Open Space and Open Air in Boca Raton

Boca Raton is a city located in Palm Beach County, Florida. The name derives from Spanish, meaning "Mouth of the Mouse." Popular with visitors for generations, it is estimated that on an average day, almost half the people in the city are not among the permanent resident population. A large number of these are working in the city, but many others are tourists enjoying the opportunity to stay in spacious and comfortable holiday rentals in Boca Raton.

Mizner Park

Since 1991, one of the primary culture centers for southern Palm Beach County has been Mizner Park, an outdoor shopping center located in Boca Raton. Built on the site of the former Boca Raton Mall, Mizner Park features a Mediterranean feel that incorporates restaurants as well as shopping venues; it is also the home of the Boca Raton Museum of Art and an outdoor amphitheater that provides a venue for open-air concerts and other artistic performances.

Preserving City Beauty in the Keys

Boca Raton has enacted strict development laws intended to keep the city as visually pleasing as possible. The size and kinds of commercial buildings are regulated, as are signs and advertisements. Neither outdoor car dealerships nor excessive billboards are permitted within city limits. This has created a lovely atmosphere in which landscaping takes center stage and there is much open space available, giving the city an open feel that helps tourists gain the sense that they have left the busy corporate world behind and can truly relax during their Florida vacations.
