One of my husband's grandsons is named Parker so we were curious and took the road north instead of heading to US1. The park is right north/next to the Riker Athletic Campus -- part of the Palm Beach Atlantic College (not FAU). And I don't think most of the families using this park even question how it was named or care. You can google or go to Wikipedia for this information. When we stopped by everything was so vibrantly green -- including a large grassy "sports" area where two guys were practicing their soccer kicks. The park has many amenities -- both a bike and walking path (paved), a children's playground, toilet facilities and a water fountain. The most appealing area to me was the splash pad. There were some interesting trees with a bit of shade. I especially liked that there were picnic tables and benches throughout so parents could watch their kids. The park is open sunrise to sunset. Glad we stopped to check it out.

We saw a couple of families enjoying the water works set up in one part where the children were enjoying the water and parents watching comfortably from their benches.

It's easily accessible and there is a large parking lot. The first thing you see when entering the park are these majestic trees. These huge, tall banyan ficus are grouped together in a grove. Their extending roots and extra trunks appear to be a throw back to another era. Based on the age of the park, itself, we know they are at least 70 something years old. In one of my photos. I stood at the base of one tree so you can get a perspective of how tall these trees are. These trees alone are a reason to visit. Of course, if you are sports minded, there are courts for basketball, soccer, tennis, and pickleball. There's a separate skate boarding park newly revised this year. Plus a playground, exercise/walking trail, pavilions, and picnic areas. And the separate baseball section (see other Yelp listing). In between all the wonderful sports court areas are lovely green swaths of grass. Overall, this is a beautiful park packed with possibilities. I'm so glad I found it and visited here.

.South Palm Park is Lake Worth's oldest incorporated Neighborhood Association in the City of Lake…read moreWorth. It was established in 1963 to preserve this historic neighborhood located on he intracoastal from overdevelopment. The South Palm Park neighborhood is comprised of around 200 homes of various price points that run in a narrow north-south strip between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway. The homes date back to the 1920's when the earliest pioneers moved into the area to be closer to the city. Growth continued in the neighborhood in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. The South Palm Park neighborhood is named for this passive park located at the east end of 11th Ave South. The park has open areas for play, a beach to launch non motorized watercraft onto the intracoastal, a playground, picnic tables, and grill. The views of the water are stunning. This is a true neighborhood park without any outside parking. You can try to park on the side of the road but you can tell from the people walking in that this park is only used by the South Palm neighborhood.

Inexpensive metered parking is available on the side streets and there is a parking garage. Flagler Banyan Square has public art, benches, landscaping, open space, and a view of the Lake Worth Lagoon across the street. People who work in the nearby businesses were using the park for their breaks. As a sat on a bench delicious smells wafted down from the nearby Elisabetta's Ristorante. Around me were a number of common starlings, one of North America's most common birds. This park is a peaceful place to sit, relax, and take in the waterfront.

A few veterans educating the public and many motorcycles. I enjoyed the good live music playing. The fire trucks, a helicopter, and big army vehicles were also here on display. It was a nice, family, and dog-friendly event. I enjoyed my time. The event was well organized. They had staff guiding parking inside. it was a one hot day. It was nice this park had big trees to shade the event.

During his tenor in politics he served on many boards and won several awards. This 16.75 acre park was dedicated to Mayor Ferreri in 1990. Park amenities include 4 racquetball courts, 2 tennis courts, a playground, a large multi purpose field, 2 gazebos, 1 pavilion, picnic areas with grills, restrooms, an exercise path with stations, and a little free library. An interesting thing I noticed was that this park had sensory boards set up. Some people with special needs, like those with autism need sensory input. I have only seen these one other time, at a park in Miramar. This community park is the site of the Green Acres Green Market and Bazaar. The market is open on Sundays from 9 to 11 AM and it runs from October 11 through April 25th. The market sells produce, plants, and baked goods among it's items. If you are in the area it might be nice to stop by. I loved how this park is on the water and I enjoyed watching the many birds that were attracted to the area. Not so nice were the homeless people who took over the gazebo and pavilions but they didn't approach anyone. It is just not inviting to sit down when people are openly staring at you. Still this is a nice park that brings the community together for recreation and special events.

The highlight of Oaks Park is the clay walking trail that winds throughout the park. Tall trees provide welcome shade, and the small canal alongside the back portion of the path is lovely. The park also features a butterfly garden, a large picnic pavilion with tables, two tennis courts, and plenty of grassy open space perfect for picnics or play. Along the walking path are poignant tributes. Every few feet, there are memorial trees lining the trail. I took a moment to read some of the memorial plaques. They reminded me that even after we leave this earth, our love for those left behind lives on.

The park is very pretty and has many containers for recycling and trash. There is no water source for people but there is a nice pavilion for shade.

I found out online that in 2017 they completed a 2.7 million dollar renovation of Bradley Park. This is one of my favorite kind of parks. It runs at the base of a bridge giving you a fantastic view of the waterway. After visiting the park all I can say is wow! It combines two things I am passionate about, art and history. The 4.4 acre park was the former home of Colonel Bradley as well as the location of his beach club. The Gilded Age buildings were destroyed as were many others during the 1970's. It was why the Preservation Foundation was created, to preserve the historic architecture of the Palm Beaches. All that remains is the Artemis fountain featuring cherubs and the four faces of father time and the historic tea house. Park improvements that were made during refurbishment project include a quarter mile long shell walkway, the restoration of the tea house, and a terrace for the Artemis fountain. Inside the tea house are five informative panels that give the history of Palm Beach. The history begins with the prehistoric legacy of the Native Americans. It then moves to the Palm Beach pioneers, Henry Morrison Flagler, Colonel Bradley, and ends with the Bradley Park Beautification project. The park pathway continues to Lake Trail that was extended to run along the sea wall. Beautiful plants and trees make up the rest of the park. This park had the nicest public bathroom I have ever seen. It was designed to match the tea house. I love how the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach chose to honor their historical legacy in this park. It is beautiful like all of the parks and gardens they manage. It was worth taking the time to take in the beauty of the park while learning about the history in the area.
