About the City Hall
Lake Park City Hall is located at 217 Market Street, in the Boyer Building. The building was built in 1947 by Ken and Dorothy Boyer to be the new home of their grocery store, Boyer's Super Food Market. The Boyer's operated the store until they retired in 1973.
The building continued to be used as a grocery store, then a coffee shop, then stood empty for some time. In June of 1992, the Boyer family sold the building to the City of Lake Park. The interior was remodeled and on December 5, 1992, it became the new home for Lake Park City Hall and Lake Park Municipal Utilities.
