Manatees are returning to the area as well. As part of the clean up effort 11 acres of mangroves were planted and two oyster beds were created that that clean up the lagoon by filtering out the water. Four islands were made from fill taken from Peanut Island. Wildlife that has been spotted include the American oystercatcher, Common snook, green sea turtle, and West Indian manatee. There is a 545 foot long boardwalk and observation platform that provides a beautiful view of the lagoon. There is also a 590-foot long fishing pier. There is a small lot for launching your canoe or kayak. You can't park here even though it is close to the boardwalk and fishing pier. Parking is down the street at Bryant Park and you have to walk up past the golf course. I was told that if you attempt to park in the water craft launch area you will be ticketed or towed. Other amenities include two bicycle racks, educational kiosks and three benches. This natural area runs along the base of the bridge. This area is ecologically important as well as beautiful. I saw so many birds on one the man islands off the coast. Although you can see from the boardwalk and fishing pier I feel the best way to experience this area would be by kayak. I plan to rent one in the area as soon as the weather cools down a bit.

The park also has a small playground, restrooms, picnic tables, and a grill. The boat ramp is very popular and so mainly boaters use this park. The park is open every day from dawn to dusk. Knowles Park is a good place to view the annual Boynton & Delray Beach Holiday Boat Parade held annually in mid December. Decorated boats travel in the Intracoastal Waterways throughout Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach to the C-15 canal. What drew my eye to the park and caused me to stop was a large sculpture called Knowles Knot that sits along Federal Highway. The Public Art Advisory Board allowed the public to vote on the name. Knowles Knot was created by Brooklyn based artist John Clement. The bright red sculpture is made of 8 inch steel pipe. Looping spirals stand 44 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and 20 feet long. The sculpture was installed in the park in March of 2008.

The canal runs east to west and allows boaters to connect to the north and south running E-4 canal. From the C-16 canal you can also reach Lake Osborne to the north and Lake Ida to the south. The canal is managed by the South Florida Water Management District who is responsible for dredging it. The park has four trailer spots and a boat ramp to allow water craft access to the water. There is also a small pier for fisherman. In addition to an entrance to the canal, the park also has a basketball court, BBQ grills, benches, drinking fountain, open play area, pavilion, picnic tables, playground, restroom, tennis courts, and sand volleyball court. During my visit the picnic tables and bathroom were occupied by homeless people. Other than that the primary residents of the park were iguanas. The park is open every day from sunrise to sunset. The lighted sports facilities are open until 10:00 p.m.

Some different friends who also Disc Golf had said it was one of the best courses around so I finally felt the urge to make it up there. The open a little early which is nice too. Entering the park is impressive in itself. There are so mnay things going on from a large lake spanning waterpark, wildlife all over, a BMX park that's a good size, and of course, the disc course. The things some had said that was obvious immediately, is that the place had far more rolling hills than any park or place in South Florida. I started off at the top of a hill and had to through down to the bottom of the hill. There were shots later where I had to throw over a pond and up a hill. From the elevation changes to the great forest and water holes, it really was worth the drive. Heck, I've been back 2 more times this month already.

During the COVID lockdown, walking the trails became my favorite pastime. Especially as a pregnant woman looking for peace and fresh air, lol. Years later, those same trails are still a favorite activity for my son and me. More recently, I've taken up disc golf and was excited to find out the group I joined regularly plays at the Okeeheelee course. It's been such a fun and engaging experience! Just yesterday, I attended a picnic at one of the park's pavilions, and it was wonderful. The swings and playground next to the pavilion made it perfect for a family-friendly event. The space provided plenty of seating and shade, so everyone could enjoy themselves without being overwhelmed by the heat. There's still so much of this park I haven't explored yet, and I genuinely look forward to continuing to visit for years to come.

The boat ramp area is smooth and wide with an excellent easy include for easy launching and recovery. The parking lot is large and easy to navigate with trailers. There are automated kiosks for purchasing parking and other passes. The fishing pier is amazing and provides a terrific view of the Inlet.

Jewell Cove Natural Area is located across the street from the Lake Worth Municipal Park. It is…read morejust South of the Lake Ave. Bridge along Ocean Ave. on the east side of the Lake Worth Lagoon. This natural area is a maritime hammock which is a natural band of forest that grows on the stabilized back dunes of barrier islands. This natural area is 11.4 acres with 1,200 feet of shoreline on the Lake Worth Lagoon. In February 1967 this land was leased for 99 years to the Milton Steinhardt family. In 2012, Judge Raphael Steinhardt, grandson of Milton Steinhardt relinquished the lease so that the land could be donated to the City of Lake Worth to be enjoyed by the public. This parcel has now been turned into a nature preserve, nine acres of which are submerged so that mangroves and sea grasses can grow. A maritime hammock community makes up another 2 and 1/2 acres. In 2015 and 2016 volunteers removed exotic plants. Fifteen truckloads were removed along with concrete material that had been dumped to prevent erosion. Three thousands tons of limestone were then installed to create a breakwater that prevents erosion and creates a habitat for oysters which filter the water. Clean sand was added and sea grass and mangroves were planted. The mangroves also filter out pollutants and acts as a marine life nursery. The marsh grass breaks up wave energy and provides a wildlife habitat. The Jewell Cove Natural Area serves as a refuge to the animals of the Lake Worth lagoon. This includes osprey, tricolored heron. snowy egret, little blue heron, and white ibis. Plants found here include coralbean, cabbage palm, sea grape, strangler fig, sand cordgrass, green buttonwood, and mangroves. There is a hiking trail through the preserve and you can launch a kayak on the Lake Worth Lagoon but the main benefit of this preserve is to improve the health of the Lake Worth Lagoon ecosystem. In 2019, the commission voted to put on the ballot a 99-year lease on Jewel Cove's 11.4 acres submerged along the Intracoastal and to keep the land on the southeast side of the bridge a natural area. This ensures that the area stays a natural living shoreline, protected by Palm Beach County. The county will not be able to build on the land and it will be maintained as a sanctuary.
