I am so pleased with the environmentally compatible new restorations and improvements to the walking trails and boardwalks at James P Rutherford and Lake Wyman parks! I moved to Boca Raton in 1979 and glad to see these aspects of the park come to fruition during my lifetime. It makes for very enjoyable strolls and jogging along the rubberized fitness trails that helps to enable Boca Residents to stay healthy!
