Boca Raton has started a six-month planning process to decide how Memorial Park in Downtown Boca should serve residents in the years ahead. The city said the work is led by Chen Moore & Associates, a firm selected by the City Council.
The park includes City Hall, community centers, athletic fields, the Tennis Center and other public amenities. The consultants will review existing conditions, explore possible changes and gather public input before drafting a long-term vision. The city said no plans or outcomes have been decided. Recommendations will go to the City Council for consideration.
Residents, business owners and other stakeholders can take an online survey now. Public input sessions are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Boca Raton Community Center’s Royal Palm Room, Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Spanish River Library, and Thursday, Nov. 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in a virtual session. A design charette runs at The Studio at Mizner Park, 201 W. Plaza Real, from Dec. 10 to 12, with an introduction on the first evening.
People who cannot attend a session can visit the city’s information table at the Night Market at Sanborn Square on Nov. 5 or the Holiday Tree Lighting at Mizner Park on Nov. 21. Questions can be sent to the city through the Memorial Park website.
