at the intersection of 9th Avenue and Bayfront Parkway. From the 1950s to the early 80s it was the site of a baseball stadium called Admiral Mason Park. The ballpark was named in honor of Charles P. Mason, a Vice Admiral in the United States Navy and two-time Mayor of Pensacola. In January 1991 the City of Pensacola appropriated land of the former stadium's site for the planned Wall South memorial, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The remaining property was recently transformed from a passive recreational field into a beautiful 2.35-acre pond, with two fountains, walkways, and dozens of trees and other landscaping. The park’s pond serves as a stormwater treatment facility for the surrounding 31 acres, protecting Pensacola Bay from untreated stormwater runoff.
