Burt Aaronson South County Regional is a huge park in northwest Boca Raton maintained by Palm Beach County.   Remember to pay attention driving amongst the attractions because it is easy to get turned around in this massive park. Burt Aaronson Park includes almost 900 acres of recreation.  South County Regional Park is definitely the gem of Palm Beach County's park system and one of the most comprehensive leisure destinations in the State!

This scrub area is just south of the Bethesda Hospital and the Seacrest/Woolbright intersection in Boynton Beach. It spans the area between Seacrest and Dixie across from St. Joseph's private school. This Palm Beach County controlled area has NO restrooms but ample parking.  Be sure to bring plenty of drinking water as there are no water fountains at this site.  Bike racks are available.  The train tracks are nearby and occaisionally a passing train can be heard in the background.

Developed by the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District and operated by the City of Boca Raton, this 132-acre park continues its commitment to enhance the role of recreation and culture for residents and visitors alike. This park has a splash area inside of it's ENORMOUS wooden playground. You can literally get lost in all the nooks and crannies so please keep a close eye on the children. There are outdoor bathrooms close to the playground and carousel in the large pavilion.

Jaycee Park in east Boynton Beach is located right on the Intracoastal waterway. The playground is completely FENCED (has gates so no escapes) with an area for crawlers as well as bigger kids to play. Swings and climbing structure are in the center of the play area. The paved sidewalk around the large field is ideal for bringing out the tricycle. Brand new boardwalk overlook onto the intracoastal and picnic pavilions are features of this park.
