The Rosser Lakes preserve is now open. Located along Rosser Boulevard, just south of Gatlin Boulevard and east of Interstate 95, the preserve offers visitors a chance to enjoy canoeing or kayaking, fishing from the shoreline or enjoying trails for hiking or biking. The nearly 105 acres were once planned for homes, but the City acquired them through the Naturally PSL Land Bank, an initiative focused on conserving and activating land throughout Port St. Lucie.
Construction at Duck Court Park, 452 SW Rad Court, began in January and will feature shaded pergolas, a decorative three-tier fountain, ADA-accessible picnic tables and benches, bike racks, improved sidewalks and a paved walking and biking path.
