TCPalm used a drone to dispel rumors about Wavegarden. Construction has not begun on the Midway Road surf park. There's no opening date yet for Wavegarden or the Koa Bay development. If you're driving on Midway Road in Fort Pierce just west of Interstate 95, you might miss it. The tree-lined property with large power poles on the northwest corner of that I-95 interchange is where the future Wavegarden surf park will be as part of the Koa Bay housing community.

The Wavegarden surf park at Koa Bay in Fort Pierce doesn’t have an opening date yet. Its surf packages cost $1,080-$5,625 — but its hourly sessions typically are much more affordable. Derek Rohn, a Fort Pierce surfer, has been surfing throughout April at a Wavegarden surf park in Brazil. Wavegarden will be the first public surf park on the Treasure Coast. How much will Wavegarden cost? What's it like to surf at a Wavegarden?

New bowling alley Local Lanes offers mini-duckpin bowling instead of regulation duckpin bowling. Regulation duckpin bowling is monitored by the National Congress of Duckpin Bowling. The mini version involves a smaller ball, squat pins and three throws. Locals Lanes just opened the only duckpin bowling alley on the Treasure Coast, where many residents never heard of the predominately East Coast sport — much less know there's a regulation and non-regulation version of it.

Heated debate breaks out behind the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce during the Trump hearing this morning. Otherwise it’s been relatively peaceful. https://t.co/y17fnqxjrX
And @PBCountySheriff deputies who rode in on motorcycles were spotted having breakfast and lunch inside The Pot Belli Deli nearby during the Trump hearing at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce. https://t.co/XQGwwmj4KJ
After Trump arrived to the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, about a dozen people (Trump supporters, FHP troopers, @FortPiercePD & federal agents) went to Mervis’ Cafe for coffee and Cuban food. https://t.co/He5yy1CuZL
