St. Johns County is reviewing plans to redevelop the former Adventure Landing site in St. Augustine.
A commercial application and site plan call for demolishing the park and replacing it with five outparcels, improved shared access, a new parking layout, utilities and upgraded stormwater management.
The amusement park at 2780 State Road 16 closed April 12 after being sold for $3.6 million to a consortium of Alabama and Georgia real estate firms, including M&D Property LLC, IE Property Group LLC and Jones Properties SA LLC.
Jacksonville-based Foresite Group is the civil engineer on the project. The county development review committee is scheduled to discuss it July 8.
NRP Lease Holdings LLC, which operated the park, confirmed the permanent closure in an April 7 social media post, citing a lease that was not renewed.
“It’s with heavy hearts that we share that Adventure Landing St. Augustine will be permanently closing,” the announcement said. “We’ve loved being part of this community — celebrating birthdays, family nights, first dates, and countless memories with all of you.”
Developers have targeted the high-traffic State Road 16 parcel before. On Oct. 1, 2025, the St. Johns River Water Management District reviewed an application to demolish the park for commercial redevelopment, although that application was ultimately closed without a permit being issued.
The St. Augustine location was the last surviving Adventure Landing in Northeast Florida.
The regional franchise’s flagship in Jacksonville Beach, which featured the Shipwreck Island Water Park, closed Oct. 15, 2025. That closure followed years of lease extensions and redevelopment negotiations with Trevato Development Group, which is converting the Beach Boulevard site into a 427-unit apartment complex. A separate Blanding Boulevard site on Jacksonville’s Westside closed in 2021.
