In alignment with neighboring communities and in preparation for storm season, the City of North Port is hosting a monthly Saturday Sandbag Station. Residents are invited to pick up free sand and sandbags at the self-serve station located behind the George Mullen Activity Center and the Larry Thoennissen Athletic Fields, 1602 Kramer Way, where sand has traditionally been distributed in past years.

Sandbag Station dates and times:

  • Saturday, June 14, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Saturday, July 19, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Saturday, August 9, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Please note: Dates are subject to change if a storm is forecasted. Updates will be provided as needed.

Residents are encouraged to bring their own shovels, as only a limited number will be available on site.

After use and once sandbags are dry, store them in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Properly stored sandbags will be ready for use next year or whenever needed.
