Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Support Your Park

The management and staff of the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument need your help.  As guardians of one of our nation’s great treasures, park employees hope you will enjoy your visit.  We ask that during your visit you pause to consider the impact you are having on the park and consider ways to help us preserve all the park has to offer.

It’s easy to help; here’s how:

  • Don’t litter.
  • Pack out your trash.
  • Clean up where others have not.
  • Reduce, reuse and recycle (recycling centers have been set up throughout the park for your convenience).
  • Use designated pathways.
  • Keep off historic walls and cannons.
  • Don’t pick at the fragile walls of the fort.

Remember: the impacts you create today are seen by your children tomorrow.

Enjoy, but do not destroy!
