Accomplishments
This year ’ s Citizen Summit was held Feb . 1 and it was another incredible turnout . There were more than 1,000 people who attended , spoke with City staff and community partners , and provided their input . The event is vital to the City ’ s strategic planning process but it also is an invaluable opportunity to have people engage with City staff and get a better understanding of how Port St . Lucie operates .
There was an amazing turnout on January 29 at Skate City as City officials cut the ribbon on the revitalized skating area located in Whispering Pines Park . Skate City closed to skateboarding in 2010 . However , a recent resurgence in interest by local roller and in-line skaters sparked a renewed commitment to breathe new life into the space . The revitalized Skate City is geared toward outdoor roller and inline skating . This is the City of Port St . Lucie ' s first outdoor , public skating rink .
