Hypoluxo Hammock

Hypoluxo Hammock is located on the grounds of the Town Hall. It was designed with four goals in mind: Recreate the site as it would have looked 100 years ago to the Barefoot Mailman as he began his trek to Miami. Create a coastal hammock which was so common to this particular area before housing development and the introduction of so many exotic and destructive plant species. Use only native species that after an initial 6 month establishment period would require no further irrigation or fertilizer other than what nature provides. Incorporate a drainage design that would retain nearly 100% of the entire site's rain run-off. Hypoluxo Hammock was designed by Hypoluxo Town Councilman Mark Hull and Richard Moyroud of Mesozoic Landscapes. The park was dedicated on March 9, 1996.
