It was a beautiful day for a morning hike, and The Preserve is the perfect place to explore. This…read morebrand-new, 13-acre park is part of the Port District in Port St. Lucie. Built at a cost of $970,000, $400,000 of the funding came from a grant by the Florida Inland Navigation District, with the remainder supported through the Parks Impact Fee Capital Improvement Project. The park features half a mile of trails, including both boardwalks and natural earth paths that wind along the north fork of the St. Lucie River. The Preserve will be adjacent to The Grove, the city's planned entertainment district, which will feature restaurants and bars. The Port District also includes Pioneer Park, with a playground for children, and the Port St. Lucie History Museum and Education Center. The Preserve is part of the city's Naturally PSL: Green Spaces and Places Initiative, which aims to increase residents' access to parks, trails, and natural areas while connecting them to the environment and enhancing quality of life. This park is a wonderful addition to the area. The trails are easy to navigate and were being enjoyed by people of all ages. I especially appreciated the connection to the three-quarter-mile boardwalk along the river, complete with seating to sit back, relax, and watch the boats drift by.

I'm pretty inexperienced with paddling and hadn't had any fun and successful jaunts. A friend…read moreinvited me to join the ECO Mangrove Paddle Tour on a Sunday morning and it's the best thing I did on my trip to Florida. Lisa is patient, a great instructor and makes sure you experience the nature - the spider crabs, the sounds of the mussels, the ospreys and more. Even with beginners, she was able to adapt the tour to accommodate. There was a young woman who hadn't paddled before and Lisa and her assistants kept an eye on her, coached her and even adjusted her equipment to make her paddle even more successful. The assistants are a notable feature. Lisa told us that any time they have a group of 5 or more she has at least one of these experienced paddlers as an assistant. These assistants bring up the back and monitor the group to adapt to speed, take photos, encourage and guide. I highly recommend this tour, whether you're an experienced paddler, have your own board, or need to use the very high quality equipment they provide. The next time I'm in town I plan to take the tour again.

A brand new, 104.9-acre nature preserve, Rosser Lakes Preserve, opened earlier this month in Port…read moreSt. Lucie. It's the first property acquired under the city's Naturally PSL Land Bank, a new initiative to conserve and protect land. The preserve is located between Interstate 95 and Rosser Boulevard. The city purchased the property on February 20, 2026, for $2.5 million. Originally slated for 100 homes, the land has instead been transformed into a community preserve dedicated to passive recreation. Rosser Lakes Preserve is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to sunset. The preserve features two large lakes that are popular for shoreline fishing. Visitors can also canoe or kayak on the lakes, hike the trails, and enjoy wildlife watching. During my hike, I spotted several birds, a marsh rabbit, and even an alligator in the lake. Port St. Lucie has already identified 198 acres of existing natural preserves and designated nearly 745 additional acres for future green space. The trail network has grown to 41 miles, with 20 more miles planned. Two new parks opened in 2024, and six more are expected to open soon. I applaud Port St. Lucie's commitment to conservation and its efforts to preserve natural areas for both residents and visitors to enjoy.

We love kayaking around the Treasure Coast, so naturally we wanted our own tandem kayak and a way…read moreto transport it. We ordered parts online for our car's specific make/model via the Yakima brand website, but after receiving the parts from our online order it was clear we needed some direction and assistance from a seasoned professional! Enter Native Water Sports! We've seen the store several times but never went it. We decided to go and we are so glad we did. Ted, the owner and operator, graciously helped us get the proper parts and told us he'd call us back to the store once received. About a week later, the parts were here, and Ted and my husband arranged a time at the shop. He not only helped install the rack to ensure that it was safely mounted, but he also showed my husband how he did it and was very hands-on! It took them about one and a half hours - and we were good to go. He showed us how to use the straps, how to take the pads off/on, etc. You can absolutely tell Ted is a well seasoned professional kayak guy - not only that, but he's friendly and just a genuinely nice person. For any kayak needs - car racks, life jackets, kayaks, and pretty much any kayak accessory known to man - Ted is your guy for honest help!

This place is GREAT! They delivered our kayaks and picked them back up, comfortable seats/paddles!!…read moreDefinitely recommend this place!!!

Bruner Pond Park was named in honor of James Herbert Bruner, a prominent citizen of Martin County…read more James was born January 29, 1919 in Lovedale, Florida. He came to Stuart in 1925 and went on to make many contributions to the town as a civic leader, politician, businessman and developer. Many buildings, stores and improvements in Stuart were a result of his influence. He passed away on March 20, 1999 in Stuart. Located near historic downtown Stuart is this small park. I was looking for someplace to enjoy a snack and this worked out perfectly. Bruner Pond Park has a short walking path that loops around the pond. Along the way are benches and a little bridge you can walk over. This is a peaceful little spot to take a break. The park isn't very big, but the pond in the center makes it feel relaxing and scenic. I walked around the path for a bit and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the turtles lounging on an island in the pond. If you're already exploring downtown Stuart, it's worth stopping by.

She stated that…read morethey no longer honor those cards and haven't for at least 5 years yet we pre-paid for 25 refills and had 8 fills remaining PLUS we had tanks filled last year. This is FRAUD! She bought the business from her ex-husband on 4/9/25. Since then, the store has gone downhill. She hired kids (which is good) but they are under 18 and cannot fill tanks legally so we left our tanks. When we inquired about hours, we were told they would be opened until 4:00pm but when we drove 45 minutes we found the store closed with no signs on the door. We tried calling but they don't have voice mail set up. She said she gets "thousands of calls" and didn't want to set it up. Employees park in the parking spot reserved for loading/unloading tanks so we had to walk our tanks across the parking lot. We will not be using their shop any longer and I would others to stay away. There are better dive shops in the area.

They also gave us a few free waters. We had 8 people with us and we got 2 wave-runners for 2 hours so people took turns. Just down to the left, you can see Tiger Wood's compound (mostly the walls security cameras and his boat) but you have to go in a no wake zone for a few minutes to get there. Still pretty cool. I recommend going fast for the first part and if you have time check out Tiger's house on the water! Remember to bring cash for tipping the crew - they are very helpful and deserve it.
