James F. Holland Memorial Park Amenities, Indian Trails Sports Complex to Close for Seasonal Maintenance

The City of Palm Coast’s Parks and Recreation department will be closing several facilities beginning December 1, for routine maintenance and seasonal closures, which will include both dog parks and the Splash Pad at James F. Holland Memorial Park, as well as the Indian Trails Sports Complex.

The maintenance at the Splash Pad includes cleaning and replacing Life Floor tiles, replacing gaskets in the water features, replacing pump room valves, replacing UV bulbs, performing chlorinator maintenance, servicing the chemical system feeds, and repainting and making repairs to the pavilion. The Splash Pad will reopen for its 2026 season on March 1, 2026. Subsequently, the dog parks at Holland Park will be closed temporarily from December 15 through 22 to undergo aeration and seeding of the grounds with rye grass seed for the colder weather months.

Similar to the dog parks, the Indian Trails Sports Complex will also undergo its seasonal reseeding transition to ryegrass on its 35 acres of fields and will be closed from December 8 through January 5, 2026. Crews have already begun work on this project, applying herbicide and aerating the grounds before adding nutrient-rich green command sand to assist with the process. The four-week closure at the facility will allow the rye seed to germinate and the grass to grow to the necessary 1-2” required to ensure optimum durability during the cold season.

“We want to thank the residents and visitors to our facilities for their patience as we work to complete our annual transition process and make our fields play-ready throughout the colder months,” said Recreation Supervisor Joe Higgs. “As our Bermuda grass grows dormant this time of year, this process brings an added layer of protection and quality that allows our fields to be used year-round, which is a big benefit for everyone who visits our fields and facilities.”
