In speaking with the city of Orange Beach Coastal Resources office, we have confirmed that work on the Alabama Point Park (aka Seawall Park) facility is underway- and is currently in the engineering and design stage. Once that is complete, then they will be taking bids on the work that is to be performed.
Some might say this is long over due- and don't understand why repairs of the damage that was caused by Hurricane Sally in 2020, over a year ago, have not been completed already. The seawall that protects the west side of Perdido Pass has constantly been under siege by the forces of nature and the destructive power of the gulf waters by even small storms ever since its original construction. When the city of Orange Beach, in a cooperative effort with the state, proposed and built the new park facility a couple of years ago- it was understood that some more extensive work would have to be done eventually to repair the wall on a more permanent level.
When hurricane Sally hit, it took out lighting and utilities, irrigation, a lot of soil and sand as well as landscape- some of the boardwalk itself, and further undermined the existing wall foundation close to the bridge.
