The park was reopened at noon and workers said many people came to enjoy their Saturday, but others came to see the portion that was washed out.
Workers told News4JAX that a lot of work went into making sure driving along that part was safe.
A portion of the road that goes along the river side of the park was permanently closed after Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
Visitors said they were sad to hear about the erosion that shut down a portion of the park.
“We like to come to Hugenot, it’s inexpensive especially in this economy right now, the way gas prices are, it’s a good summer getaway or the day, $5 a vehicle to get in so I was a little sad when they first reported it might be closed, but then the Facebook post came out and had a solution that they would be open by noon today,” Ila Allen said.
Allen said she was at the park by 12:30 p.m.
News4JAX reached out to the city about when repairs will be completed and is waiting for a response.
