Barton Memorial Park
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.
Betty Thomas Park
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.
