Holiday Park Parking Project – Update

The City of Fort Lauderdale is advancing efforts to address long-term parking needs at Holiday Park, aiming to support recreational, residential, and community growth in the surrounding area.

Background

In response to increased parking demand and prior City Commission feedback, City staff launched a planning process to evaluate potential parking enhancements within Holiday Park. On June 4, 2024, the City Commission approved a $349,664 agreement with Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, LLC to prepare a Design Criteria Package for a Holiday Park Parking Garage, including plans for 1,000–1,250 spaces and optional office space for the Transportation and Mobility Department. The contract was awarded following a competitive RFQ process.

The following factors continue to drive the need for expanded public parking:

  • The Parker Playhouse, War Memorial Auditorium, and Baptist Health IcePlex are all fully operational
  • Growth in residential developments near the park
  • Parks Bond improvements including tennis courts, future splash pad, playgrounds, and pickleball courts
  • Planned YMCA complex including a pool, medical facility, and fitness center

Unsolicited Proposals and Competitive Period

The Resolution established that the City of Fort Lauderdale will accept other proposals for the same project in accordance with Section 255.065, Florida Statutes (2024), for a period of forty-five (45) days after the initial date of publication.

The initial notice was published in the Sun-Sentinel and the Florida Administrative Register on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, initiating a 45-day competitive window for submitting proposals, which closes on Thursday, August 22, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.
