Considered to be a “master-planned” community, Boca Del Mar boasts a wide variety of amenities for its residents, with many parks and recreational facilities, shops, and places of worship.

One of Boca Del Mar’s claims to fame is their Tree Legacy Program. A green initiative started by concerned community members, the Tree Legacy Program is built around the idea of planting trees to commemorate a loved one. Without access to a large amount of community landscaping money, the people living in Boca Del Mar wanted to continue to improve their green areas. A community member of Boca Del Mar, Jack Wilderman, came up with the idea of the Tree Legacy Program as a way to fund planting new trees throughout the community. The program has been going on since the early 1990s, and any community member may purchase a tree for a few hundred dollars and have it dedicated in remembrance of a fallen friend or in honor of a loved one’s achievement. Trees can even be purchased to remember an anniversary, or as a gift to a friend. Many different kinds of trees are available for purchase.
