South Palm Beach

This is a wonderful ceanfront park with showers, restrooms and a newly renovated playground (it's pretty awesome now...especially compared to the monstrosity that was there before). The beach is pretty well-maintained by the city and a non-profit volunteer organization also frequently does a clean up here (Sandsifters). There's a nice shaded bench area near the parking lot that overlooks the shore. Very pleasant. Only drawback is that you get charged to park there.

Mangrove Park is located to the east of to St. Mark's Catholic Church and school (off Federal Highway north of Boynton Beach Blvd) in a mangrove hammock area adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. The park is connected by at least three tidal inlets along the western border. It is a great place to see a variety of animals, including birds, raccoons and manatees. In 1997, the aluminum boardwalk, six interpretative panels, lighted restrooms, lighted parking lot, gates and landscaping were installed.

This park is just south of the city of Boynton Beach's Intracoastal Park right off Federal Highway. It was recently renamed and was known as the Boat Club Park.  Oyer Park is open to boaters and fishermen 24 hours per day.  Parking Fees: A trailer/launching fee is required on weekends and city designated holidays is $10 each day, regardless of residency.

This is a small park with picnic tables, playground and an open play area. It is located off Ocean Blvd just west of I-95 at SW 1st Ave in Boynton Beach. Open sunrise to sunset.  Hibiscus Park was built in 1973 with land donated to the city by the developer of the Lake Boynton Estates neighborhood.  The playground was renovated with new equipment in 2006. 

The park is home of the 2003 Little League National Champions, the East Boynton Beach Little League. In 2006, producers of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition heard about the park through applications to the show from people in the community. This was three months after damage occurred due to Hurricane Wilma in October 2005. It was the community spirit ABC saw in an audition that weighed heavily in the City's favor, producers said. The Boynton project, part of the show's After the Storm series on hurricane-damaged communities aired in the Spring of 2006.

Not many parks you visit used to be a graveyard! Barton Memorial Park in Boynton Beach still has some old graves (most were relocated to another local cemetary in order to make this a park). Why move graves? I-95.  In order to make room for the highway they needed to clear the cemetary.  The land was leased from the Florida Department of Transportation by the City starting in 1978. The park consists of 6.4 acres.   There is a nature trail and open play area for recreation on site.

This is designated by the city of Boynton Beach as a  "neighborhood" park.  The park is situated in a residential neighborhood and has limited parking.  The best way to find it is to take Seacrest Blvd south of Woolbright to SE 28th Ave. Go east on 28th it forks into 28th Ct and 28th Ave. Doesn't matter which one you take, just keep going east to SE 2nd and then turn left (north) on 2nd and you'll see it on your right. This is a relatively new park that was dedicated in 2007. The park is open from sunrise to 9pm.

Pioneer Canal Park is TRULY a neighborhood park. Take Boynton Beach Blvd just west of I-95 and at "Wendy's" turn right up NW 7th Street. When 7th is about to end, turn left (west) onto 13th and the park is right there. It runs along a canal and has a great playground. Located on the C-16 canal that runs east to west, the park provides boaters fresh water access to the E-4 canal that runs north to south and access to Lake Osborne to the north and Lake Ida to the south.

Pence Park in Boynton Beach was named after a developer who was the former owner of the land.  Pence park is a neighborhood park popular with the locals for basketball.
