Home - North Park Plan

Project Overview

The Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District is actively implementing the vision for North Park, Boca Raton’s future premier regional park, located on the former Ocean Breeze Golf Course property in the Boca Teeca area of east Boca Raton.

The District acquired the former Ocean Breeze Golf Course in 2018 and successfully retired the associated bond in the summer of 2025, nearly seven years ahead of schedule, allowing the project to advance more rapidly into development and construction.

Before initiating design, the District completed a comprehensive Master Planning process that set a long-term framework for the site. The process included evaluating future facilities, recreational uses, programming, operations, maintenance needs, and funding opportunities. With extensive public outreach and Commissioner-led workshops, the plan accurately reflects community priorities. Materials and documentation from this phase can be found in the Previous Events section.

Throughout community engagement, walking and biking trails, preservation of green space, and complementary golf-related elements were repeatedly identified as top priorities. These principles now guide the implementation phase.

Current Project Status

North Park is now in the implementation phase, with multiple improvements either underway or completed. Initial design efforts are focused on the eastern linear portion of the site within the four primary quadrants, specifically the areas identified in the Master Plan as The Hills and The Trails. These areas emphasize trail connectivity, passive recreation, and integration with surrounding neighborhoods. Design coordination with the City of Boca Raton and the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District is ongoing.

Several early activation projects have already advanced the Master Plan vision:

In partnership with Boca Paddle, the District entered into a Public-Private Partnership to develop an indoor pickleball and padel facility. Construction began in June 2025 on a 19-pickleball and 6-padel court complex, with a planned grand opening in 2026.
In July 2025, construction crews began converting former tennis courts along Jeffrey Street west of NW 2nd Avenue into the Traffic Garden, a child-focused bicycle and road safety learning environment. The Traffic Garden is now open to the public, with restrooms, shaded seating, and supporting amenities anticipated in fall 2025.
Dedicated parking has been provided adjacent to the Traffic Garden to support public access.

Additional long-term features identified in the Master Plan, including a field house, skatepark, and aquatic facilities, remain under consideration and may be implemented in future phases, subject to District approvals and funding.

About the Project Team

The Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District partnered with the multi-disciplinary firm Miller Legg to prepare the Ocean Breeze (North Park) Master Plan. Miller Legg led a team of specialized subconsultants, including RRC Associates, Terracon Consultants, and True Club Solutions, working closely with District staff to assess community needs and establish a clear, implementable vision for the site.

Since the completion of the Master Plan, the Miller Legg Team has continued supporting the District during design and implementation. Current efforts involve collaboration with Perimeter Surveying and Mapping, ECS Florida, PGAL Architects, SGM Engineering, and sustainability consultants Spinnaker Group. They are working together to translate the adopted Master Plan into coordinated, constructible design solutions.
