Map of Cinco Bayou's Parks
Winn Davis Park stands as the home of Cinco Bayou's New Town Hall and abounds with majestic oaks, a manicured lawn, picnic tables upon the deck, and a spot to drop in a fishing line. Constructed in 1989, Town hall is a significant architectural asset to the community because of its neo-Georgian style that includes a strong contemporary influence. The interior features four columns that support an atrium design feature that accents the inverted ceilings and a four-sided windowed cupola. You can find Winn-Davis Park at the corner of Yacht Club Drive and Kidd Street.
On October 8, 2015, Daniel Laird from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection presented a check for $50,000 to the Town of Cinco Bayou for improvements to Winn Davis Park such as: picnic tables, handicap accessible ramp, dock, and re-paving of the parking lot. Some of the improvements are shown in the picture of the park below.
