NOTE FROM DIRECTOR
INSIDE THIS ISSUE...
Happy New Year! Have you heard the word? Jupiter Jubilee
is moving to a new location in 2019! Jupiter’s biggest
hometown celebration is making the move to Abacoa
Community Park while construction of our new police
department, IT data center, and Veteran’s Memorial is
underway at the Municipal Complex. We will celebrate the
17th year of the Jubilee in the Abacoa neighborhood at one
of Jupiter’s most beautiful parks. The layout and amenities
at Abacoa Community Park will allow us to expand on some
of the most popular portions of the event including the Kid’s
Fun Zone and add new features like a
food truck court. Please note that all
parking will be off-site in surrounding
parking lots with shuttles to bring you
to and from the event throughout
the day. Be sure to check the Town’s
website (www.jupiter.fl.us/jubilee)
for specific parking locations as well
as a schedule of events for the day.
Jupiter’s beautiful February weather is also the perfect
time of year to walk or bike to the event. It’s sure to be
a fabulous time once again in 2019, and I look forward to
seeing you there!
Speaking of our fantastic winter weather, why not take
advantage of some new outdoor amenities in the Town?
Jupiter’s newest park, Cinquez Park, is a beautiful open
space property on Indiantown Road and Carver Avenue with
a dedicated dog park where dogs of all sizes can run and play
in designated fenced dog pens. The dog park even has its own
Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CinquezParkDogPark)
where a Cinquez Park Dog of the Week is chosen each week.
Not only is the park a great social opportunity for your pooch,
but for residents as well. Be on the lookout for events coming
to the dog park in 2019.

Chances are you or a member of your family have seen the
addition of eight Little Free Libraries to several of Jupiter’s
neighborhoods and facilities throughout Town. These self-
contained libraries offer a book exchange opportunity with
the “take a book, return a book” philosophy, and help to
promote literacy for both children and adults. Keep an
eye out for these beautiful libraries while on your morning
walk, and don’t forget to leave a book if you can. We’re
also accepting book donations at the Jupiter Community
Center to build a large library from which our neighborhood
stewards can stock the Little Free Libraries. Don’t forget
to check the Town’s website for more details on the book
donation guidelines. Thank you to the artists from the Town’s
Art Committee who helped create these lovely amenities for
our residents!

FAMILY USE HOURS FOR TOWN OF JUPITER PARK FIELDS
Family use hours are now available at several of the Town's
park fields that are typically used by athletic leagues. During
the family use hours at the parks, residents are invited to
use the specified fields for recreational sports with friends
and family.
The schedule for family use hours (which can be found
online at www.jupiter.fl.us/family-use-hours) shows
which fields are open for public use and when, and they
will be updated seasonally based on sports and recreation
league schedules. Because the designated times and fields
change throughout the year, please be sure to check the
online schedule periodically.
Please keep in mind that the Town of Jupiter reserves
the right to close fields at any time due to weather,
excessive wear and tear of fields, and unexpected
maintenance.
Follow Us:
@TownofJupiterandPolice
The Town asks that residents who wish to utilize the fields
during the family use times follow some simple rules that
are in place to maintain a safe environment and protect
the integrity of the fields:
1. Family use will only be allowed during the scheduled
dates and times.
2. Recreational activities must be sport-specific to the
field being used.
3. Organized activities such as formal games or practices,
training sessions or private lessons are not permitted
for family use hours.
4. Golfing is not allowed on the fields.
5. Training equipment of any kind is not allowed on the
fields at any time.
6. All posted park rules must be adhered to at all times.
