Opening ceremony in Burt Reynolds Park postponed due to weather

Body

County officials announced the postponement of the ribbon-cutting ceremony previously scheduled for Friday, August 25 due to inclement weather and a flood watch advisory in effect for the surrounding area. The ceremony will be rescheduled to a later date forthcoming.

The ceremony was originally planned to commemorate the opening of the west portion of Burt Reynolds Park in Jupiter, which was previously closed for renovations. Construction of the project was completed on August 11 and the new amenities are now open for use by boaters.

 Burt Reynolds Park is located at 805 N. U.S. Highway 1 in Jupiter and is operated by the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department. Park operating hours are sunrise to sunset, with the exception of the boat ramps that have 24-hour access and parking available (24-hour period maximum). Boaters requiring more extended stay periods must utilize alternate parking location. A boat trailer parking permit is required. Annual permits may be purchased online at www.pbcparks.com. Daily permits are available using the onsite pay station.
