City of Delray Beach Tennis Center

Body

It is the mission of the Delray Tennis Club, in connection with the Delray Beach Tennis Center, to become recognized as one of the best public tennis facilities in South Florida while serving the needs of the citizens and entire community through well planned tennis programs and a wide variety of well managed amateur and professional tennis tournaments. The site features a pavilion and meeting room for small groups, pro shop with locker rooms, racquet stringing and merchandise, as well as a practice wall.

Delray Swim and Tennis Club Pool

Body

The Delray Swim & Tennis Club features 24 clay courts and a clubhouse that opened in the summer of 2006, that has a pro shop with merchandise and locker rooms. This complex is located south of Linton and just east of I-95. Make sure you use a map because there are a few twists and turns through a residential area to get to the tennis courts and pool. Fortunately, the city has posted a couple of signs along the way in. Pay attention going in because there are no signs leading you back out. Nice quiet area with ample parking, restrooms and nice tennis courts.

Family Recreation Fitness Center

Body

This odd BRAND NEW park is a sign of our economic times. The City of Delray Beach purchased the property and started clearing it during the "boom" times. Now that the money has run out, the only thing on property is the handicap accessible SHADED playground equipment. The grand plan involves building a large recreation center to serve western Delray residents but construction is on hold indefinitely. So, you have a children's playground right next to the pre-existing Senior Center. Incongruous but a new playground none-the-less.

Atlantic Dunes Park

Body

Atlantic Dunes Park in Delray Beach is one of just a few public shorelines in town. Located well enough south of the busy Atlantic Avenue area of town, Atlantic Dunes tends to be a much quieter spot for sunbathing and enjoying the surf.  Parking for the beach is located on the west side of A1A and is metered. Across the street, a boardwalk takes you up past showers and restrooms to picnic areas and a pavilion.  The beach is guarded and also has "surf chairs" available for handicapped patrons who need access to the beach.

505 Teen Center

Body

The 505 Teen Center and Hobbit Skate Park in Delray Beach was originally built in the 1950s to house the Women's Club (which still meets at the facility). It is now a wonderful place for Teens and Tweens to get together and have fun. Aside from the fun skate park, there is a recreation center that has foosball, table tennis, billiards, a recording studio, and much more.

Del Ida Park

Body

This community park is located in the historic Del Ida neighborhood in Delray Beach. Take a rest under the large shade tree or stroll around the nicely landscaped grounds. Park is best accessed on foot or by bike as there is no parking available. This would be a great pit stop while touring around by bike thru this beautiful historic neighborhood. Located on the same location is Lake Ida's "Cool Spot' which consists of a labyrinth, art, native landscaping and is lighted.

Pine Grove Park

Body
