Work on the Lake Wyman/James A. Rutherford Park restoration and improvements has begun. The City of Boca Raton passed Resolution No. 126-2022 on November 8, 2022, authorizing the agreement for Construction Manager at Risk Services with Burkhardt Construction, Inc. for the project.
As part of the City’s Waterfront Master Plan, this $9.6 million dollar restoration and improvement project to the parks will include:
- Restoration of the existing boardwalks and installation of a new boardwalk
- Pavilion restorations and a new observation pier
- ADA & traditional kayak launches
- Restored canoe and kayak trails
- Mangrove habitat restoration and invasive species removal
- Shoreline stabilization to smooth out current shoreline and add in larger rocks
- New walking trails
The parks and playgrounds will remain open during the renovation with some areas fenced off for the work, equipment, and materials storage.
