Oakland Park Parks and Leisure Department is responsible for the funding and construction of a pedestrian walkway connecting our neighborhood to Royal Palm Park. The original design phase was 8/1-9/30/06, bid phase 9/30-11/29/06, and construction phase 11/29/06-3/29/07. However, unanticipated engineering challenges are delaying this project. We look forward to safely walking to Royal Palm Park.
According to Brian Hopper, OP Parks Superintendent, there are complications in constructing a walkway to Royal Palm Park that include obtaining easements and shoreline erosion. No dates for construction have been set.
