Adventure Landing in Jacksonville Beach will stay open until Dec. 31. The water and amusement park at 1944 Beach Blvd. was scheduled to close Oct. 31 to make way for an apartment development. Property owner JB Fair Park MF LLC opted to extend the park’s lease through the end of the year after Adventure Landing’s operators, NRP Lease Holdings, requested an extension in mid-September. It was granted in mid-October. “We are booking parties and groups through November and December. We are planning our holiday event now,” NRP Lease Holdings owner Hank Woodburn said Oct. 26. JB Fair Park is working with the city of Jacksonville Beach to obtain zoning changes for a proposed 427-unit apartment community for the Adventure Landing site and land adjoining it. The project is set on 53.8 acres, but 38.9 acres include two ponds and conservation easements. Adventure Landing is 22 acres, but 6 acres are in a conservation easement and cannot be developed. If zoning is approved, the Trevato Group plans to build four three-story buildings with apartments averaging 850 square feet. The development would include a club and fitness area; a four-level, 400-space parking garage; and 454 surface parking spaces. Customers are learning about the new closing date through the Adventure Landing website,
