A new way to explore the outdoors is coming soon to the City of Port St. Lucie.

Construction on Wilderness Trail is scheduled to begin in January. Located in Wilderness Park at 2701 SE Westmoreland Blvd., improvements are expected to be completed by Fall 2026 and will include:

  • A 2.1-mile, 10-foot-wide concrete trail that can be used for walking, biking and enjoying nature.
  • A new restroom building with a covered pavilion, picnic tables and a drinking fountain for comfort and convenience.
  • Enhanced landscaping featuring native and ornamental plantings to create a beautiful, sustainable environment.

The new trail will enhance connectivity between The Saints, The Port and other areas along the St Lucie River, furthering residents’ requests for more hiking, walking and biking areas within the City.

This project was supported in part by a $500,000 Recreational Trails grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It reflects the City’s ongoing commitment to ensuring residents have access to parks, green spaces and recreation opportunities across Port St. Lucie.
