    I'm with Heather, picnic tables are great. Plenty surface area for gear, and they give you a clean place to get in your drysuit. Any reason the tables have to be removed?

    The park wanted this area to have the picnic benches removed,they are moving all the picnic activities to one central area where the pavilions are located. What is pretty cool is that they are turning this space over to us,but they don't want picnic benches back there. We have designed a new tank bench,different than tank benches you've normally seen,sitting at a lower height,accomodate sidemounters well,but will discourage the locals from using it as a picnic location. I think it is pretty cool that they dedicated a space for us that is the closest approach to the spring. Begs to ask, we really do need some help,a few extrat hands would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, since the tables have to be moved, a tank rack of any sort is better than having nothing. Thanks for stepping up and getting this done.

    Kelly, for those that can't commit time to help, is there a way for people to commit funds?

    Thanks for the offer. There is a way to donate at the www.northfloridaspringalliance.org web site,you will see a donate for membership and the general fund. All money goes to the betterment of the park experience,plus we are a 501c3.
