Summer Splash Pads and Shaded Trails Offer Relief This Sunday

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · July 26, 2026

A heavy mist rolls off the wetlands this morning, clearing the way for a warm July afternoon.

📰 The Lead

The sprawling master-planned community of Avenir continues to reshape the northwestern corner of Palm Beach Gardens as new commercial spaces take shape near the upcoming town center. Construction crews have ramped up work on retail and dining hubs designed to serve the thousands of residents moving into neighborhoods like Esprit and Avondale. For longtime locals, the fast-paced growth marks a significant shift toward self-contained village living, reducing the need to drive down PGA Boulevard for daily errands. While infrastructure teams work through phased utility integrations, prospective buyers continue touring the area's net-zero-ready homes and open green spaces. The next public review hearing regarding final commercial buildout permits is scheduled with the city's zoning board next month.
