Tradition Regional Park, Port St. Lucie

No part of Tradition Regional Park is open to the public yet: the City of Port St. Lucie lists the park as Coming Soon and under construction, with no opened facilities.

The city's Tradition Regional Park page carries a construction announcement at the top and links three project videos: a groundbreaking dated July 17, 2024, a Regular City Council Meeting dated Jan. 27, 2025, and a Construction underway clip dated Feb. 23, 2026. Its photo gallery holds aerial construction images of the BMX area alongside a concept diagram and renderings.

Port St. Lucie's 2025 parks master plan update files the site under its Undeveloped category, which it defines as sites selected for future parks that are in planning, design or construction but not open to the public as of December 2024 (Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, 2025). The same inventory notes that Tradition Regional Park is currently in design, with an intended type of Regional Park. Status changes, including any opening announcement, are posted on the city park page.

The park site is at 13120 SW Tradition Parkway, Port St. Lucie 34987, which the city park page locates a quarter mile from where Tradition Parkway ends at the Fern Lake Roundabout.

Both the address and the roundabout landmark come from the Tradition Regional Park page, which gives 772-878-2277, the Parks and Recreation line, for questions. The city's July 2024 groundbreaking release places the site on the western portion of Tradition Parkway, near Tradition Preparatory High School and Renaissance Charter School, and says the groundbreaking was held at the same 13120 SW Tradition Parkway address (city news release, July 15, 2024).

The amenity tags on the park page, from ball fields to a canoe launch, describe planned features of a park the city lists as under construction. The surrounding Tradition area has its own guide on this site.

City sources give three sizes for Tradition Regional Park: 110 acres on the park page, 124 acres in the 2024 groundbreaking release and 124.7 acres in the 2025 master plan inventory.

The park page says the park spans 110 acres (park page); the release says it is built on 124 acres (groundbreaking release); and the master plan inventory row reads Tradition Regional Park, 124.7, 2025, Undeveloped (master plan update inventory). None of the three explains the difference.

Tradition Regional Park is the first of two Port St. Lucie parks in a new regional class, which the master plan describes as very large multi-function spaces serving areas within a half-hour drive.

The 2025 master plan update lists the city's existing park types, from neighborhood and community parks to nature preserves and special purpose parks, and says the Regional Park type is expected to be added with the development of Torino and Tradition Parks. It counts approximately 250 acres of city-owned undeveloped parkland and approximately 470 more acres to come through future development. The July 2024 release calls Tradition the City's first regional park and names Torino Regional Park as the second.

Torino Regional Park broke ground later. Its city page reports an official groundbreaking on Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025, and describes the park as a 195-acre destination (Torino Regional Park page), while the same master plan inventory lists Torino at 224.01 acres (master plan update inventory).

The master plan also makes finishing the park a stated goal. Among its actions, the update calls for completing the design and implementation of on-going projects, with resources allocated or adjusted to keep them on schedule, and lists Tradition Regional Park Phase 1 alongside Torino Regional Park Phase 1, O.L. Peacock, Sr. Preserve construction and The Port District Master Plan (master plan update, action list).

Port St. Lucie impact fees and capital budget money stand behind the design and construction, and the city has budgeted staff positions for the park's eventual opening.

The 2024 groundbreaking release calls the park a public/private partnership between the City of Port St. Lucie and Mattamy Homes, thanks St. Lucie County for its part in the project and says the city will partner with USA BMX on programming at the track. On the city side, the master plan update records that in fiscal 2023 the city spent impact fee funding on four park projects, including $150,522 for BMX park design at Tradition Regional Park, and that the city collected a total of $3,690,208.17 in park impact fees in 2023.

The FY 2023-24 adopted budget book adds $2.1M of adopted funding for that year to support increased project costs, and includes 11.18 new Parks and Recreation positions to support the opening of Tradition Regional Park. Its position list names a Turf/Landscape Specialist and a Turf/Landscape Supervisor for the park.

The city says the PSL BMX facility, still under construction, will be the signature feature of Tradition Regional Park and describes it as the first fully inclusive facility of its type, both nationally and internationally.

According to the Tradition Regional Park page, the planned facility includes a pump track plus an area for learning bike safety and is designed to integrate traditional BMX racing with all-wheels adaptive riding. The 2024 release describes a planned track that will accommodate BMX riders, skateboarding and inline skating, with a kids zone where toddlers can learn to ride a bike and practice traffic safety rules (groundbreaking release). The adopted FY 2023-24 budget described the Phase I scope as including a pad-ready site for an anticipated BMX element (FY 2023-24 adopted budget book).

None of these features is open to the public; the city park page lists Tradition Regional Park as Coming Soon.
