LIFEGUARD HEADQUARTERS & ADMINISTRATION CENTER

Fast Facts

Designed to enhance
the existing Sun Splash Park (shown above),
this 22,000-square-foot facility replaces the Main Street and Daytona Beach Shores lifeguard stations -each at least 40 years old - and the administrative offices at 440 South Beach St.

The lobby in this high-quality administration building publicizes area businesses. The top floor can be used for community meetings and business recruit-ment, in addition to government functions.

Best of all, it has a terrific ocean view!
DIRECTIONS

The Lifeguard Headquarters and Administration Center
is located at the north
end of Sun Splash
Park at 515 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach.
