New Hillsboro El Rio Park Phase II

Hillsboro El Rio Park Phase 2 Coming Soon to Boca Raton, FL

Development of Hillsboro El Rio Park Phase II in southeast Boca Raton is now underway with an expected opening at the end of 2019. This 14-acre, city-owned parcel of land located on the south side of SW 18th Street between Dixie Hwy & the El Rio Canal, will be the site of the City of Boca Raton’s newest waterfront park. Phase I of the Hillsboro El Rio Park, which is located on the north side of SW 18th Street, has been open to the public since 2002. 

Though plans for completing phase II of the Hillsboro El Rio Park have been in the works for several years, a renewed commitment to the development of the City’s waterfront park sites has now taken priority. After receiving input from nearby Boca Raton residents and the Parks and Recreation Board, a new and improved site plan was created for phase II which is estimated to cost approximately $7.8 million. By the end of 2019, the new Hillsboro El Rio Park Phase II will be open to the public from dawn till dusk, offering the following amenities:

  • Walking/Jogging Paths 
  • Fitness Station
  • Children's Playground
  • Four Pickleball Courts
  • Two Tennis Courts
  • Basketball Court
  • Sand Volleyball Court
  • Picnic Pavilions
  • Canoe/Kayak Soft Launch Area
  • Public Restrooms & Parking
