Home to the only natural warm spring in Florida, the spring at Warm Mineral Springs Park maintains 85-87 degrees year-round and is purported to have one of the highest mineral contents of any natural spring in the United States. The park averages more than 135,000 visitors per year from all over the world, who travel to swim in its mineral-rich waters that have rumored healing qualities.

The City has approved a capital improvement project to restore the historic buildings and improve utility infrastructure and parking lot. The project is currently out to bid, and it is anticipated that work will commence in the Fall of 2022. You can learn more about this exciting project at www.CityOfNorthPort.com/WMSPMasterPlan.
