Joe Moody Harris Park

"Has been closed down and no longer have toys for children to play. Sad to see it go to waste."

"Was looking for a place to take the kid on a walk and play. Looked promising but once we drove up, we didn’t even stop. All the gates were locked and grass was about waist high. There was one person on a bike riding around the paved path but I could see no equipment or anything from the road to enjoy."

"Unfortunately the park is still in need of a complete overhaul due to Hurricane Michael. From the equipment I saw it looked like this was a great park till the storm. I saw a couple guys on bikes riding around staring at me the entire time I sat there in my truck looking for another park to go to. It made me feel really uncomfortable so I ended up driving somewhere else. One of them was going in the closed bathrooms with some of their bags so I’m sure it’s not a pretty site in there. I’m guessing this is now a hangout spot for the homeless. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against homeless people especially here in Panama City with what happened. However without the city doing any clean up at this park and people continuing to use it will just make it go even more downhill. I hope the city can get more help to those in need and get this place back up to what it once was."
