St. Johns County advancing $122.3 million Sheerwater Community Park with library hub and arena

St. Johns County is developing Sheerwater Community Park on Timberwolf Trail, which the presenter said will include a community center with a library hub and multi‑purpose rooms as well as a range of outdoor amenities aimed at residents of all ages. The county estimated the project's cost at approximately $122.3 million and gave an anticipated completion of early 2027.

According to the presenter, outdoor recreation features will include an arena with a covered basketball court, an additional uncovered basketball court, eight pickleball courts, a splash pad, a playground, a skate park and open green space for casual recreation. The presenter said parking and pedestrian areas are included to support daily use and access.

County officials described the community center portion as capable of hosting programs, meetings and community activities; the transcript calls it out as having a "library hub" and multi-purpose rooms. The county did not specify funding sources, operating partners, or a timeline for when individual facilities (for example, the community center versus outdoor courts) would open.

The project was presented alongside the Silverleaf Sportslex project; both have early-2027 completion targets in the transcript. Funding-source details and operational plans were not specified in the remarks provided.
