Oakland Park has announced it has been awarded a $2.5 million grant through the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program, part of the National Park Service’s initiative to enhance local parks across the country. This substantial funding will drive key improvements at City Centennial Park at 3900 NE 3rd Avenue to serve the community. The grant award will help provide several enhancements that would include green infrastructure and advanced drainage systems to improve sustainability and open-air seating and a performance space with lawn seating for community gatherings, cultural events, and performances. There would also be ADA-compliant multi-use trails and parking to ensure accessibility for all residents and visitors and enhanced landscaping and upgraded lighting to create a welcoming and secure environment.
Oakland Park is advising that FPL is continuing work related to the installation of the skywalk at the Sky Building on Park Lane East/NE 38th Street.
Park Lane East will be closed between Dixie Highway and NE 11th Avenue on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Drivers can use NE 39th Street or NE 34th Court and NE 10th Avenue while the closure is in effect. We apologize for any inconvenience.
