On August 23, Mattamy Homes hosted the official grand opening of Heart in the Park—a dramatic 73-foot sculpture that now stands as the tallest heart sculpture in the world. Designed by internationally acclaimed artist JEFRË, the installation is a bold new centerpiece along the Tradition Trail and a meaningful place for residents and visitors to gather, reflect and connect.

The public event brought together residents, visitors, and community partners for a day of celebration, including live entertainment, giveaways, and interactive activities focused on wellness. In partnership with the American Heart Association and the St. Lucie County Fire District, guests participated in a hands-on CPR experience and heart-healthy pledge activity, reinforcing Tradition’s ongoing commitment to health and connection.

The celebration also marked the debut of The Shoppes at the Heart, a new 71,000-square-foot retail center adjacent to the sculpture. The plaza features a mix of dining, shopping, and service-oriented businesses including Aldi, Kyle G’s Amore Chop House, Port Tradition, Tomalty Dental, and Le Bistro de Paris—creating a walkable destination for everyday needs and special outings alike.

Located at Village Parkway and Discovery Way, Heart in the Park includes public seating, gathering spaces, bicycle and vehicle parking, and a stop along the T.I.M. community shuttle system.

As Tradition continues to grow, Heart in the Park joins a lineup of upcoming parks, trails and community spaces that reflect the spirit and lifestyle of the people who call it home.
