Tower Rebuild

The Hobe Mountain Observation Tower at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, South Florida's highest point at 86 feet, is currently closed for a significant restoration project. This iconic structure, known for its breathtaking views of the park, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean, is due for a complete overhaul to meet modern safety standards and to enhance the overall visitor experience.

Initial estimates suggest that simply repairing or rebuilding the tower as it stands would cost between $150,000 and $200,000. However, to truly elevate the experience and ensure accessibility for all visitors, including features like an accessibility ramp, the costs could rise significantly. We see this as a unique opportunity, with enough community support, to create something even better—a state-of-the-art observation tower that surpasses the original in both function and form.
