Work is already underway to develop North Park, what will soon become Boca Raton's newest major park.

In 2018 the District purchased the defunct Ocean Breeze Golf Course in the Boca Teeca section of east Boca Raton. The District retired the bond in the summer of 2025 - nearly seven years before it was due – speeding the development process.

Before designing North Park, District Commissioners held multiple workshops to garner community input for the features Boca Raton residents would like to see within the park.

Those workshops identified walking trails and bike trails as some of the most desirable features. North Park will also contain golf elements while preserving green space.

The District entered a Public-Private Partnership with Boca Paddle to create an indoor pickleball and padel facility within North Park. Boca Paddle broke ground on the 19-pickleball, 6-padel court project in June of 2025 with plans of a grand opening in 2026.

Around the same time as the Boca Paddle groundbreaking a new feature popped up North Park. In July crews began converting pavement on Jeffrey St. west of NW 2nd Ave. that had previously been tennis courts into the Traffic Garden. Traffic gardens offer children a fun opportunity to learn bicycle and road safety in a visually appealing area free of cars.

The Traffic Garden is open for enjoyment now. Restrooms and a shaded seating area from which parents can monitor their children are expected to be added to the Traffic Garden in the fall of 2025. There is a lot adjacent to the Traffic Garden for vehicle parking.

Other proposed, but yet-to-be-approved, features that could become part of North Park in the coming years are a field house, a skatepark, and aquatic facilities.
