Great skate park in Palm Beach County!
It has a workout area! This should be advertised on the County website. Kids were playing basketball 🏀 and using the playground. I restroom 🚻 and the water 💦 tasted dirty (from the fountain).
Great Park through well maintained. Not a lot of people go there so sometimes people bring aggressive dogs just make sure that they see you. A couple of times people walked in with aggressive dogs saw me and turned and walked out. They are usually very respectful and wait till you leave. Just tried to make sure you are seen
This is a solid neighborhood park. Very quiet. Baby and child swings together. 2 play areas, one for older kids, one for toddlers. Climbing wall. Well situated benches. Large older trees that provide shade. Lots of open play. On one side of the park is the basketball courts, a dog park, and a skate park. It would be great if the kids play area was fenced in but the area does not have a lot of cars at least.
July 23 update: they added another toddler playground, multiple picnic tables and grills and updated the water fountain to include refillable water bottles. Volleyball area has a net too. Exercise station added.
