At the heart of Huizenga Park, where the Riverwalk splits and nature flourishes, stands the Liberty Circle. Thanks to the generous support of Rita and Rick Case Automotive, the Liberty Circle has been thoughtfully enhanced with lush landscaping, creating a welcoming habitat for squirrels, butterflies, and even wild parakeets.
In the center, the Bicentennial Liberty Oak stands tall as a living piece of history, more than 250 years old. This historic tree was rededicated in honor of our nation’s bicentennial and remains a symbol of strength, resilience, and community.
Next time you stroll along Riverwalk, pause beneath its branches—you’ll be standing in the shade of history.
​Rita Case reflects on the legacy of Wayne and Marti Huizenga, visionaries who believed in giving back, building boldly, and investing in places that bring people together. Huizenga Park’s transformation honors that spirit, creating a welcoming space for connection, celebration, and everyday life in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. View this at Huizenga Park's Instagram.
