Mangrove Park opens two new boat ramps for public use

> Posted by DAve DiPino at 1:18 PM

Two new boat ramp slips at newly opened Mangrove Park will help alleviate busy Knowles Park, just north of Mangrove Park on South Federal Highway.

The city of Delray Beach announced today that Mangrove Park, 1211 S. Federal Highway is now open to the public.

“It’s now open for public use… We want to get the word out to the public so they can use this gem,” said Alberta Gaum-Rickard, city of Delray Beach Parks & Recreation project coordinator.

Mangrove Park, the newest park constructed in Delary Beach, also has staging docks, boat trailer, regular and handicapped parking spaces, benches, a bicycle rack, information stands and restrooms.

“A large area of the rectangular 4.46-acre park contains sea grass beds and mangrove forest, which will remain undisturbed as native wildlife habitat," Gaum-Rickard said. "Manatees, sea turtles and small tooth sawfish will be protected through the preservation of this valuable ecosystem."

Costs for the park project topped just over $2.6 million. According to Gaum-Rickard, the Palm Beach County Commission and the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) continue to show their support for the city of Delray Beach through grant funding. Palm Beach County awarded $1 million in grant money for the project, contingent upon a $1 million city funding match, and FIND presented a check to the city in the amount of $688,420. FIND will also lease this parcel of land to the city for the purpose and use as a public park.
