Weeks ago, the town announced it would be closing the beloved and highly trafficked Burt Reynolds Park West in Jupiter to add some new improvements. The plan was to close the park fro June 1 to December 31. But after an outpouring of concern from local boaters and fishermen in regard to the success of their business and leisure surrounding the world of boating, the town delayed the improvements. 

There has not been a new release of when the park will be closed for construction yet, but fear not local boaters, it will not happen this summer. 

DETAILS OF THE NEW PLANS 

The plans for the new park call for adding two-dozen parking spaces large enough to fit a vehicle and boat trailer and to reduce the number of spaces for vehicles without trailers. So, the total number of spaces for vehicles with trailers will increase to 71 total spaces and the total number of spaces for vehicles without trailers will decrease from 26 to 10 spaces. There will also be a new public restroom and a lighted underpass for pedestrians to walk safely underneath the busy road of U.S. 1 to get from the west and east sides of the park.  

As for now, there have been no plans made to change the boat ramps in Burt Reynolds Park.
