Currie Park Boat Ramps and Parking Lot to Close September 2 for Renovations
WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, the City of West Palm Beach will close the boat ramps and parking lot at Currie Park to begin extensive renovations as part of the $35.5 million Currie Park Redevelopment Project. The redesigned park and new boat ramp facilities are expected to reopen in spring 2027, weather permitting.
Sidewalks and tennis courts are currently still open to the public. Tennis courts will remain accessible from the Flagler Drive side.
During the closure, boaters may access the Lake Worth Lagoon/Intracoastal Waterway from nearby public ramps, including Jim Barry Light Harbor Park (3.1 miles north), Phil Foster Park (4.4 miles north), and Bryant Park in Lake Worth Beach (9.1 miles south).
The project improvements are designed to modernize Currie Park, located at 2400 North Flagler Drive within the Currie Corridor of the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) Northwood/Pleasant City District. The City broke ground on May 6, 2025, strategically keeping the docks open through the busy summer season and the Labor Day holiday.
The project is funded through a variety of sources, including the 2020 Parks Bond, a $16.7 million grant from FloridaCommerce, and additional support from grants provided by FDEP, FIND, FDOS, HUD, along with contributions from the CRA. West Construction serves as the City’s contractor for the Currie Park redevelopment, bringing the reimagined park to life.
