Where life meets the river
For years, the City of Port St. Lucie has long recognized the value of the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, and area residents, business owners and visitors have expressed their desire for more ways to be able to connect with the river. The City was challenged with finding these new opportunities, while ensuring these plans fit in with the natural environment and the City’ s character.
Celebrating the river and the beautiful natural landscape that already makes The Port District a beloved fixture of the community was the key focus in the development of the area. Enhancing the district’ s natural offerings through engaging experiences and attractive destinations bring people closer to their friends and neighbors and closer to nature.
Boardwalk connections are now in place at Veterans Park at Rivergate, Tom Hooper Park, Bridge Plaza, Pioneer Park and the Preserve Tract to the south. Amenities include floating boat docks, a canoe launch and an overwater stage, as well as provide access to dining, entertainment, recreational and educational opportunities. This year, repair work to the boardwalk was completed north of the Port St. Lucie Blvd Bridge near Tom Hooper Park, as was the long-awaited boardwalk connection under the bridge. The result is a nearly 4,300-foot-long river experience like no other in the region.
The City’ s boardwalk brings life to meet the river and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
