Roy Rogers Seawall Project brings major waterfront improvements and stronger public access to Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach, Florida – Construction is underway at Roy L. Rogers Park in Pompano Beach as the city continues a major waterfront improvement project aimed at strengthening the area while making it easier and safer for residents and visitors to enjoy the waterfront.

The project is focused on several important upgrades around Wahoo Bay, including a brand-new seawall cap, an improved promenade and rebuilt public docks. Together, the improvements are expected to provide better safety, increase the waterfront’s resilience and improve public access to the popular destination.

The work is part of ongoing park improvements taking place throughout Pompano Beach. While the finished project is expected to create a more modern and durable waterfront area, residents and visitors will have to deal with some temporary changes while construction continues.

Those changes include temporary closures and adjustments to access around the park. Water Taxi passengers will also see a change during the construction period. The Water Taxi will not stop at P11 Roy L. Rogers Park while the project is underway.

Instead, passengers can use the nearby P7 stop at Dockswell Dock, located at 145 N. Riverside Drive. The alternate stop will allow Water Taxi riders to continue using the service while work at Roy Rogers Park progresses.

City officials expect construction to be completed in January 2027. Until then, visitors to the area are being asked to plan ahead and pay attention to changes in access and transportation routes.

The waterfront work is expected to play an important role in the future of Wahoo Bay. The new seawall and other improvements are designed not only to improve the appearance and function of the park, but also to help the waterfront withstand changing conditions over the years.

“We appreciate the community’s patience as we build a stronger, more resilient Wahoo Bay — one designed to keep the water taxis running, the fishing lines casting, and the promenade strolls going for many years ahead.”

Once construction is finished, visitors will have access to an upgraded waterfront that combines improved public spaces with rebuilt docks and a stronger seawall. The project is intended to support the different ways people use the area, from taking the Water Taxi and fishing to walking along the promenade.

The city is encouraging the community to remain patient while the work continues. More information about the Roy Rogers Seawall Project, including project updates and access information, is available through the City of Pompano Beach.
