Pioneer Park

Pioneer Park, a 9.75-acre plot just south of the Botanical Gardens, has been transformed into a vibrant destination along the banks of the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. It boasts a riverfront stage, versatile open-air event spaces, public seating areas, renovated historic homes, and an enchanting children's playground. Future plans include a waterfront restaurant and trails along a conservation tract, with opening dates to be announced.

The boardwalk along the St. Lucie River will extend under the Port St. Lucie Blvd. bridge, providing approximately 3,300 feet of pedestrian walkway along the river.

The grand opening event, Port Fest, took place on Saturday, June 15, 2024.
