Recreation Updates

Updated October 4, 2021


SILVER PALM PARK CLOSURE

Construction is set to begin at Silver Palm Park on Tuesday, September 7, 2021.

For the safety of the public, during the initial stages of construction at Silver Palm Park, which will require excavations and numerous pieces of heavy equipment, the park will be completely closed to all pedestrian, vehicular and boat traffic.

Silver Palm Park will be fully closed for approximately 6 months. The contractor understands the desire and importance to have the boat ramp open as soon as possible and the city will continue to keep the residents updated on the progress of the project. Boat permits will be sold upon the reopening of the park and boat ramp. Learn more at https://www.myboca.us/1773/Wildflower-Silver-Palm-Park-Site. 

SAND PINE PARK CLOSURE

Sand Pine Park is scheduled to close on September 20, 2021 until the early Spring/Summer of 2022 for facility upgrades. Learn more at https://www.myboca.us/1399/Road-Municipal-Projects.
