PORT ST. LUCIE – Work is now underway to enhance O.L. Peacock, Sr. Park, making it a more dynamic hub for recreation and community, including a paved trail and covered playground.

Construction at O.L. Peacock, Sr. Park, 1950 SW Dreyfuss Blvd., began Nov. 12 and is expected to be complete by mid-2026.

The project will bring significant improvements to the park, including:

  • A new shaded playground
  • Paved walking trail
  • Covered pavilions
  • Updated landscaping
  • On-street parking

“Public input is critical when designing a new park and/or public space,” said Brad Keen, director of Parks and Recreation. “When our residents share their ideas, we can build spaces that truly belong to everyone. This new park reflects that collaboration, from a themed children’s playground to walking trails; every feature of this park was shaped with people and the environment in mind.”

During construction, the park will be closed. Construction activity could cause temporary inconveniences, and the City appreciates the patience and understanding of nearby neighbors.

This project is funded in part by a $200,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program.
