A Jacksonville Beach amusement park plans to remain open for at least nine more months before closing permanently to make way for redevelopment into a multimillion-dollar luxury apartment community.

Adventure Landing announced Tuesday it has reached an agreement with its landlord to continue operating at 1944 Beach Blvd. for the 2023 season. Unless it receives another lease extension, the landmark amusement park could close at the end of September 2023.

The popular amusement and water park had been scheduled to close on Dec. 31.
