PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 Work is set to begin on Torino Regional Park, a 195-acre project that city officials say will become the largest park in Port St. Lucie.<\/p>\n
The city will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 5601 NW North Torino Parkway, between NW Conley Drive and Delcris Drive.<\/p>\n
The park is intended to blend recreation with natural surroundings and was developed with extensive community input, according to the city. <\/p>\n
It is planned around a \u201cPlay Forest\u201d concept inspired by Florida\u2019s environment, and will include amenities for residents of all ages, such as a playground with forest-themed structures and an interactive water feature.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur residents have told us they want more access to green spaces \u2013 places where families can come together, neighbors can connect and everyone can enjoy the vibrant beauty of our community,\u201d Mayor Shannon Martin said in a statement. \u201cTorino Regional Park will be exactly that: a space designed for connection, activity and enjoyment of the outdoors that make Port St. Lucie such a special place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n
The groundbreaking will launch the first phase of development, focused on establishing infrastructure and major features. Planned amenities include:<\/p>\n
