Rotary Park

Rotary Park is an 8.5-acre Port St. Lucie neighborhood park at 2101 SE Tiffany Ave. with an 18-hole disc golf course, a fishing lake, an inclusive playground, a basketball court and a large pavilion with power and water.

The city's park page, which dates the park to 1983, lists ADA restrooms, parking, a basketball court, open space, fishing in the on-site lake, the 18-hole disc golf course, a practice baseball and softball field, an inclusive playground for ages 2 to 12, a multipurpose field and a walking trail (City of Port St. Lucie, Rotary Park). The park is marked unmanned, carries the city's autism friendly tag and is open from 8 a.m. to sunset. The Rotary Park page gives 772-878-2277 as its contact number.

The Census Bureau geocoder matches 2101 SE TIFFANY AVE, PORT ST LUCIE, FL, 34952 to the incorporated place Port St. Lucie city, confirming the Tiffany Avenue park sits inside city limits (U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, Incorporated Places layer).

The city's park page names Rotary Park as the home of the Police Athletic League, and city planning documents carry the pairing in the park's name as Rotary Park and PAL.

The amenity list on the Rotary Park page states the designation directly: Home of the Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) (Rotary Park, Detailed Amenities). In the park inventory of the comprehensive plan's Recreation and Open Space Element the row reads Rotary Park - PAL (Recreation and Open Space Element, park inventory), and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update rates it under the name Rotary Park and PAL in its site condition review.

The organization chart in the City of Port St. Lucie FY 2023-24 adopted budget places the Police athletic league under District Support in the Neighborhood Policing bureau, and the budget glossary spells out PAL as Police Athletic League (City of Port St. Lucie, FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget, police organization chart).

Yes: besides the 18-hole course at Rotary Park, the city's McCarty Ranch Preserve page west of I-95 also lists an 18-hole disc golf course.

The McCarty Ranch Preserve page describes an 18-hole disc golf course for enthusiasts alongside trails, paddling and camping on Range Line Road (City of Port St. Lucie, McCarty Ranch Preserve). At Rotary Park the course shares an 8.5-acre site with the fishing lake, the walking trail and the playground, and the park's posted hours are 8 a.m. to sunset. A separate Digital Towns guide covers McCarty Ranch Preserve.

The Rotary Park pavilion is booked online or at the PSL Community Center, and the city caps a reservation at this unmanned park at 175 people, with no alcohol allowed.

In the maximum attendance table for unmanned facilities on the Reservations and Rentals page, Rotary Park is listed at 175, and the same section bars alcoholic beverages and petting zoos at them (City of Port St. Lucie, Reservations and Rentals, Maximum Capacity Per Reservation). The pavilion itself measures 24 feet by 52 feet and comes with seven 8-foot tables, electricity, water, one large grill and one small grill, according to the park page.

For the money side, the citywide pavilion table lists a group pavilion at $20.28 plus tax and a family pavilion at $11.36 plus tax for a 3-hour minimum, with $10.42 plus tax for each added hour; the Rotary Park page does not say which type its pavilion is, and qualifying non-profit and travel ball groups pay $15.21 plus tax for the group pavilion block. As a neighborhood park, Rotary can be booked as far as six months out, and a booking for the following day must be in by 8 p.m. the day before. These figures are the ones posted on October 22, 2026.

Weather and cancellations follow Port St. Lucie's standard terms: renters call 772-878-2277 within five days of a rained-out date, staff must confirm the rain, lightning or 25 mph winds, and outside of weather a cancellation earns a 50% refund only when made at least 15 days ahead.

Because Rotary Park is unmanned, a party there runs under the city's unmanned-park rules: no alcohol, a 175-person ceiling, and entertainment such as bounce houses only through the city's pre-qualified vendors.

The Reservations and Rentals page draws the line between manned and unmanned sites: manned facilities can host groups of 300 or more with administrative approval, while unmanned facilities follow the per-park ceilings in its table (Reservations and Rentals, Maximum Capacity and Special Activities). The $29.67 alcohol consumption permit is valid only at manned community parks, which leaves no alcohol option at a Rotary Park pavilion. Bounce houses, pony rides and similar entertainment must be named when the reservation is made, and the company must be on the department's list of pre-qualified vendors with proper insurance.

The same Port St. Lucie page bans water activities and amusement rides, with an exception for water balloons, and prohibits domestic petting zoos. Where sound such as music or announcements might violate Noise Ordinance #91-43, the renter must get a Police Department noise permit before the event. The department can cancel a booking when attendance runs over what was signed for and flag the renter's account for future reservations.

City plans classify Rotary Park as an 8.5-acre neighborhood park from 1983, count 35,223 resident visits and 15,318 unique visitors, and list its amenities among those nearing the end of their use life.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update inventory lists Rotary Park at 8.5 acres, established in 1983, in the Neighborhood class (Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, inventory and visitation). In the plan's ranking by PSL resident visits, Rotary Park records 35,223, in a minimal-visitation group with Woodland Trails at 45,494 and Woodstork Trail at 22,179. The top of that same resident ranking is Whispering Pines Park at 336,659, followed by McChesney Park at 220,927 and Sportsman's Park at 199,492. A separate visitors count, which tallies unique individuals regardless of how often each returns, puts Rotary Park at 15,318 and describes it with the PSLPRD at MIDFLORIDA Event Center as niche facilities seeing moderate engagement.

In its site conditions review, the same Port St. Lucie plan names Rotary Park and PAL among parks with amenities approaching the end of their use life and among parks whose furnishings are in the same position. The Recreation and Open Space Element places the park in the large neighborhood park class, which it describes as typically 6 to 14 acres with play fields, playgrounds, courts and picnic areas serving a 1 to 1 1/2 mile radius.

The plan's list of potential park site improvements, which it says should go through a public engagement process, gives Rotary Park five items: improve the softball field, batting cages and sand volleyball courts; replace baseline amenities and furnishings; add parking spaces at the northern entrance; add a perimeter walking trail loop; and add more multi-generational amenities. The current Rotary Park page lists a practice baseball and softball field but names no batting cages or sand volleyball courts.
