Bert Winters Park sees boating improvements

County officials will cut the ribbon to reopen Bert Winters Park’s boating area at 9 a.m. on July 25 after being closed for construction since September 2017. The ceremony will be open to the public.

Improvements include the renovation of existing boat ramps, three floating staging docks, 45 additional car/trailer parking spaces, and new ADA-compliant restroom facilities. Additional features include the enhancement of vehicular circulation, reconfiguration of existing parking spaces, storm-water management improvements, as well as associated site work and infrastructure.

Representatives of collaborating agencies will also join the event, such as the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “Residents are excited about utilizing the increased boater access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean,” said District 1 Commissioner Hal Valeche.

Bert Winters Park is located at 13425 Ellison Wilson Road in Juno Beach. The park is open daily from sunrise until sunset. A boat trailer parking permit is required. Annual permits may be purchased online at pbcparks. com. Daily permits will be available at Bert Winters Park using the onsite pay station.
