Billy's Creek Preserve (Park and Filter
Marsh) is a surface water treatment system on 57 acres that is part of
a natural resource preservation plan to control pollutants from
existing and future development as well as provide an educational
community park.
The goals of the surface water system are to: reduce nutrient loading
to the Caloosahatchee River, address localized flooding, integrate the
community on environmental issues, emphasize the importance of
protecting natural resources and provide public education on stormwater
pollution. Passive park amenities have been incorporated into the
project to educate citizens on stormwater pollution as well as provide
public areas for: picnics, hiking, cycling, and kayaking.
Billy’s Creek Preserve is a cooperative effort between the City of Fort Myers, Lee County and the South Florida Water Management District.
