GoWellington is the Village’s official mobile app for submitting service requests and checking their status.


The Village lists potholes, broken street lamps, damaged signs, sidewalk repairs and missed garbage pickups among the issues residents can report.


Each case receives a tracking number, which can help residents follow up on an existing request.


Start with the official GoWellington page for current download options or its desktop platform.


When making a report, provide a precise location, a factual description and the date you noticed the concern.


If you add a photo, take it from a safe position and avoid including unrelated personal information.


Save the tracking number and check the existing case before submitting the same issue again.


For missed collection, confirm the schedule for your address and identify whether garbage, recycling or vegetation was missed.


Wellington lists Solid Waste at 561-791-4003 for collection questions and 561-791-4000 for general Village questions.


A service request does not guarantee a repair date or replace an emergency call; call 911 for an immediate emergency.


The accompanying AI-generated images are illustrations, not app screenshots or photos of actual reports.

Wellington’s pavilion options have different booking rules, so choose the location before planning a gathering.


Village Park and Tiger Shark Cove pavilions require weekend reservations; weekday use is free on a first-come basis.


Park reservations open 60 days ahead, and bookings within seven days must be made in person at Village Park, 11700 Pierson Road.


Published park rates range from $53 for a small-pavilion half day to $160 for a large-pavilion full day.


Call 561-791-4005 to confirm availability and requirements.


The Community Center pavilion is a separate option for up to 50 people, with a 90-day reservation window.


It lists $100 half-day and $200 full-day rates, eight picnic tables and restroom access, but no pavilion electricity.


Call 561-753-5262 for that location.


Ask staff about vendor approval, bounce houses, accessibility and cancellation terms before paying suppliers.


Do not assume the rules or rates for one pavilion apply to another.


Share the exact pavilion number with guests, allow time for setup and cleanup, and retain the booking confirmation.


Check current fees and weather policies directly before finalizing plans.


The accompanying AI-generated images illustrate generic pavilions and do not show actual Wellington facilities or an event.


Keep your confirmation and the correct facility contact number handy on the day.

Wellington building permits are processed electronically, with building plans submitted through ProjectDox.


Residents should first define the project and use the Village’s building-forms page to identify the likely application packet.


Available forms cover projects including air-conditioning changes, fences, generators, reroofing, sheds, pools, solar panels, water heaters, windows, doors and new construction.


The current permitting guide instructs applicants to email a completed application to buildingdocs@wellingtonfl.gov.


After staff enters it, first-time users receive ProjectDox login information and can upload plans and supporting documents.


Project-specific requirements vary, so a form submission, login or fee invoice should not be treated as authorization to begin work.


The self-service portal supports fee payments, inspection scheduling and status checks.


Inspections may be scheduled for a future business day or by 5 p.m. for the following business day.


Wellington also publishes text commands for scheduling, cancelling and obtaining inspection results when the required permit details are available.


Applicants can place required inspection documents in the permit’s ProjectDox Inspection Documentation Folder.


Before starting, confirm the correct form, responsible applicant, required professionals, current fees and inspection sequence with the Building Department.


Keep permit numbers, emails, plan-review comments and inspection results organized throughout the project.

Friday Football Finals: Wins for Wellington and Palm Beach Central

Wellington 24, Dwyer 14. The Wolverines finished their October 30 home game with a ten-point victory.


Palm Beach Central 21, Palm Beach Gardens 3. The Broncos won on the road October 30, moving to 7–3 on the season according to their current MaxPreps schedule.


These are confirmed final scores, replacing the earlier draft’s pending Friday results. Check the schools’ current athletics announcements for postseason fixtures before making plans.


Checked November 3. October 30 scoreboard • Broncos schedule and results

Weekend result: Ashlee Bond and Comme Ci Comme Ca won the November 1 ProElite Grand Prix at Wellington’s ESP Fall Finale, according to Chacco Info’s November 2 report. Their clear jump-off took 35.735 seconds.


Juan Manuel Gallego and Bamaka des Sequoias Z were second in 36.781 seconds; Tanimara Maria Macari Carrillo and Tuuls placed third in 37.417 seconds.

Wellington International’s November I Horse Show is scheduled for Friday, November 6, through Sunday, November 8, at 3400 Equestrian Club Drive.


The official listing gives an 8 a.m. start and 5 p.m. end, with free general admission for daytime visitors Friday through Sunday.


November I is a hunter-jumper competition, but daily class orders, ring assignments and finishing times can change.


Anyone hoping to watch a particular division should check the current competition schedule before leaving home.


The horse show uses the Equestrian Club Drive venue, not Wellington International’s separate South Shore Boulevard accounting office.


Posted property rules prohibit outside food and beverages, flash photography, cameras with long or detachable lenses, balloons and fireworks.


Pets must remain leashed or contained, and professional photography requires approval.


Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, supervise children closely and follow staff directions around horses, gates and working areas.


Free admission does not guarantee parking, a seat, a specific class time or access to operational spaces.


Check the official event page on the morning of the visit for schedule, weather or access changes.


The organizer’s calendar places the Pre-Charity CSI3* Horse Show on the following weekend, November 12–15, so verify the selected event date carefully.


The accompanying images are AI-generated concepts, not photographs of the event, venue or competitors.

Wellington families can begin preparing now for upcoming youth sports registration, even though exact opening dates still require a live catalog check.


The Village’s league calendar identifies November as the expected registration month for youth soccer and girls softball, both scheduled to begin in January.


December is the anticipated window for baseball and girls basketball, which begin in February, and spring lacrosse, which begins in April.


Published age ranges vary by sport: soccer serves ages 4–15, girls softball 4–14, baseball 4–16, girls basketball 6–15 and spring lacrosse 6–13.


These are planning months rather than guaranteed opening days, and Little League baseball uses specific dates within its registration period.


First-time recreation participants must establish a household in person.


Village guidance calls for two forms of identification to establish residency and a birth certificate when registering a child.


Nonresidents may register, but families should verify the terms for the specific program.


Existing CivicRec users should confirm that the correct participant is already on the account before registration opens.


Some sports are operated through outside providers rather than directly through Wellington Parks and Recreation, so read each listing carefully.


The Athletics office is at Village Park, 11700 Pierson Road, and can be reached at 561-791-4005 or athletics@wellingtonfl.gov.


Preparing documents early does not reserve a place, but it can reduce avoidable delays when registration becomes available.


The AI images are illustrative and do not show actual Wellington teams or facilities.

South Shore Park, at 3401 South Shore Boulevard, offers outdoor basketball and field activities with different published hours.


The Village lists basketball courts from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, while baseball, softball and multipurpose fields are listed from 8 a.m. until sunset.


Check the activity-specific window before arranging an evening outing.


Casual open play is informal, does not charge participants or exclude other public users, and must not interfere with scheduled programming.


Paid training, organized team practices, tournaments and fee-based activities need separate permit or rental arrangements.


Contact Athletics at 561-791-4741 to clarify organized use.


Open play is first come, first served, with Village and recognized-provider programming taking priority.


Check the Weather and Field Status page before leaving, especially after rain, and follow all closure signs.


A weather closure applies to all uses, even if a surface looks playable.


Agree on a meeting point and activity before arriving, bring appropriate equipment and water, and allow time to leave before the relevant closing time.


Published schedules can change, so consult current Village guidance close to the visit.


The accompanying images are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of South Shore Park or local participants.


Contact Village staff if your group’s intended use needs clarification.


Local running update: The Wellington 5K, 10-Miler & Tower Challenge was held November 1. The organizer’s results page is available, but individual placings and times could not be verified at this issue’s November 3 check. No winners or finishing times are being reported without confirmation.

The Derek Mack Band is scheduled to perform at the Wellington Amphitheater on Thursday, November 5, 2026.


The Village lists the evening from 5 to 9, with music scheduled for 6:30 and free admission.


The venue is at 12100 Forest Hill Boulevard.


The Thursday Nights in Wellington format combines the performance with food trucks and a local market.


Check the current weekly lineup rather than assuming a favorite vendor will return.


For a group outing, decide whether dinner and browsing belong before the music or whether a shorter concert visit fits better.


The Village asks guests to bring blankets or chairs, so plan what everyone can comfortably carry.


Agree on a meeting point before splitting up to browse.


Food and merchandise purchases are separate from free concert admission, and individual vendors can answer questions about prices and ingredients.


Anyone needing access information should contact the Village before the visit.


The listed information number is 561-753-2484.


Before leaving home, check the official event listing and Wellington’s current weather and event status information.


Statusfy provides updates about weather-related effects on Village events and facilities.


Confirm the notice applies to the planned event and date.


A little preparation can keep a nearby Thursday outing manageable while leaving time for music, food and conversation.


Official Village event calendar

The Mystery Behind the Magic is scheduled for November 7, 2026, from 6 to 9 in the evening at the Wellington Community Center, 12150 Forest Hill Boulevard.


The event is for adults ages 21 and older and features magician and mentalist David Frost.


The Village describes interactive entertainment, a reception and a three-course dinner, replacing the previous murder-mystery format with a magic-focused evening.


Tickets are listed at $60 per person, with limited seating and advance registration encouraged.


Check current availability through CivicRec before making plans.


Guests select individual seats at tables, so friends who want to sit together should coordinate before completing separate purchases.


Keep the confirmations and review the current booking terms.


Doors are listed for 5:30, and formal attire is suggested.


Questions about access, dietary arrangements or other needs should be raised with the organizer before registering.


The published information number is 561-753-2484.


For parents, the Village announcement describes childcare for ages 5 through 12, with registration details and requirements handled separately.


Confirm availability, any applicable charges and arrival and collection arrangements rather than assuming dinner admission includes a childcare booking.


Review current event information before traveling.


The evening offers a Wellington option for adults who want dinner and an audience-focused performance in one local outing.


Official Village event information

Wellington’s Friendsgiving Party for ages 50+ is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 11:30 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon.


The free event takes place at the Wellington Community Center, 12150 Forest Hill Boulevard.


Preregistration is required, and residents should call 561-753-2484 to RSVP and confirm availability.


The gathering is part of the monthly senior luncheon series, described as offering lunch, entertainment, activities and opportunities to socialize.


The published listing does not identify the November menu or entertainment lineup.


Ask staff about dietary requirements, access needs, check-in arrangements and any companion questions before making plans.


If attending with friends, confirm how each person should register rather than assuming one reservation covers the group.


Share the exact address and confirmed timing with anyone providing a ride.


November 10 is the Friendsgiving date, not Thanksgiving Day.


Check the current event listing before leaving home and contact staff if plans change after registration.


The monthly program also lists a December 15 Holiday Party, which should be treated as a separate event with its own arrangements.


For first-time participants, the practical starting point is a telephone call to confirm a place.


A little preparation leaves more room to enjoy lunch and conversation with other local adults.


Official Village event information

Tulum Mexican Cuisine is at 13889 Wellington Trace, Suite A14, with 561-318-5017 listed as its direct number.

The restaurant describes itself as family owned since 2021 and highlights Mexican dishes including birria tacos and molcajetes.


Its homepage also shows fajitas, nachos and street corn.

Call about larger-party seating, accessibility needs, food allergies and any dietary restrictions before arriving.


For pickup, verify the restaurant, order details, collection estimate and final total.

The Wellington page lists children’s options including mini burgers, grilled cheese and chicken tenders.

Check local prices, item availability and promotions rather than assuming another branch’s offers apply.


Discuss allergies and dietary needs directly before ordering.


For larger groups, call about seating, accessibility and timing.


The chain’s published catering page currently specifies pickup from Jupiter only, so do not plan on Wellington catering pickup without direct confirmation.


Lindburgers traces its beginnings to Delray Beach in 1983 and lists Wellington among its South Florida locations.

This guide uses published information and makes no firsthand tasting claims.


The accompanying images are AI-generated illustrations rather than photos of Lindburgers’ actual food.

Its homepage lists two age groups: Lemon Tots for birth through 24 months and Lemon Sprouts for ages 2 through 7.


Confirm current admission arrangements and applicable charges before a visit.


Check the calendar before traveling, since special events and private bookings may involve different arrangements from ordinary play.


Do not assume a day pass includes every scheduled activity.


Ask directly about supervision expectations, current opening times and any preparation needed.


For celebrations, compare each private-party package’s inclusions, duration and terms.


The booking page says final pricing is calculated at checkout, so confirm the quote and arrangements for your group.

Keep the booking confirmation and any special instructions handy, especially when coordinating with another household.
