The City of Port St. Lucie recently broke ground on the Stars and Stripes Park in Tradition, marking the beginning of a project that is expected to be completed by early 2025. The park, spanning 26.5 acres, will feature open green spaces, scenic ponds, and themed art installations, including giant star sculptures and inspirational quotes from veterans and first responders.

Mayor Shannon Martin expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Stars and Stripes Park reflects our City’s natural beauty while creating a vibrant location where residents of all ages can gather, connect and create lasting memories. It will be a wonderful resource for this community for years to come.”

Dan Grosswald, Mattamy’s Southeast Florida Division President, shared his excitement about bringing the park to life, saying, “Through its artistic and thoughtful displays, Stars and Stripes Park will build on the immense pride and appreciation residents share across the community.”

The park is not only designed for recreational purposes but will also offer a celestial learning experience, blending art with educational opportunities. Brad Keen, Assistant Director of the Port St. Lucie Parks & Recreation Department, highlighted the city's commitment to providing residents with a variety of options for leisure and education, stating, “Stars and Stripes Park will offer another wonderful option for residents and visitors to enjoy everything Port St. Lucie has to offer.”

The City of Port St. Lucie expressed gratitude towards Mattamy Homes for their contribution of land towards the construction of the park. Once completed, Stars and Stripes Park will be maintained by the City's Parks & Recreation Department, adding to the nearly 50 unique facilities currently overseen by the department.
