The Palm Beach County Commissioners have accepted a $500,000 Florida Boating Improvement Program grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The money will be used for DuBois Park docks and shoreline stabilization. Located just south of the Jupiter inlet and adjacent to Carlin Park in Jupiter, the total Dubois Park Marina project is currently estimated at $3.6 million, and includes: Rebuild slips for 24 vessels along the peninsula, renovate the existing dock slips at Zeke's Marina, repair the existing single concrete boat ramp, install rip-rap for shoreline stabilization, create a one-acre snorkeling area.
The park features more than 1,200 feet of beach frontage the site has been utilized as a public park for over 40 years and is one of the county's most popular beach and fishing locations. Replacement of the day use dock slips will restore public use as a boater destination park in the northern part of the county. Within the park is the DuBois Pioneer Home and Indian Mound historical and archaeological site. DuBois house was erected in 1898, is the second oldest extant house in Palm Beach County. The home is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1 to 4 so you may enjoy all the history of the many documents on display in the home.
