Young and growing, with the picturesque St. Lucie River winding through it, Port St. Lucie is a mecca for golfers, New York Mets fans, and people with families who love a friendly, small-town atmosphere. Located in the southern part of St. Lucie County, Port St. Lucie boasts all the everyday conveniences of daily life with a unique south Florida charm. Every year the NY Mets bring the excitement of major league baseball spring training to Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie. For most of the City’s community and cultural events, the newly constructed Port St. Lucie Civic Center is the place to go. From joyous holiday parades to busy expos and exuberant festivals, the civic center is the city’s jewel. If golfing is your passion, you’ve made a hole in one. Golfers can spend days playing one perfectly groomed course after another. The city is the home of PGA Village, where three PGA golf courses are open to the public. PGA also boasts a golf learning center, a golf museum and a golf library with materials dating back to the 1920s. Be sure to visit the city’s new Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens with winding paths near the St. Lucie River. The river is peaceful and pristine, with green overhanging palm trees, wildlife perching in the sun and sunlight reflecting off the water. Find spots for launching your canoe, kayak or larger boat and explore the many waterways that wind through the city’s neighborhoods.
