More Places to Park at Ft. Hamer Park

Government

Just in time for the Labor Day holiday, Manatee County is bringing more parking to the popular Ft. Hamer Park boat ramp in Parrish. An additional 30 spaces will be accessible at the Hidden Harbor Park truck and trailer parking lot (adjacent to Fort Hamer Boat Ramp) when it officially opens Friday, September 2, 2022. The project has been ongoing “across Ft. Hamer Road” from the boat ramp for months. “This will provide much-needed parking for boaters at the county’s easternmost boat ramp,” said Manatee County Administrator Scott Hopes. “We are pleased to bring this added amenity to completion for the holiday weekend.”
