Next to the entrance are four lighted basketball courts and a small playground structure with baby swings. Around the well marked park you will find 2 lighted baseball fields, 6 lighted multipurpose fields, 2 lighted softball fields and 1 lighted T-ball field. In the center of the park is the Family Aquatic Center where you will find a 50-meter, 8 x 20 lanes heated outdoor swimming pool. There's also a children wading pool, an interactive water playground and a 2 story water tower with 3 slides. There are showers and lockers. Swim classes for children are offered at the aquatic center. To the left of the main entrance are 6 lighted tennis courts and 4 lighted racquetball/handball courts. The park also has a larger playground and a picnic shelter with grills. Near the playground is the Armed Forces memorial. There are 5 flags representing the 5 branches of the armed forces and a monument marker with the names of fallen heroes. Contrary to the name there is no lake view and there are no nature trails which is what I look for in a park. However if you are into athletics this is a wonderful park and the pool is a very nice feature. You can picnic, exercise, and play. This is also a very safe place to teach a child to ride a bike.

On top of that, the dividing net in the middle of the field was off-center, shifted way to one side, and the ball kept getting stuck in it throughout the game. It completely disrupted the flow of play. Overall, the facilities are in serious need of maintenance. We didn't enjoy it and won't be coming back.

There's a one-mile exercise path with stations; a large picnic pavilion that groups can rent and a few smaller pavilion's too. For the younger kiddies, there's a playground with swings and two "structures" for different age groups.

She knows exactly how to keep it fun and interesting for the kiddies. They are very patient with the kids and create fun ways for them To learn the moves in soccer. Considering my son had just turned 2 I felt like he was a bit young for the league but nonetheless he still had fun. We met weekly for an hour each Saturday at 9am. Most of the lessons were based on moves that the kids would need to learn to play soccer. There are no games since they are too young to get the entire concept down. I plan on signing him up again next year but more likely I will put him in the winter league since it still was too hot out during sept and October.

Royal Palm Beach Soccer is a great place to learn and play. I have been involved with this program…read moresince it started. My kids have played here and now my grandkids play here. They absolutely care about their players. They try to put players in the best positions for both the team and the child. Some parents think their kids should only play one position and then they don't learn any other positions so therefore, the child thinks that as well. Parents should be teaching their children to be TEAM players and not individuals. Kids should be learning what it is like to be on a TEAM. If they don't want to play as a TEAM PLAYER then they should go play tennis, or ping pong or an individual sport, of which soccer is not. Royal Palm Beach teaches children how to play in a TEAM environment and how to get along with others. If you want to go elsewhere, feel free since the grass is allegedly greener on the other side. We love this program and great job to everyone who runs it from the board members to the coaches. See you on the fields.

We signed up for this league solely because they use pineapple Park for their games. Every single game, 4 I believe at this point I've been relocated out to Palm city. In the beginning, their website said games and practices were at 6:30. Their coach was told games and practices started at six so he showed up to the field at six. Nobody was there then he said the president told him it started at 6:15 however, parents were told it started at 6:30. It is clear communication is extremely unorganized even from within. Their uniforms were not distributed until the end of the second game. I have never had that happen with any other league. We have been part of other sorting leagues and we will not be returning as I have heard this is an issue across the board for all parents and has been for years. It is a shame.

But now that we have experienced other soccer clubs, I have realized how purposeful Martin United is in mistreating/disregarding parents. We moved our boys at the end of the 2019 season to another soccer club just to give them a different experience. (Geeat decision by the way!) There was no hard feelings on our part, just wanted to explore with our kids just as any parent would do. I had no idea that the president of the club, Rich Cerber, would harbor ill feelings toward us for moving, as it is petty and unprofessional coming from a leader in the organization. I inquired for my youngest son to join rec in 2020, and Rich said it was too late. That seemed suspicious to me since he had let me register my older boys late before. But I thought, ok maybe next year. Now in 2021, I emailed and he replied saying that i should just have my son join the other soccer club with my older boys as it would be "easier for everyone". WOW, so taken aback by his lack of professionalism and maturity. I like to give people benefit of the doubt, but this man is childish and proven so even after all these years. It makes me wonder how he can continue to still hold this position and wonder how mistreated his staff/coaches are. Not a good human is all I have to say, but in the end, you will always get yours.
