A Message from Mayor Rich Walker
As I look back over the past several months, I am inspired by our City’s progress. When I think about how hard we work, how much we care for each other, and how determined we are to get things done in our personal and professional lives, it always comes back to a foundation that rests on the strength of our community.
As a community, we are not only collaborating and working together, but also thriving together, and I believe our work should be celebrated in person. The City of Parkland City Commissioners and I will deliver the State of the City at City Hall at 6:00 p.m. on May 14, at 6600 University Drive, 33067.
During State of the City 2025, we will share a high-level overview of the many initiatives that are completed, in process, and scheduled to begin – all in an elegant evening setting.
Concepts for the Village in the Park, which will be in a portion of the former Heron Bay Golf Course, are in the works, the Loxahatchee Road redesign is well underway, and soon, we will begin work on our new Wedge Preserve Park, which will be the first of its kind in Parkland. In addition to all of that, large-scale drainage improvements are currently taking place in residential areas throughout the City.
As Mayor and as a Parkland resident, I am proud of this purposeful work that will positively impact our life experiences for years to come.
Consider making plans to hear more about our next chapter together. You will hear the latest in Parkland’s story, and you will have an opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A portion of our program. We hope you will join us, as we will include visual references and opportunities to speak with City commissioners in an informal setting, as well as give residents a better understanding of the scope of the exciting things happening in our community.
