Gateway District:

Admiral Mason Park

Located at Bayfront Parkway and 9th Avenue, the park was the site of a swamp that formed the border of the original Pensacola town site.

Admiral Mason Park is located on Bayshore Drive adjacent to the Seville Historic District. The area above is a holding pond for storm water and not usually a skiing location.
