  • In town and off the beaten path. Plenty of endangered plants and critters than co-habit this half acre site. Nice paved walkways. Great place to relax and walk.

  • This is a small wilderness park in the middle of a busy area. We ended up walking 2 miles by walking all of the marked trails and also along the border of the park. It’s easy to make your walk as short as you want or a great 2 mile walk. It’s a Natural area so it’s not for dogs or ebikes. It’s an opportunity to walk through oldtime south Florida and get back to nature for a little while. The parking lot is small but there were two spaces available on a Wednesday in December. Most people are here for a short amount of time so if you don’t find parking, just wait for someone to leave.
  • Saw wildlife almost instantly upon entering and thankfully most of the trails are shady. I love that there’s still government funded nature preserves in Boynton Beach, FL that have a strong LNT policy (leave no trace) where you can really feel one with nature & protect the ecosystem. This does mean they have pretty restrictive rules so I don’t recommend it for social gatherings or parties, especially since they don’t have picnic tables, pavilions or even public facilities like restrooms, so do your business ahead of time lol! They do have public parking but the downside is that the parks and recreation employees Aren’t always on time to unlock the parking lot so you have to park on the swale (side of road in grass between sidewalk & street) next to the nature area until they show up, ironically in front of the large residential community currently a construction site. I waited about 45 minutes. I got there when they were open according to their hours posted but waited move my car just under an hr. B4 ranger showed up & unlocked fence. You can still enter the park by foot but I’d either on the side of caution you hate to get your car towed or ticketed.
