The City of Boca Raton has started a community-driven master plan for Memorial Park, the downtown civic and recreation space that holds City Hall, recreational facilities and community areas. The city announced the effort on Nov. 9, 2026.
The plan will look at how the park’s spaces and amenities work together and where the city could improve connectivity and expand community use. Chen Moore & Associates, the consultant selected by the City Council, will lead the six-month process. Its work will cover existing conditions, recreational and open spaces, veterans memorials, pedestrian connections and community needs.
Mayor Andy Thomson said the city wants to hear from residents about a space many people have enjoyed for years. Residents, business owners and other stakeholders can take part through small-group discussions, stakeholder meetings, a public survey and community events. Feedback will shape recommendations for Memorial Park and the Downtown Civic Area, which will go to the City Council for consideration.
The city said no final design, park layout or master plan has been approved. Public input sessions and a design charette are open to the public. Residents who cannot attend a session can visit the city’s Memorial Park information table at one of the listed community events.
