The fishing pier along the Orange River at Manatee Park, 10901 Palm Beach Blvd., Fort Myers, will close temporarily beginning July 31 for scheduled maintenance.

The reopening date will be announced at www.leeparks.org/manateepark and on Lee County Parks & Recreation social media.

The rest of the park, including the playgrounds, walking trails, public kayak launch, gift shop and kayak rentals, will remain open and available to the public.
