Boca Raton Red Reef Park Master Plan Update
iller Legg was hired by the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District to prepare a revised Master Plan, Report and Recommendations for Red Reef Park, which includes the unique Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. The Master Plan will address the Park’s existing facilities, structures, uses and demands, as well as operation and maintenance procedures, and will then recommend suitable modifications, improvements, enhancements and additional potential uses. In addition, the Master Plan will include opinions of probable costs for recommended capital improvements, modifications, repairs, renovations or operational maintenance recommendations.
Items of the facilities to be analyzed include, but are not limited to, buildings, pavements, sidewalks, landscaping, boardwalks, dune crossovers, lifeguard facilities, parking control systems and all related infrastructure. It is anticipated that some tasks will be required due to normal deterioration, while others may be the result of aesthetic considerations or requirements to maintain existing levels of service. Both interior and exterior building features may be considered as well as a review and recommendations of potential new buildings and facilities to accommodate existing and future demands of the uses of each element of Red Reef Park. Miller Legg shall review and evaluate comments, suggestions and directions from the City of Boca Raton staff and public service groups such as the Friends of Gumbo Limbo.
