🚧 What’s Happening at Roy L. Rogers Family Park?
You may have noticed construction underway at Roy L. Rogers Family Park, home of Wahoo Bay. This project is all about making the waterfront stronger and more resilient for the future. 🌊
As sea levels rise, waterfront areas in South Florida face increased impacts from high tides, storm surge, saltwater, and coastal flooding. The improvements at Roy L. Rogers Family Park are designed to help protect the park and its waterfront infrastructure from these changing conditions.
The project includes raising and strengthening the seawall, elevating the waterfront promenade, rebuilding fishing piers and docks, and improving utilities and lighting along the waterfront.
🌊 What about Wahoo Bay?
Wahoo Bay is not being harmed or disturbed by this construction. While Wahoo Bay and its SEAHIVE™ structures are located directly along the seawall, all construction work will be performed from land. The work has been planned so the underwater habitat and SEAHIVEs can remain protected throughout construction.
During Phase 2 of construction, land access to Wahoo Bay will be temporarily unavailable while work is completed in this area. However, Wahoo Bay will remain accessible from the water side during this phase.
This project isn’t about expanding or redeveloping the park. It’s about protecting what’s already here and preparing it for the future.
💙 These improvements will help Roy L. Rogers Family Park and Wahoo Bay better withstand future coastal conditions while preserving this special place for recreation, education, and marine life for years to come.
