Playgrounds

Countess de Hoernle Park (Spanish River Athletic Facility) is a city-owned park in Boca Raton, Florida. First opened in 2012 and located south of Spanish River Boulevard, the park came to life when the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District provided the city of Boca Raton with $13.9 million of taxpayers' money to improve upon 80 acres of unused land owned by the city. The land once belonged to the IBM Corporation.

Located next to the Serenoa Glade Preserve,  George Snow Park in eastern Boca Raton is an almost 6 acre city park. The park can be reached via Glades road just east of I-95.  It is the only access point to the Serenoa Glade Preserve and has plenty of parking.  George Snow Park has a shaded playground with swings and plenty of space to play all in a fenced in area.  Across from the playground is a well-kept tennis court.

Kids Kingdom is a great large playground in Boynton Beach that is between the Children's Schoolhouse Museum and the City Hall Complex. There is a smaller portion of the playground meant for smaller children and the much larger area is better suited to school age children. There are restrooms and a couple of picnic tables. The city also has a small outdoor amphitheater and field that around the holidays hosts different festivals (the large Christmas Tree is right there).

Veteran's Park in east Delray Beach is located adjacent to the Intracoastal drawbridge on Atlantic Avenue.  Parking is located to the north and to the west of the park.  Come to play at the large wooden playgrounds or sit waterside and watch the boats go by.  The drawbirdge is always a favorite with the kids.  A large pavillion sits on an open green area perfect for running and cavorting.  Events are held in the pavillion and on the grounds throughout the year.  The onsite Recreation Center can be rented and offers classes year round for all ages.

Knowles Park is located just north of Linton Blvd and east of northbound US 1 in Delray Beach.  This small park consists of a boat ramp, fishing area, playground, shaded green areas, restrooms and picnic tables.  Across the street is a convenient Walgreens for any last minute needs.  The playground is better suited for school age children then for smaller tots.  There is a large yellow spiral sculpture along US1 that helps identify the park location from the road.  Ample parking is provided.  

Delray Municipal Beach is located at the far eastern side of Atlantic Avenue where it intersects with A1A.

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.
