In 2018, Cape Coral voters approved a $60 million expansion of the City's parks and recreation amenities. The approved 15-year general obligation (GO) bond will fund major parks and recreation improvements throughout the city. These improvements include seven new neighborhood parks, the development of three community parks and Yellow Fever Creek Preserve, and improvements to 17 existing parks.

On December 2, 2019, the City Council approved the revised concept plans for the seven neighborhood parks (Resolution 355-19) at a Regular Meeting of the City Council. The public input meetings for the community parks were held in October, November, and December 2019, with revised plans presented to the City Council in 2020.
