With the city evolving rapidly, it’s time to re-imagine this plan to better reflect today’s priorities—emphasizing sustainable growth, vibrant public spaces, diverse housing options, and attractions that appeal to both locals and tourists. A refreshed vision will ensure Boynton Beach remains a thriving, dynamic community that meets the demands of the future. Adoption Date: October 4, 2016 255 256 Educate residents about the CRA Districts. Re-Evaluate district boundaries and consider renaming/re-branding. (e.g., Creating a Marina District currently in the Downtown District) Reevaluate the Boynton Beach CRA branding to align with the city’s evolving identity and vision for the future. Implementing a comprehensive multi-modal connectivity plan will enhance connectivity, accessibility, and efficiency across all districts/city, ensuring equitable mobility options for residents and visitors throughout the city. DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS 257 Consider creating a new tagline that could better encompass its vibrant community and diverse appeal. “Gateway to the Gulfstream” highlights the coast but may not reflect Boynton Beach’s full identity. Explore partnerships with Live Local projects to incorporate a grocery store, particularly in or adjacent to The Heart of Boynton district, enhancing accessibility and supporting community needs. Engage community residents to collaborate with the CRA to rename the streets in our Downtown, Cultural, and Heart of Boynton districts, reflecting the area’s unique character and shared heritage. Examine and coordinate potential funding for infrastructure improvements for all districts. (water, sewer, drainage) Continue land banking opportunities. (affordable housing, retail, mixed-use, office, hotel, re-development) DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS 258 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ADVISORY BOARD PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS Federal Highway Corridor District (North & South Entry) - Create gateway features, and incorporate green canopy spaces. - Create a sense of destination. - Implement marketing techniques and attraction programs to encourage businesses, restaurants and retail to relocate, expand or start new operations within the district. - Expand sidewalks and pedestrian areas. 259 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ADVISORY BOARD PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS Downtown District - Look for land opportunities for or a parking garage. - Identify City and private owned surface lots in the meantime for public parking. - Beautify the Federal corridor.

On July 14, 2020, the CRA Board assigned the CRAB with the task of identifying available properties located within key commercial and light industrial areas of the CRA. CRA staff will provide the CRAB with a list of properties found on Costar/LoopNet and the Multiple Listing Service that are being marketed as "for sale" or properties where the CRA has been presented an opportunity to purchase by the property owners or their representatives. The CRA Board's assignment involves the CRAB performing research and analysis on these properties. The goal of the assignment is to have the CRAB provide a priority list of properties or recommendations on whether or not to pursue possible acquisition based on available funding. All land assemblages for future redevelopment shall be in furtherance of the 2016 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. Of the properties for sale, categorize them as one of the following options: Pursue now as a land banking opportunity; or Pursue at a future time to be determined by the CRA Board; or Do not pursue because it does not fit the CRA mission.

Investigate specifics including locations for the splash pad in the Cultural District. On November 10, 2025, the CRAB presented their ideas before the CRA Board for the splash pad, including locations at both Pence Park and Sara Sims Park, and suggested adding an art feature the Cultural District location to activate the space both day and night (see Attachment I). 2.

ATTACHMENTS: Description 305 CRA ADVISORY BOARD PENCE PARK | CULTURAL DISTRICT WATER FEATURE 306 INTRODUCTION In alignment with the mission of the CRA to “create a vibrant downtown core and revitalize neighborhoods” we are asking for: -Splash Park as part of the Design for Pence Park - the Downtown District -A Distinct & Artistic water feature as a central focal point of the Cultural District 307 PENCE PARK SPLASH PARK DOWNTOWN DISTRICT 308 SPLASH PARKS: WHAT ARE THEY? Zero-Depth Splash parks can be small or epic 309 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION Splash parks tend to be vibrant gathering places that both build community + increase the value of surrounding property. This increased presence of parents & children also has the opportunity to reduce crime. It will increase activation by attracting multiple age ranges to Pence Park. 310 SPLASH PARKS: GAP ANALYSIS Boynton Beach Small Splash pad at Barrier Free Park Boca Raton Patch Reef Park Delray Beach Catherine Strong Splash Park Lake Worth John Prince Memorial (operated by PBC) Our neighbors have dedicated, large splash parks that draw in residents from surrounding cities: 311 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Shade ●Interactive Water Play at lower heights (For smaller children) ●Inclusion of Color & Art Features 312 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Benches for Parents ●Grass area for picnics (Artificial turf should be considered) 313 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Fenced in (At the very least, one way in one way out) ●For weekends or busy times, consider the option for a food truck to park closeby ●Bathrooms ●Security, specifically cameras that link to Police real time crime center 314 What do residents say about a splash park? 315 Additional Considerations ●Design: Ensuring community input during this process ●Implementation Cost ●Healthy Water Systems ●Maintenance costs at $15-$25k per year ●Safety is critical ○Good Parking ○Well Lit ○Safe Bathrooms Optimistic Realistic Worst Case $400-$600k $750-$950k $1,000,000+ 316 WATER FEATURE CULTURAL DISTRICT 317 WHY A WATER FEATURE? Boynton Beach lacks a distinct artistic feature in our cultural district, the heart of our city. Water makes sense for our identity as a city. Water features are memorable & attract crowds. People will stay longer, increasing the hours of activation of the cultural district, invigorating the economy. 318 CULTURAL DISTRICT: ART INSTALL 319 CULTURAL DISTRICT: ART INSTALLATION Recommendations for Water Feature: ●Partner with artists to double as art installation ○Budget can come from both CRA & Art ●Consider Fountains with LED lights for nighttime distinction ●Fountains will not require a bathroom installation 320 NEXT STEPS Recommendation:Add a splash park to the Pence park plan and signature water feature to the Cultural District. Benefits:Enhances community pride, boosts Cultural District economy, creates family-friendly destination. Next Steps: 1. Gather Public Input 2. Approve & add to official plans 3. Solicit proposals (artists, water feature specialists, contractors) 4. Finalize budget range 5.

With the city evolving rapidly, it’s time to re-imagine this plan to better reflect today’s priorities—emphasizing sustainable growth, vibrant public spaces, diverse housing options, and attractions that appeal to both locals and tourists. A refreshed vision will ensure Boynton Beach remains a thriving, dynamic community that meets the demands of the future. Adoption Date: October 4, 2016 573 574 Educate residents about the CRA Districts. Re-Evaluate district boundaries and consider renaming/re-branding. (e.g., Creating a Marina District currently in the Downtown District) Reevaluate the Boynton Beach CRA branding to align with the city’s evolving identity and vision for the future. Implementing a comprehensive multi-modal connectivity plan will enhance connectivity, accessibility, and efficiency across all districts/city, ensuring equitable mobility options for residents and visitors throughout the city. DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS 575 Consider creating a new tagline that could better encompass its vibrant community and diverse appeal. “Gateway to the Gulfstream” highlights the coast but may not reflect Boynton Beach’s full identity. Explore partnerships with Live Local projects to incorporate a grocery store, particularly in or adjacent to The Heart of Boynton district, enhancing accessibility and supporting community needs. Engage community residents to collaborate with the CRA to rename the streets in our Downtown, Cultural, and Heart of Boynton districts, reflecting the area’s unique character and shared heritage. Examine and coordinate potential funding for infrastructure improvements for all districts. (water, sewer, drainage) Continue land banking opportunities.
