ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. The City of St. Augustine will open Coquina Park on Thursday to the public. The city purchased the land to create the park and make improvements to flooding in the Davis Shores community. I love our little park, said Gary Whittaker, who passes the park almost every day on his bike ride. Whittaker has lived in the South Davis Shores area for more than 15 years. In the future, the city will finish some trimming work and also install a dog station with a trash can and bags.
