The 36 best parks and gardens in Boynton Beach

Love the big dog park. However, the mud is too much! That one section (by gazebo) should be replanted & cordoned off as new grass grows! Come on!!

Very nice park to take your morning walk. Now is a doggie park, too, with entrance for both small and larger pets. Did a wonderful job👍 Also, has a nice area for the kiddos to play👍

Very nice park. Parking was the only issue. Me and my family decided to stop here for an unplanned picnic. We had to wait a while to park. There are a number of tables and open areas for a picnic. Restrooms were a little funky, but it is a public park on the weekend. The playground is enclosed and friendly to older and younger children. There is a nice path that leads to a dock with nice views of the mangroves and the Intercoastal. Nice park, but parking really was limited.

This is a wonderful park that combines two things I love, nature and history. At 5.6 acres this park is quite large and has many wonderful amenities. In 2008 and 2009 the park received 1.5 million dollars of improvements, paid for in part by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Education. The land for the park was purchased from the Florida Inland Navigation District. This park has been named the Jaycee Park for about a half century even thought the last local Jaycees chapter closed in 1999. The front section of the park has the improvements made in 2008 which include two children's play areas, one for younger children and one for older, with slides, swings, and climbing structures, shaded by a large ficus tree. There are also two bocce ball courts, sheltered picnic tables, restroom and a walking path. Along the paved path is the Boynton Beach Maritime Heritage Trail which tells you about the history of Boynton Beach, the early settlers, sport fishing, the Boynton Beach inlet, and more. There also signs throughout the park about nurturing nature. The eastern edge of the park has a mangrove nature preserve. Mangroves are important to the environment because hey clean the water and they provide a protective nursery for sea life to spawn. In 2009 a 300 foot boardwalk was added to the park overlooking the Intracoastal for fishing and nature observation. Manatees have been spotted here. It also provides a front row seat for the annual holiday boat parade. To the north of the boardwalk is a small ramp where you can launch a canoe, kayak, or paddle board. I loved reading all of the signs in the park relating to history and nature. There were also several beautiful public art pieces to view as well. This park is a wonderful spot to take the kids to play, picnic, fish, and enjoy the beauty of nature. It is easy to see why this park is such a beloved destination in Boynton Beach.

Nice dog park with a bocce court . Has two separate play areas for dogs under and over 35 lbs. Also has shower stations to clean the dogs. Wish the play areas were bigger though.

A real gem of a park often passed by on Federal Highway. The park is family friendly with some fun activity areas, such as playground area with swing sets, slides, climbing, even a Bocce court as well as a cement sidewalk wide path that encircles the park with frequent informative signs with photos /local history and benches if you desire to just sit back and enjoy the good clean air! The sidewalk on the north side is the most direct to the intracoastal waterway....nearing the water is a ramp continuing to an area to look out or grab a rod and real and catch some fish. Photos included . Hope you enjoy this park!

There is something Magical where the water meets the land...small quaint park, with a well maintained dog park, just off Federal Hwy, with 10-20 parking spots. Also has a fishing pier, on the Intracoastal....great place to meditate...

Took kids here and they are tuckered out now. The splash pad not being manually controlled was only downside. There is alot of bees so be careful of any children running around in the grass. Lovely little flowers all over for kids to play with. The splash pad was def the kicker for the kids. Also many fields to play baseball and football and soccer etc.

Refreshing on this hot day! Great park, playgrounds for all ages. Exercise equipment, tennis courts, nice nature walk. Best part: the splash park!

A great place to spend time with your little ones.It is very well kept and clean with plenty to do. It's perfect for birthday parties and small gatherings for families and children. If you're following your gps it will tell you to make a uturn but you can make a left and keep going for the entrance. In any case you get to the PBS building, there's a walkway to the park as well.

I love this place. I have never been and we had my granddaughter party there and it was awesome the swings the park the water park beautiful and clean restroom as well.

It's a big park 3 different play structures and a nice little splash pad woth a button the kids can push to make the water start! My only problem is that there are 2 ponds very close to the playgrounds which is a little scary with little ones!

What a beautiful park! Built for every level of "able bodies"! Wheelchairs, stimulation area, ramps, swings, those who can't sit up on their own - and walk-paths around & throughout. This is just wonderful ❤

A beautiful park with Great spaces for little ones to explore. Clean and open to watch your kids play on different playgrounds or throughout the park. Lots of seating, lots of things to play on. Also has turf instead of grass by play areas. Theres even am interactive Water area...So bring towels! Free parking too!

Chill park. Big oceanfront 2 story mansion available for events too

The long walk to the park was worth it. The park is clean, picturesque and family friendly. Great views of the water and small wildlife at the conservation area. The park is perfect for being by yourself or with a small group or more. The dog seemed to enjoy it just as much as I did. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

It’s a very nice park with a place you can sit on the intracoastal. it seems like maybe unhoused people are using some of the pavilion / picnic areas to spend their days. Also people that seem to be sleeping or spending all day here in their cars. Maybe the high costs in Florida are making it so this is a place for where they can live during daytime hours.

Relaxing atmosphere. Looks like a great place to go fishing or have a gathering with family and friends.

It's extremely uncomfortable when there's a whole bunch of adults and people without homes watching your children play and they're the only children at the park.....😳 Very uncomfortable. Also...there's no overhead canopy so it's just unbearably hot during the days when it's hot in Florida...which Is usually always. Just because it's near the water doesn't mean kids can still use the slides or swings and not get burns from it.

Great place to relax or have a family picnic, small party or celebration. Well shaded.

Best Fourth of July celebration in Palm Beach County!

We didn’t find a parking space but the beach looks so beautiful and clean. I hope next time we get there earlier. *You have to pay for parking

Beautiful location. There’s lots of parking (we arrived very early in the morning) and tons of beach space. It could certainly benefit from some more cleaning and maintenance, but for a public beach and park, it’s pretty good! There’s also washing stations to take the sand off

The city used to have a gate attendant that charged for parking. Always plenty to be had. Now using a kiosk system. And you will NEVER find a space past noon on a weekend. In the last year, I've seen a park ranger a grand total of once checking license plates for payment. My guess is 90% of the cars are no longer paying and the word is out there's now a 'free parking' beach. So glad we paid for a beach pass that has been rendered completely useless.

Magnificent scenery, easy cheap parking, great wide beach.

Allowing non permitted, non residents to park at the beach is a huge failure. Parking is atrocious, and the lots are frequently full. I'm glad our tax paying residents can enjoy the beach. There were at least 50 cars on line waiting to park, last time we were here. Make sure you remember this when you vote in next year's elections!

It's absolutely gorgeous here! It's right along Boynton Beach with a nice accessible boardwalk from the parking lot to the beach. There are benches overlooking the ocean and the view is spectacular. Parking rates are reasonable, $1.50 an hour.

Omg this place is well kept and beautiful. The sunrise is amazing....come and watch for your self.....

nice lil park. addition of shade sails is nice, but it could perhaps use a few more by the swings. not accessable to special needs kids

This park is located on the intercoastal off of Atlantic Avenue. It has a small children's playground and an Helios Multi Gym exercise machine. The children’s playground is partly covered for a little sun protection, which is a nice feature. There is a large gazebo which often has people inside. Park benches run along the path next to the intercoastal. A path runs under the Atlantic Avenue bridge taking you to the other side of Atlantic Avenue which is an easy way to get across the street here or to get to Deck 84 for drinks or a meal. This is also where Delray Yacht Cruises leave from. There is public parking on the north and west side of the park. It's a nice little park to eat lunch, do yoga or bring the kids.

Checked Google, said Dog Friendly, but no dog signs posted. It's under construction now, but it's still nice little park where you watch a few boats & the drawbridge

I've been going to that park for over 20 years Veterans Park has changed from everything till nothing in it to everything in it festivals you will love that drink Spark It's a family day out just got to school there it's got a playground there it's got everything you would ever need it even got Botox you can go out on a tourism boat for 6 hours and dinner right down the intercoastal look at the pictures of those big boat that doesn't cost that much it's an expensive Veterans Park is the number one parking Delray to catch the cruise ships all the way down the intercoastal for 6 hours dinner and the Sun Knight and Sunrise and Sunset Tours God Bless America and God bless Veterans Park

Gorgeous place, near the canal. Fee parking nearby helps a lot.

Veterans Park has changed over the 50 years I have been in Palm Beach County. I was there for the St. Patrick's Day 50th Anniversary Parade. I had been in a few Delray Beach parades years ago having lived in Delray Beach on 4 different occasions. It's a great city.

Great playground for the kids, restrooms and gazebo on the intracoastal. There’s also a covered area with picnic tables and plenty of lawn space.

Fun Fourth of July walk! Trails were well marked. The whole area is clean and maintain. Missed the gopher tortoise will catch him when things cool

A nice short loop trail with a good mix of sun and shade. There are blue jays and wood peckers in the area.

This was nice, I didn’t see any turtles. There was a ton of HUGE spiders all over going above you to the side of you so if you don’t like spiders do not come here! Also saw a baby snake idk what kind.

Free park. Cute tortoise sanctuary! Its only a 1.15 mile walk but its very sandy[think the beach sandy] so its deeper, a bit harder to walk in[not handicap accessible] along the route if your not used to walking in sand. Saw alot of burrows but no tortoises that walk. It was around 11am so it was starting to get a bit warm. They have nice maps with info and wood trail markers with yellow dots to indicate the trail route.

It was exciting to see the small tortoises sun bathing. I didn’t see any birds maybe because I wasn’t out seeking birds. Here is definitely a quiet relaxing spot to go for a a brisk stroll

This is a small wilderness park in the middle of a busy area. We ended up walking 2 miles by walking all of the marked trails and also along the border of the park. It’s easy to make your walk as short as you want or a great 2 mile walk. It’s a Natural area so it’s not for dogs or ebikes. It’s an opportunity to walk through oldtime south Florida and get back to nature for a little while. The parking lot is small but there were two spaces available on a Wednesday in December. Most people are here for a short amount of time so if you don’t find parking, just wait for someone to leave.

Lovely place. Very spacious, well marked trail. The paved loop is short and mostly shaded. The yellow trail is partially shaded. No bathrooms or trash in this natural area. Bring water with you. Lots of animals, great place to let the kids run.

Love the boat and kayak ramps. Plenty of beautiful views and some wildlife too. Would like to relax here and maybe do a little fishing.

I come here to mediate and walk, it is very lit and secure at night. The view is amazing early in the morning and also at night. Enjoy😊💕

Nice place to watch boats on the intracoastal, coming in and out of the Boynton Beach Inlet. There is a boat ramp, rest rooms, and a board walk for walking and fishing.

If you are looking for a secluded place to relax and unwind this place has it. Walking around this place there are many benches for you to sit and watch the boats go by and take a good view of the water way. Lots of trees with blooming flowers at least when I went. You can watch the boat dock or head on out to the ocean. There was a couple fishing from the deck and they actually caught something. Once again you want to relax and unwind this is the place. Also if you want to bring the kiddies there is a play ground for then to enjoy themselves.

Went kayaking yesterday. Paddle Away Sports launches from there. Kayaks and paddleboards. Great way to spend a few hours. Fresh air (no mask needed), beautiful scenery, lovely water and exercise too!! Very affordable.

It's a small park BUT nice sea view and deck. Some time live music and showing movie .Lots of free parking space and good for marina

I'm a fish so you know that I love the beach

I go to watch the sunrise a few times a week. I love this place. There are a few different parks in this immediate area. All of them are awesome.

Was lucky enough to find a parking spot to finally check out this beach. Parking is very limited but it is free which is nice the beach wasn’t too crowded and I had a great relaxing time

We were walking on the A1A with baby girl. We stop there only to sit and eat something. It was peaceful and beautiful. This place is a little oasis.

I love free bleeding at this beach/ocean. Only annoying thing is dog owners who don't pick up after their nasty animals feces when it's a no dog beach. Free parking and chill.

Every time after a storm. 24-48 hours later... Like it never happened

It's a nice little getaway from the busyness around ,wish it was longer as it would be nice to see and take a break from reality. Was able to see many different wildlife around , even got to know the native species from the locals around that would take more detailed pictures of them. Would recommend staying hydrated as around the time I was there (end of August) the heat is felt but intensified by the humidity.

Best, most friendly, clean, and wholesome beach! The regulars are so sweet and welcoming! *shout outs to the sunrise crew lol*. The City of Boynton Beach provides buckets for those looking to clean up the beach, which many locals take part in (side note: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU GUYS DO TO KEEP OUR TURTLES AND WILDLIFE SAFE). The lifeguards and concession staff are incredibly accommodating and easygoing. I've met several people who drive over an hour to come to our beach rather than the beach in their own towns. If you are looking for a PLEASANT experience (not to mention... gawker-free), Oceanfront is the place to go.

This park has been a staple location for my family to visit. Sometimes we just watch the dogs in the dog park area. There are 2 sides there. Sometimes one is closed but when it's not there is a small dog and larger dog side. There are 2 playgrounds. The photos are of the larger one that has canopies for shade. The larger playground offers a section for toddlers say up to 3 years old. The older kids will have lots of options on the other side including monkey bars, 2 slides, a rock wall, and more.

Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy this park. Its gotten out of control with the dogs off the leash. Its the law people unless your at the dog park keep yours own a leash. If you visit be sure to have an aggressive breed yourself that is also off the leash to even the playing field and ensure your own safety.

I use the park primarily as a walking path, one complete loop is approximately two miles. Enjoy the shores of Lake Ida and it's scenic beauty.

Apparently the whole park is a dog park and none of them are on leashes. From German Shepherds to Pit bulls none of them. I tried to walk my dog here but other dogs run up to him freely so he is not safe from these advances or a possible dog fight. Not safe and not kid friendly or family friendly. You can’t go to the playground walk the trail eat at the picnic table. There was literally a German Shepherd standing on one. There is dog park but that doesn’t seem to make a difference here.

Simply the best park I have ever been to. The scenery is fantastic! I visit as often as I can to walk along the trail or to relax and mediate and pray! If you have kids there is a playground area as well lots of picnic tables with individual BBQ

What a beautiful park! Came here for the first time for a baby shower and loved the scenery, the breeze off the water, and the shade which made it a nice vibe even when it was a hot day!

The playground is big and the bathrooms aren't far. A few benches to sit and watch the kids play. It is a dog friendly park and has picnic areas around.

The playground equipment at this park is great for older kids ages 5-12. My kids loved the 2 see-saws, especially the double seater see-saw. The structure to climb on is unique and fun, with a super tall slide. There's lots of shade and sitting areas. There are 2 baby swings. There is a basketball court, 2 tennis courts, a workout area, and sand volleyball, which is a nice feature. The bathrooms, however, had toilet paper stuck to the ceiling, and my kids couldn't use the restroom because it was too dirty, so we had to leave to use the bathroom elsewhere. I don't know if this is a common complaint here with vandalism or if it just needs to be kept up more. There was also yellow tape on one of the climbing features, which I guess they are in the process of fixing, so we just stayed off that part of the equipment. We give it four stars. It just needs some attention to the bathrooms/cleaning.

A great little park, definitely fun for the older kids! The playground is a great workout for them!

I brought my kids to this park and they totally love it. Great, fun and safe structure for kids. Swings were old but I love the park overall. Not the best park but we had a lot of fun. There are a lot of residents around this park but general profile is not as elite as some other parks I have been to.

I really love this park due to the fact it’s very shaded in the playground area. I’m able to bring my dog as well which is a plus! Only downside the playground area is little more advanced for older toddlers. Wish they had another area for younger toddlers. Also wish they didn’t have woodchips. Park has been clean and plenty of parking. Definitely coming back!

Cute park with 2 hard tennis courts that are first come first serve. Plenty of free parking by the courts as well as bathrooms on site as well as beach volley ball and basketball court. This park has been a nice amenity for the city of Boynton Beach for many decades and gets well used by the community. The tennis court could use some upgrades as the fencing is coming apart and there seems to be some issues with the court surface as orange cones are place around both courts. Both courts do have lights for night play but I haven't checked out the quality for night play yet. Note: the pickle ball courts across the street are not park of the parks department they belong to the condo community. The best part of these tennis courts is the width between each court to give your plenty of room to play doubles and hit angled shots. Check out my video tour attached.

Perfect 👌 love going there for my boys to play basketball. Safe environment. There is always security in the area.

Park has tennis courts, basketball, bocce ball court, walking trail, and pavilions and I think barbecue grills. Also a playground for kiddos Parking can be challenging. And they have restrooms. And dog friendly

Lake Ida East Park is operated by Palm Beach County and is a peninsula that extends from the south shore of the lake to the north. It is 20 acres in size making it one of the larger parks in Delray. Note that it's quite deep into the residential neighborhood so be respectful of the neighborhood as you come and go. While the park does not have a boat launch (see Lakeview Park to the east), there are launches for canoes and kayaks. Fishing is allowed here with a permit. There are a number of picnic areas with barbecue grills, a picnic pavilion that can be reserved through the county and a nearby playground with restroom facilities. This park shares the parking lot with the Delray Beach Playhouse. On a warmer morning, it was nice to be near the water. On a hot day, it's got to be fabulous.

This is terrible 😞 every time I pick up the trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️ along the paths while walking and this pavilion #11 Always someone sit and smoke their life away no using the trash can so close!!! Shame

Smaller than west park. Nice clean bathroom. Small playgroup. Plenty of fishing. Saw snakes and fish.

Beautiful! We love to go feed the duck and duckling..there a lot of iguana.beautiful nature walk.... some people fish there too....good to relax...

It was very interesting to see the other side of Ida lake ! I was unaware that you could go there

Lake Ida Park (including dog park) is just beautiful, maintained very well, and has something for every age. Of course the dog park is our favorite place - we have 3 dogs. There are also many pavilions for outside (covered) events such as BBQ's, parties, etc. There are beautiful walking/jogging trails. Boat ramps for Lake Ida, beaches, etc. Go see how beautiful this huge park is. Just east of Congress Ave on Lake Ida Road.

Lovely spot to picnic by the water before attending the beautiful Delray Beach Playhouse!

This is very nice neighborhood park. If you don't live in the area there is no reason to make a trip out here but if you do live near here this is a great place to take the kids to play and help you keep active. The park only has about 6 parking spaces. There is a small pavilion and playground. The main attraction of the park is the large green space perfect for kids to run around on or play football or soccer games. The perimeter fitness path that runs at the edge of the field is a half mile and can be used for running, walking, and biking. Dogs are allowed if they are on leashes.

Beautiful Park with a clean play ground that has turf grass which is so much better than mulch or rubber particles. The playground equipment is really nice and adequately sized for smaller children 2 and under which is great for our little one, as well as 2 and up. Has a track/walking path with a large grass area in the center.

This is a nice neighborhood park, but not great. Pros: Swings for babies (2) and big kids (2). Very shady from large trees which encourages wildlife. Great walking trail with some shade for stroller or dog walks. enough benches. Pavilion, but you need to bring chairs to use Cons: only playground slide area is definitely for toddlers (says 2 -5, but i would say 2 -3). The area for age 5 - 12 is a climbing apparatus. It is a good climbing apparatus, not too big not too small, but limits play types. Has a tendency to flood when it rains. Not much parking (it is a neighborhood park though). No fenced in area.

Clean, fun playground but not huge, nice walking path and dog poop bags for walking your dog.

Amazing place for childerens. There is also a good walk path and workout place.

Super nice park. Love the training track and it is a very clean park. Just 4 parking (1 for handicapped) so most of the time it is full. Also has kids playground and a lot of Pokemon GO stops (including gym)

Does your dog like squirrels? Well the number of squirrels is inversely proportional to the number of parking spaces. And there are only four of those (two regular and two handicapped) so ... A lot of squirrels for my dogs to want to chase. A bit small with a trail and some health or exercise areas but a nice place for a quick dog walk.

Small park, only a little park for kinds. No bathroom in this park. Small parking. A lot of people go there with dogs. Some people go there to smoke. Sometimes is weird this park. You need to bring your own water and snacks. You don't have nothing close to buy snacks.

Dog friendly (off leash is the norm, so excited to bring our pup). Small playground and a little castle, basketball court too. No bathrooms, very few parking spots. Plenty of trash cans.

Cute little park in an easy to access location. It has potential to be a cozy place to spend an hour or two with your family, but at the time of my visit it was very unkempt. An outdoor playground and baseball field are among amenities. Decent amount of parking.

I normally have a nice experience at TwoJay's but the French soup I had for a quick lunch took a long time to be served, it was boiling hot. Overall not the best experience..

2.5 million is wrapped up in the project so far. with that budget I dont see its completion happening any time soon. Frankly I find it wasteful, because for a public space like that the labor and supplies could of been obtained from a voluntary basis.

The play ground is in desperate need of an upgrade. There are peices missing off the playground and kids could get hurt. My husband builds playgrounds for a living and refuses to let our kids play here. A little funds could go a long way at this park.

Basketball court needs some TLC lol every rim is bent but we still have fun and the castle looks fun for the kids so. 3 stars 🌟 🌟🌟

Great fpr launching a boat not sure about the actual park i was there at night

3rd Review I love Knowles Park !!! 2nd Review Awesome, small park perfect for picnics! 1st Review Knowles Park is a small, quiet park that is a great resting spot on a walk or a bike ride, and it also has boat ramps to provide public access to the Intercoastal Waterway for jet skis, boats and fishermen. There is a shaded picnic area with barbecue grills, restroo.s and a children's j playground. The water views are small but stunning !

Nice place, well maintained...but a lot of trush (beer. Energies drinks cans) Look like a spot for homeless at night...

We go to the park for the convenience of the location. It’s a great starting point for walking US1 and A1A between George Bush Blvd and Linton Blvd. The park has some grassy areas for picnicking but its primary feature is the boat ramp for boating enthusiasts

It's actually the worst park. Pay to park. Go to Lake Ida or Caloosa instead.

A clean parking to bring your kids and it has a beautiful view to the river and a boat dock and beautiful homes to see

This park is pretty quaint. It has a small playground, public restrooms, boat launching access, dock, and an art structure. I visited this park as kind of a making peace with my relationship that has come to an end. I spent the greater part of the night just listening to the things that had happened to her in the past handful of years, all while sitting on the red art piece. Needless to say, we had visited this place a few times and have found it to be a cute little spot for a small picnic, a quiet place to talk, and a good place to sit and think. I wish all of you luck in all you do.

First time visiting this little nature preserve, I did not see any animals, but unfortunately lots of trash, they should have garbage cans near the entrance, I was the only one visiting and walked the park in less than 15 minutes. I probably won't be back but at least there is this tiny piece of land for nature

Overall I would not recommend people to visit this area. There is trash everywhere, low vegetation diversity, not much overhead tree shade, scarce animal presence, and I didn't feel safe here. Only a handful of parking spaces for visitors. Locals clearly do not care about keeping their natural areas clean which is such a shame to see. I think this is a nice place for locals to get a quick walk in during a work break but that's it - this is absolutely not a place for non-locals to enjoy. I would recommend visiting the PBC parks and rec website for a list of better nature trails to visit such as okeeheelee nature center and john prince park.

Quiet place. I was turned off by the smell in the parking lot (urine). 5 parking spaces. No trash cans. We didn't see any animals.

Nice place and very close to Elements KBF Italian Cabinet Store.

Today was my first visit to this natural reserve, I love it!

At only 14 acres, this is one of the smallest natural areas in a Palm Beach County. It is named for the Florida rosemary plant, a relative of the cooking herb. Look for the large flowered rosemary. Other plants that have been found here include milk pea, red morning glory, love vine, netted paw paw, cabbage palm, native bromeliads, nodding pinweed, giant sword fern, wild pine airplanes, and pricklypear cactus. Animals that have been seen here include the Florida scrub lizard, gopher tortoises, Cooper's hawk, Merlin, Osprey, and painted bunting. Two paths make their way through the scrub habitat. The Red Bay Trail is a .16 mile paved trail. The Sandy Gopher Apple Trail is a quarter of a mile. This natural area is made of very rare scrub habitat which contains many unique plants and animals. It is located at high, dry elevations which are where developers like to build so consequently there is very little of it left. This area was once slated to be a shopping center on a once busy intersection. In the mid 1980's during the construction of I-95, Miner Road was cut in two which killed the flow of traffic. In the 1990's the land was eyed for home construction but a decline in the economy halted the project paving the way for the land to be acquired by Palm Beach County. Honestly if you want a nice nature trail just go to Wakodahatchee or Green Cay. There isn't much to see here. The trails are short, in full sun, and I got painfully bit up by large flying black insects. There is garbage along the trail and invasive species are choking out the native plants. The value in the preserve is it is a piece of land that was saved from development and it provides a refuge for threatened gopher tortoises although hopefully they won't eat the garbage thoughtlessly left behind. My advice is just skip this place.

This cozy Natural Area offers a glimpse of nature right in the middle of a neighborhood. Easy to find and access, but at the time of my visit, it was unfortunately filled with trash from the parking lot to the paved and unpaved walking paths.

Our next family adventure take us to Centennial Park & Amphitheater located in Boynton Beach with a category of 4.9 and more than 47 reviews, this park organized an family event called Boynton Beach Night Market. They have activities for all members of the family, music, food for almost 10 different countries, is great opportunity to share memories together like family Free music concert today's reggae style when the night come out is when everything is going crazy. One thing I like is the security from the government to this events is amazing.

I recently visited this beautiful park and was blown away by its serene atmosphere and top-notch amenities. The lush greenery and well-maintained trails made for a lovely walk. But the real highlight was the amphitheater - what a gem! The sound quality was superb, and the seating area was spacious and comfortable. I attended a concert there, and it was truly magical. The park's design allows for an intimate connection between the performers and the audience. I can't wait to come back and enjoy more events here. If you're looking for a peaceful escape or a vibrant entertainment spot, this park has it all. Five stars and a big thumbs up from me!

Great time and music. Bravo Boynton Beach. Boynton Beach Night Market was a great event.

🎉 Centennial Park & Amphitheater did it again! 🎊 We've been to numerous family-friendly events at this wonderful venue, and each time it never disappoints. 👪🌟 The Boynton Beach Night Market was an absolute blast! 🌙💃 It was an enjoyable evening filled with shopping local and exploring the fantastic businesses in the Boynton Beach area. 🛍️🏖️ The event was alive with live music 🎶, exciting kids games 🎈, bouncy inflatables 🏰, creative face painting 🎨, mouthwatering food trucks 🍔🚚, and so much more! 🎪🎈 For those interested, you can easily find upcoming events listed at the Boynton Beach CRA, Boynton Beach Library, and online. 🗓️📚💻 Don't miss out on all the fun and community spirit! 🥳👋 Join us on our Facebook group for more local events- search under #thingstodoinFloridawithkids #festivals #nightmarketboyntonbeach #boyntonbeachcra

Came here for the Pirate Fest with my mom and toddler. We absolutely loved it. So well organized and well thought!!!! Love the vibe, the grass esplanade, everything was awesome!!!!

First Friday of the month is a fun experience. There is a band, food trucks and fun times

Great Fair. Great for kids. Children activities were FREE. Lots of food trucks reasonable prices for food. Lots of police, very safe.

Nice neighborhood park. included seesaws and basketball. not a lot of traffic which is good since not fenced.

The City of Boynton Beach has not done a lot to beautify this park. The park sign has been missing for over 5 years. The sprinklers come on and waters the basketball ball court! Wasting water.

Nice enough park but absolutely full of litter and garbage.

No one there. Quiet, grass mowed, nice.

Beautiful place to hand out and enjoy.

Very calm. Nice to enjoy the evening

Its perfect because of the everything

It’s a nice spot to chill during the day.

Love the Upgrade. Nicer Noww

There for a funeral service of my best friend, missionary Priscilla Isaac! Heartfelt loss I will truly miss her! ♥️

Drove through, & received a THANKSGIVING Turkey 🦃

Boynton Beach Always show love at park. Excellent place for Reunion

I was so surprised to see how beautiful this park has become. The city did an amazing job creating a lovely environment for kids to play and the community to enjoy.

Not for small children at all. No way for them to climb. Only for big kids that can climb ladders.

Decent little community park. Apparently, dogs are not allowed as we were approached because my friend brought his dog. Not much parking as shown in the picture below

To my dog for a quick walk it's a very clean park even has poop bags to pick up after your dog

Beautiful, quiet little neighborhood park with playground, tennis, volleyball, basketball, picnic tables, restrooms, boat launch, and fishing dock

It was really fun, but it NEEDS a vending machine for drinks or at least add a water fountain.

Please be careful!! Parks floors are falling apart, some are very close to rusting all the way through

We go for the boat launch / ramp. Use the left hand ramp if launching a jet ski, the right hand ramp drops off fast! Convenient and not busy. Not a lot of trailer parking though. They have a nice park for kids. Site is clean!

Pioneer Canal Park is named for the water way the park sits on and the first settlers to the area. The C-16 canal was dug over 100 years ago. The canal runs east to west and allows boaters to connect to the north and south running E-4 canal. From the C-16 canal you can also reach Lake Osborne to the north and Lake Ida to the south. The canal is managed by the South Florida Water Management District who is responsible for dredging it. The park has four trailer spots and a boat ramp to allow water craft access to the water. There is also a small pier for fisherman. In addition to an entrance to the canal, the park also has a basketball court, BBQ grills, benches, drinking fountain, open play area, pavilion, picnic tables, playground, restroom, tennis courts, and sand volleyball court. During my visit the picnic tables and bathroom were occupied by homeless people. Other than that the primary residents of the park were iguanas. The park is open every day from sunrise to sunset. The lighted sports facilities are open until 10:00 p.m.

Actually a nice clean little park with a decent playground set, swings, basketball courts, and a paved walk circling the grounds. They just need to fix the drinking fountain.

It’s a nice park, but nobody is here and the parking lot is full.

this park has great potential! but the city does not maintain it as well as they could. if they would turn on sprinklers (which in 3yrs I've never seen them on) and pick up trash it would be great! I see city employees & speak to them about the sprinklers and they always say that they are broken, waiting for parts. Wish the city cared about taking care of it more. It's a sweet little spot

Fantastically cute little park. Has a small playground area, a basketball court and a relatively large field. A few benches littered around the park. There's a grill and picnic area, parking is light with only about six spots but this little hidden gem doesn't get much traffic anyhow

Betty Thomas passed away in 2011. She was committed to the school system and her community. She served as a teacher, assistant principal and principal. During her lifetime she received many honors and awards. When she joined Boynton Beach Board of Parks and Recreation she was influential in establishing many parks. It is only fitting then that a park was dedicated to her in 2007 in the community she so loved. The Betty Thomas Park is a small neighborhood park running along the railroad tracks. Park amenities include a basketball court, benches, bike rack, open play area, playground, restrooms, picnic tables, and a grill. Unless you live in the neighborhood you probably wouldn't visit this small park. Still it is nice that the community chose to honor one of it's influential residents this way.

Could definitely be better maintained by the city. I was there today jogging and I saw a pretty large black snake. Not very safe when there are children present.

A mid-sized park in a middle of a neighborhood. Decent amount of parking available in an easy to access location. Picnic tables, outdoor playground, and basketball courts are available.

Good place to walk for exercise and walk the dogs...the play area doesn't have much but we make due with games. Large softball field to play kickball, tee ball etc...

Adjacent and north of Galaxy Park is a 5 acre sand pine preserve which has gopher tortoises and is owned by the City. It was owned by the School Board but was swapped with City owned land on Boynton beach blvd to create a better footprint for the platinum LEED Galaxy Elementary School. The Sand Pine Preserve was in jeopardy because the new City Comission wanted to give the land to Habitat for Humanity to build 22 houses for low income people selected from Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach. This was only stopped because volunteer Sierra Club members found the deed documents which stated the school board would give the land to the City if the City agreed to maintain it as a nature preserve and informed the City Commission of the provisions of the deed. Plus the school board did not cave into City Commission requests to waive the deed restrictions. 9 months later the City is starting to fulfill its obligations by instructing the Rec and Park Dept. to assist in organizing volunteer work outings with Galaxy Elementary school to remove exotic and invasive plants. The City Commission also approved $30,000 in the 2018-19 city budget to assist in maintaining the preserve so it can be utilized by Galaxy Elementary school as an outdoor classroom.

Nice Park

The best of the bestz!

Totally awesome!!!!

(Translated by Google) Not a child anywhere near us (Original) Kein Kind weit uns breit

Always filled with trash on the floor even though trash cans are empty. Now they’ve removed the playground equipment and all that’s left is one monkey bar type piece.

Nice place for sports.

(Translated by Google) It has goals, only there are shallow sand holes in the ground. (Original) Tiene porterías, solo que hay hoyos de arena en el suelo poco profundos.

Nice district full of shops, restaurants and a few stylish hotels

Love the vibe and nice restaurants !!

Beautiful town

(Translated by Google) A neighborhood that you absolutely must discover on foot. Beautiful houses to admire, colorful murals, inviting restaurants and more. (Original) Un quartier qu’il faut absolument découvrir à pieds. De très belles maisons à admirer, des murales colorées, des restaurants invitant et plus encore.

Quite Peaceful

One of Delray's larger parks, the name gives it away. This park is located on the eastern shore of Lake Ida in a very nice residential neighborhood. There is a big parking area and a boat launch with space for cars with trailers. The park has a big pavilion that can be reserved from the city (see the web page for info). Picnic tables throughout, barbecue grills, a nice playground, a permanent building with restrooms and a walking trail that goes around the park. From the lakeside, you can enjoy the birds, perhaps do some fishing, or watch over in the distance as the cars go northbound on I-95. I found it quite peaceful.

Nice little get away

Nice place for a boardwalk nature stroll. You will see plenty of turtles, iguanas, rabbits. A varied amount of birds and ducks. There’s a gator or two that comes out of hiding occasionally. The walk ranges from just under a mile to slightly over a mile depending on which path you take. The majority of the walk is uncovered and your right above the water on a boardwalk so it can get hot when sunny. Some portions are covered with tree canopy and there are also small gondolas along the path with benches to rest. Nice escape from city life in the middle of Delray.

Such a beautiful boardwalk! You can choose between a full mile or a shorter 1/2 mile loop that winds through swamps and wetlands. There are signs all along the path with animals to look out for, which made it extra fun for my two toddlers. If you’re going during the heat of the day—bring a stroller! It was hot when we went. There are shaded spots, gazebos, and little huts along the way, but the sun still gets intense. Inside, there’s a nature center with cool animals like snakes, frogs, and other Florida creatures. They also offer free tours and a scavenger hunt just for the kiddos. Bonus points: there’s a changing table in the women’s bathroom. Love when places think of the moms!

Nice boardwalk, easy to walk on. A lot of birds, turtles, and iguanas. We didn't see any alligators today. The Nature Center was open so we were able to get some nice pictures in there also. Three baby alligators in there, along with mounted animals, and live frogs and snakes. It's a beautiful place, very quiet and peaceful, you'd never know the real world is right next door.

Awesome place. It was busy for sure, but it was full of wildlife and just captivating for lack of a better word. I can't wait to go back! We saw so many varieties of birds and turtles, we saw gators and iguanas... it was truly a good time.

About 1.5-mile boardwalk winding through 100 acres of wetlands. It’s perfect for birdwatching, spotting wildlife like turtles and alligators, rabbits, birds, ducks and enjoying a relaxing walk in nature. The nature center was closed (I visited the park on Saturday at about 3pm). But overall the place is clean, well-maintained, great for a calm day outdoors and nature photography. Free admission, and definitely worth a visit!

First time visit, this was absolutely amazing. To have a natural walk through real wildlife and catch the beautiful colors in different birds and truly just a amazing view. And it's FREE!!!!

What a great place to visit. First time and was really impressed! So peaceful and beautiful! Saw many birds and flowers. Went with my husband, we took lunch and ate at one of the many tents or huts available through the walk. Highly recommend!

We are so blessed in Palm Beach County to have this amazing National Wildlife Refuge. It costs $10 to enter, or you can get a yearly pass for $25 per carload, which is well worth it if you are going to visit often. The visitor center, when you enter, is worth a stop to get maps and for staff/volunteers to share what sitings have been reported back to them from visitors. I was able to enjoy the Sandhill Cranes walking their baby because of this information with the location and all and so precious. Behind the visitor center is Cypress Swamp Boardwalk that wraps back around . It's a nice start to your journey their. It's .4 - mile and several benches a long the way. Their is a self- guided pamphlet you can pick up at the boardwalk entrance, which detail what you will be seeing. Their are also bathrooms outside and in the visitors center. All very clean. In the visitor center you can also fill up your water bottle at the fountain to stay hydrated and they have a wonderful gift shop. The visitor center also has a great display and an opportunity to ride a virtual air boat and take an adventure with beautiful graphics being under the stars at night their theater. You can also book tram tours to take you around the refuge to get familiar with the area. Once in the refuge the walk is all open. I'm not as fearful as I was in the beginning. It is nature and the animals like the bobcats or Alligators or raccoons or Marsh rabbits may just look at you for the moment and go their merry way.

Such an interesting and atmospheric park! The entrance fee is $10 — if no one is at the gate, you can pay online. Many people come here to watch the sunset — and it’s totally worth it. I was lucky enough to spot three alligators during my walk! You can rent a kayak (self-service, paid online), and there’s a route map showing where you might encounter wildlife along the way. It felt a bit scary, so we didn’t go kayaking this time — but definitely will next time! You can also bike, fish, or bring your own boat. There are restrooms both at the beginning and end of the trail, which is convenient. If you want to explore the whole area on foot, plan for about 2–3 hours. A great spot for nature lovers, outdoor adventures, and unexpected wildlife encounters 🐊🌿

Recently stumbled upon this place and it’s perfect. So many trails to explore, great fishing spots, an observation tower, not overly crowded and peaceful. Whether you plan to walk, run, bird watch this place has it all.

Nice, quiet and off the beaten path reserve! I went in the middle of the day on a Monday and it was very quiet. There is a short walk in a Cypress Swamp by the visitor center (first two photos) and a mile long loop around a drainage area (second two photos) along with a connection to the main reserve area at the end of the main road (not pictured). You are very exposed to the elements so be sure to bring a hat and sun protection clothes!

For anyone craving a sense of freedom and natural wonder should visit here! The visitor center is also beautiful, the volunteers are kind, and the gift shop’s bird mugs are adorable—I had to get one :)

The tram makes a nice visit on a hot day. Reservations are required. Goes from 10am - noon. Free with parking admission. We saw 2 deer playing which made my day. Next time I go hoping to see the Bobcats

The lady at the entrance was so very friendly and helpfully kind. We were just driving out after a friend told us about the ramp. She is a treasure. We drove down to the lake but it was too over cast to watch the sunset. However the place is so very beautiful and peaceful. It was a cool evening and we sat on a bench on the boardwalk and watch the 🦆 🐟 and the 🐠 play and the men 🐠 lol 😆 It's a great place to relax in the evening and watch the sun set I'll definitely be returning

The parks of Sunny Isles Beach are immaculate and Intracoastal Park South is a shinning example. It is part of the Intracoastal Parks, a linear park system made up of four smaller parcels to create an Intracoastal Park north and an Intracoastal Park south. This waterfront park boasts a green landscape with picnic benches, seating, a bike rack, paved walkway, and public art. The linear parks contain a set of three abstract cement and metal sculptures inspired by the elements and environment of South Florida, "Seawhisper", "Rain", and "Converge". At the southernmost portion of the park is the fenced Dezer Family Playground donated by Michael Dezer, an Israeli-American real estate developer, car collector, billionaire, and founder of Dezer Properties which has investments in New York and Florida real estate. I have always admired this park on my way to Bal Harbour and Surf Side but there is no parking at the park or anywhere nearby. It seems to have been made primarily for those living in and visiting the tower hotels and condos across the street on the beach.

Love this playground but this is dangerous and should be fixed

Such an awesome place for kids and pets.

Beautiful views, love it

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Nice park but too close to the boulevard (Original) Beau parc mais trop près du boulevard

(Translated by Google) Just a wonderful children's playground! (Original) Просто замечательная детская площадка!

This was such an enjoyable experience! My brother found this Park during his visit from NY , which turned out to be a short ride away. We both love animals and took the VIP tour with an amazing tour guide Paige. We both loved all the animals so it’s hard to say which was our favorite, but the otters were definitely at the top! Paige did a great job throughout the tour with all the details about the animals that were surprising to some of us. She was very knowledgeable and super friendly and funny. Overall a truly wonderful experience!

This place was AMAZING!! If you love animals and want to experience being up close and personal with them, this is it! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and it is by far the best present ever. They have a lot of different animals and they have backstories of how they got there and some of these stories are amazing! We got to feed Joey’s and hold one, we got to feed porcupines and capybaras. The otters were amazing we got to sit with them and pet them. My boyfriend also added on the monkeys and we got time after the tour with 2 squirrel monkeys, one was 6 months old! She was so sweet and the other was swinging around eating fruit, and just had us laughing! The staff is super friendly and everyone had a smile on their face. Our tour guide, Shelly was awesome!!! She was very knowledgeable and took her time with us explaining things and answering questions. Never felt rushed once. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get up close and personal with animals!!

This place is amazing! We spent $25 a person and it was well worth it! This place is privately owned so they offer tours by appointment only. We had a great guide named Shelly who gave us all the fun facts about all of the animals. She was very friendly, even to the other people who didn’t listen to her instructions. You can tell she likes working there! This guided tour was more than we all expected. I had my mom, boyfriend, 5 year old and 11 year old with me and they all loved it! We got to pet kangaroos, a sloth and feed goats! It felt like we were there much longer than the hour. You had plenty of time to spend with the animals and there was no rush. This place is a must-go, especially for kids.

This place is absolutely amazing. Had such a great time and tour guide Shelly was great. She took us through the tour and was very informative. The experience is like no other place I have been before. It is an up close interactive tour with animals. It’s not just a walk through and look. Each section we stopped and talked about each animal and many we got to interact with. You get to feed capybaras, play and pet otters, pet sloths and feed goats. We also did an add on where we got to hold and feed spider monkeys. It was a truly amazing experience. If you know an animal lover this is the place for them. Shelly was a great tour guide answering questions and was very welcoming. We never felt rushed or hurried during the tour. Absolutely loved everything here will definitely be back

We had a great experience! And so happy to have had Alec lead our group. We had our barely two yr old daughter with us so I was a little worried about how much walking the tour would include / if I should bring a stroller but the walking was perfectly manageable for a two yr old. She had so much fun! The only add on we booked was the kangaroo hold but we really didn’t even need to book that because my daughter just wanted to pet them which is included in the tour, along with feeding the goats and the camels and petting a sloth. It was perfect and not too short or too long. A really fun morning for the whole group! After reading a few other reviews, I just wanted to edit this to add that it was extremely evident how much the staff and owners care about these animals. They all would experience a far worse fate if they hadn’t found themselves in the care of animal EDventures. The staff was extremely careful with all animal interactions and made sure our two yr old was capable of petting exactly as instructed. Every animal we were allowed to pet we were given precise instruction before hand - I.e, do not pet their tummy, only flat hand on their back, etc. The staff was excellent and the animals were all so visibly happy and healthy and spoiled!

Kayla was absolutely amazing!!! Super friendly and very informative about every animal... including all their names, stories, answering questions and funny. Highly recommend doing upgraded tour for sure. Wish we would have done the swimming with the otters for sure, but getting to play with them was the highlight for us all for sure!!! The kangaroos were awesome also, feeding them and holding a baby. Everyone there is doing such a great job and hats off to all of you. Also, watching the shaved headed guy with tattoos, sorry I don't know his name, but he was playing in the cage with the spider monkey and it had us cracking up for sure. Thank you all and especially Kayla!!! God I hope i didn't mess up her name😁

Wow! What an amazing adventure, or should I say EDventure? Haha. Truly though, a wonderful experience, very educational and Kayla was a great tour guide. We went for my birthday and had to reschedule due to weather; but rescheduling was a breeze and they were great communicating in advance and on the day of. Facilities are exceptionally clean and well maintained and animals are all well cared for. Touring in October is an extra special experience since the grounds are decorated for Halloween. I believe they also decorate for the holiday season though I haven't seen it myself. Advance purchase tickets or reservations are a must for this private property. Follow their guidance and have fun, it was well worth the trip. We went for the behind the scenes VIP tour and had a blast playing with otters, petting a sloth and kangaroos, and feeding porcupines and capybaras.

My 3 years old daughter likes this playground. There are a lot of shadows, and it has water splashes it helps in sunny days. It has a big grass area to play games. It has a a tables flyover take a lunch. And a lot parking slots. Really good place for kids.

My kids' favorite park so far. We made a few friends. Very clean, lots of grass for picnic or play with ball. Nice family oriented place. Spent there few hours

It’s really nice spot for kids specially for the toddlers ❤️ My son had great time .

Park has limited shade and is not geared towards elderly with shaded seating areas. Park needs to be available for use by all age cohorts. Seems to be dominate theme with Aventura parks. Limited seating areas with shade to allow all age cohorts to interact

Great little park. The play structure is nice and looks well maintained with shade for the sunny days. There is restroom facilities on site and parking available by the entrance. My kid loved it. Although I believe this is a resident only park there is no guard checking id's. On the plus side, there are a few tables so you can make it a day.

Very nice park, clean has a restroom, fenced and felt safe, it has a good amount of shade, I will definitely come back.

I like to take my children to this park. well taken care of and plenty of parking. Park has bathroom, water fountains and a small path for bicycles/rollerblades. Everytime I had to interact with other parents all of them seemed to me very nice. Recommend 👍

A small park located on a corner with two large beautiful shade trees and park benches. A quiet place to sit, relax and enjoy a few quiet minutes.

Small but an adorable park next to our park Ranger office & hurricane alley restaurant and bar.

Park is only good for walking your dog and even then you have to pay close attention because of all the chicken bones thrown on the ground, it’s right next to the park rangers and it’s never cleaned up, there’s overflowing recycling containers always full on the edge of the park, beer cans and food boxes always left on the tables, and half the time there’s cars on the grass parked by the dumpsters at the park rangers back door. None of the lights work in the trees. Christmas they spent all this money to wrap the trees in lights and they all worked at the same time for about one night, then when one set work the other didn’t eventually by about a week and half before Christmas none worked. It just sucks because it would actually be a nice park if there was some upkeep and the lanterns in the trees worked which you would think wouldn’t be that hard to accomplish seeing how it’s next door to the Park Rangers.

Amazing festival space! Mermaids and pirates make the park so exciting

Good place to enjoy a little tree with bench to sit at. The city keeps the little tree looking it's best for the different holidays. We thank you City of Boynton Beach for keeping our natural resources beautiful & clean.🏝

Very relaxing spot. There's some art/festive decorations when I've been there. Not very big and near the train track so it can get loud but it's also by some nice restaurants and cafes so that is a big plus.

The reason I am giving only 1 star is b/c while dining at this establishment my fiancée was stung by a Great Black Wasp. Yes, this is harmless, but the way that the situation was mishandled was what received this establishment its rating. We are dining inside next to the window. While attempting to continue w/ our meal his arm around the area is beginning to swell so he informs our waitress who does the correct thing & inform the manager. The manager then approaches by stating that she was told he claimed to be stung even after being shown the area. When corrected & asked if she had anything to disinfect it she stated no. So we then asked for perhaps hand sanitizer she once again said no. We tend to visit on every trip, but based off of (overlooking the fact that the conch fritters were overfried & under seasoned) the poor customer service of the management to such a minor situation is a reflection of the establishment. BUT I do have to say our waitress went above & beyond by mixing a remedy her mother makes to stop the itching & burning.
