PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The preliminary design for the 8.2 acre Sara Sims Park located in the Heart of Boynton was developed jointly by City and BBCRA staff, building on information gathered through BBCRA organized community input meetings. Improvements to Sara Sims included, three small pavilions, one large Amphitheater style pavilion, picnic tables, grills, a new restroom building, site lighting, benches, new parking, fitness paths, landscaping and irrigation, cell phone charging station, signage, and security cameras. 

The Sara Sims Park renovation project was completed in November 2019, however, the community had voiced their disappointment and dissatisfaction with the visibility and functional aspects of the performance pavilion portion of the project. On October 13, 2020, the BBCRA approved $150,000 to be allocated towards improvements including audio stage sound equipment, ADA accessibility and electrical work. 

Construction improvements were completed in December 2021.
