> PROJECT INFORMATION
> 
> Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) and its partners, the Florida Department
> of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Suwannee River Water Management (SRWMD)
> and Alachua County, are creating a groundwater recharge wetland park. The home
> of the 75 acre future park is located on the west side of Parker Road
> immediately north the Diamond Sports Park.


ARTISTIC RENDERING OF THE GROUNDWATER RECHARGE WETLAND PROJECT

The project will help replenish, or recharge, the Floridan aquifer, which will
benefit the Santa Fe River, its springs and our community.


SHALLOW BASINS PLANTED WITH WETLAND PLANTS

The park will have a series of shallow basins planted with wetland plants that
are hydrated with high-quality reclaimed water. Natural processes in the
constructed wetlands will filter the water and reduce nutrients to low levels
before percolating the water into the soil and replenishing the groundwater
below. The groundwater recharge will boost aquifer levels and help support flows
at the Santa Fe River and surrounding springs.


SURROUNDED BY PATHS THAT CAN BE USED FOR RECREATION

The wetland basins will be surrounded by paths that can be used for passive
recreation like walking, jogging, wildlife viewing, photography, environmental
education and more. The FDEP and SRWMD are funding partners for the design and
construction of the wetland system. Alachua County plans to partner with GRU to
manage public access and, at a future date, plans to fund and construct
amenities such as restrooms, a playground, and enhanced parking. The park will
be open to the public in 2026.
