Welcome to Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District Website

The Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District was created by a special act of the Florida Legislature in 1974 for the purpose of providing outstanding public beaches and parks for local residents. The District includes the land in the southeastern corner of Palm Beach County, east of the Florida Turnpike and south of Clint Moore Road, including all of the City of Boca Raton.

The District is governed by a five-member, elected Board of Commissioners. The Board regularly meets on the first and third Mondays of each month in the community center at Sugar Sand Park at 4:00 p.m. All meetings are open to the public, and participation is encouraged.

The Board has the authority to levy up to 2 mills of taxes on the value of real and personal property within its boundaries. The taxable property within the district is valued at $18 billion. The tax rate levied by the District for 2003 is $1.0363 per $1,000 of taxable value, which generated $17 million in operating revenue.

For further information about the District and its various activities, please call or visit the offices, which are located in the community center at Sugar Sand Park, 300 South Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33486. The telephone number is 561-417-4599.
