Turtle Run Park

Turtle Run Park is a 10-acre Port St. Lucie neighborhood park at 1945 SW Cameo Blvd. with two 200-foot ball fields, a sand volleyball court, a practice field with multi-purpose goals, a fenced playground and a large pavilion.

The city's park page dates Turtle Run Park to 1993 and lists ADA restrooms, parking, a large 28 by 36 foot pavilion with six 8-foot tables, water, electricity and a large grill, and a fenced multipurpose playground for ages 2 to 12 with two covered tables (City of Port St. Lucie, Turtle Run Park). The two ball fields have backstops and 60-foot bases, and the open-space practice area carries multi-purpose goals for soccer, football and rugby. The park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset, and its listed phone is 772-878-2277.

The Census Bureau geocoder returns 1945 SW CAMEO BLVD, PORT ST LUCIE, FL, 34953 within the incorporated place Port St. Lucie city, so the Cameo Boulevard park is inside city limits (U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, Incorporated Places layer).

Turtle Run Park has one sand volleyball court, and the city's amenity list notes that players must bring their own ball.

The same Turtle Run amenity list describes the large open-space practice area and its multi-purpose goals for soccer, football and rugby, alongside the two 200-foot ball fields (Turtle Run Park, Detailed Amenities). The facility snapshot on the Port St. Lucie page tags the park for baseball, softball, soccer and football fields, a volleyball court, a BBQ grill, picnic tables and open space.

No field or court lights appear in the Turtle Run amenity list, and the park's posted hours end at sunset; other Port St. Lucie parks, such as Sandhill Crane Park, post a 10 p.m. close with a 9:30 p.m. sports light curfew (City of Port St. Lucie, Sandhill Crane Park). Separate Digital Towns guides cover the lighted fields at Sandhill Crane Park and McChesney Park.

A Turtle Run Park booking can include up to 250 people under the city's unmanned park limits, and alcoholic beverages are not permitted.

The city sets per-park group limits for unmanned facilities, and its table gives Turtle Run Park 250, Rotary Park 175 and Charles E. Ray Park, River Place Park and Veterans at Rivergate Park 150 each (City of Port St. Lucie, Reservations and Rentals, Maximum Capacity Per Reservation). Bringing more guests than the number signed for can lead the department to cancel the booking and flag the renter's account. Bounce houses, pony rides and similar extras have to be named at booking and supplied by a vendor on the department's pre-qualified list.

Athletic fields without lights, the practice and open space row, are listed at $16.24 before tax, and the pavilion table lists a family pavilion at $11.36 and a group pavilion at $20.28, before tax, for the 3-hour minimum; the Turtle Run page does not say which type its pavilion is.
