Description

Through integrated public art and site interpretation planning, public artist Lucy Keshavarz and interpretive consultant Linda Emerson created a holistic experience at Jaycee Park. All elements of the park serve to educate and inspire visitors to understand estuary ecology, its direct connection to the Gulf Stream ecosystem and Boynton Beach's rich fishing and cultural heritage.

Interpretative Public Art Markers serve as an educational tool for visitors to learn the historic, present and future importance of the City's mangrove estuaries. This project was funded with a match using City Park impact fees and a F.I.N.D., Florida Inland Navigation District grant award.
