There are plenty of covered picnic areas as well as pavilions and a gazebo that can be rented Next to the park is a new, 4 million dollar recreation center that offers camps and community events.

He was charged with first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated child abuse. There is a plaque honoring Christina in the park.

While driving through Hobe Sound I discovered this unusually named park. Hobe Sound's connection to…read morethe Greek myths goes back to the 1920's during Florida's land boom years. In 1924 the Olympia Improvement Corp. intended to develop Hobe Sound into a movie production town similar to Hollywood, CA. Investors were recruited and Greek named streets like Olympus, Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Adonis, Mercury, and Mars were constructed. The intention was that Hobe Sound would have its name changed to Olympia and there would be a section called Picture City for development of the movie industry. Before Olympia could really get off the ground, the hurricanes of 1926 and 1928 ushered in a period of economic downturn followed by the Great Depression. Funding dried up and by 1933, the Olympia holdings were sold to the Hobe Sound Co.'s stockholders. If you look closely, you can still see faint glimpses from the past in the part of Hobe Sound known as Old Hobe Sound, where Bridge Road meets the FEC tracks and Old Dixie Highway. The roads fan out from the location of the never built Olympia railroad station and 1920's cement streetlights run along Dixie Highway. Another reminder is Zeus Park which sits next to the old Olympia town hall which was the sales office of the Olympia developers. Today Zeus Park is a passive, circular shaped park in the middle of a neighborhood of charming cottages from the 1920's. The park has a large open area for play, picnic tables, a playground, and a butterfly garden in the northwest corner of the park. The butterfly garden was created in 1998 by the Hobe Sound Women's Club. The butterfly garden was rebuilt after the hurricanes of 2004 and it is maintained by the Hobe Sound Women's Club and Martin County Master Gardeners. The mature oak trees around the perimeter enhances the beauty of the park and provides welcome shade from the Florida sun. I enjoyed discovering the fascinating history of this charming park.

I have driven by this park many times, but I didn't realize it was separate from 'the parking lot…read moreof the Marinelife Center.' But, it is its own park, and it stretches from A1A Beach Road to US1! It contains: -a big parking lot that allows access to the beach across the street -a grassy area of pavilions and picnic tables -a pirate playground -the (elusive) entrance to the East side of the Juno Dunes Natural Area, which I wasn't sure actually existed. -a bathroom facility -its own nature trail This parking lot is a decent size with free parking. The pavilion of bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, especially if you are headed to the beach. The picnic tables are calling out for (kid birthday) party use, especially with the beach, playground and marinelife center all in walking distance. I came here specifically for the playground. It is shaped like a pirate ship. It has a sandy bottom. It has some swings also. It is not fenced, but it is set back from the parking lot decently and no where near the roads. I didn't get too involved with the pirate ship (because I perched at the closest bench) but my kids definitely loved it.

Great for kids plenty of pavilions to throw your own party. and always fun to watch the trains go byread more

This park was built by the Kiwanis Club of Stuart, which has been serving the children of Martin…read moreCounty since 1938. They are the second oldest club organization in Martin County. In 1990 the Kiwanis entered into an agreement with the City of Stuart who owned the property this park sits on. The Kiwanis and the local historical society, Stuart Heritage partnered together to raise funds for the park by selling historical Stuart themed Christmas ornaments. Every year the two groups work together to study the history of Stuart and design the ornament. The first ornament was sold in 1995. Stuart Heritage sells the bulk of the ornaments and in return they get to keep $5 per ornament for their organization while the Kiwanis use their portion of the proceeds for the park. Over a million dollars has gone into park renovations. The goal of the Kiwanis Club was to create a place where all children can play. Handicap accessible vehicles can pull right up to the entrance of the park. The park has specialized play equipment including a roller tunnel, accessible see saw, airplane bouncy, and roller slide. In addition to the playground equipment the park has benches, grills, pavilions, picnic tables, paved walkways, and a restroom. Everything in the park is beautifully maintained with lots of flowering bushes and trees to add color to the park. The park can be rented from the Kiwanis Club for parties and private events. For all of the efforts put in by the Kiwanis Club, this park has been named the premier park in Martin County. I love discovering parks that are made to include all children, especially those with sensory issues or physical disabilities. The children at this park looked like they were having a wonderful time. Martin County is beautiful and when you see a park like this you know they really care about their children.

Mary Brogan Park is named in honor of a Martin County educator and advocate for breast cancer…read moreawareness. Mary Brogan was the wife of Frank Brogan who served as Florida's lieutenant governor under Jeb Bush. Mary grew up in Cincinnati along with her childhood sweetheart who would later become her husband. In Florida Mary Brogan worked in Martin County as a third-grade teacher at Port Salerno Elementary School in Stuart and later as an assistant principal at two schools. After her husband was elected education commissioner, she went to work at Florida State University as an education consultant. Mary was diagnosed with cancer in 1997 and after undergoing treatment it went into remission. Sadly it came back a year later and she passed away at the age of 44 in 1999. Mary Brogan Park is a beautiful park with a lot of nature elements. Park amenities include a restroom with water fountain, basketball court, playground, and picnic pavilion with tables. The most popular feature of the park is the skatepark with ramps. This is one of three parks in Martin County with skateparks. My favorite part of the park was the exercise path in the rear of the park. There is a paved path and a natural earth trail. This is a great park for exercise, walking a dog, play, skate boarding, or a game of basketball.

I had to drag them away, and we've returned multiple times due to its popularity! This is still a fenced in playground, surrounded by shady trees (though mostly sunny above the playground itself), with benches for parents to sit on. Sometimes I sit at a concrete picnic table just outside of the fence to work. Sitting there, it was fairly easy to see my kids at all times (unlike the previous equipment). Still love the walk around the pond. Recently, we explored the little island in the middle across the walking bridge (which could use an upgrade itself). Kids were fishing off the bridge and from the platform on the island. The water doesn't always look healthy but there are a lot of ducks.

The playground is large and has a lot of climbing equipment, slides, and swings. This area of the park also has a covered pavilion with a picnic tables and a portable restroom. A few days ago a woman and her two daughters were shocked by the metal railing leading to the restroom. The city determined it was due to a leaky air conditioning unit on top of the restroom and they have fixed the issue. i would still caution against touching the railing just to be on the safe side. In the immediate area outside the playground there is even more for families to enjoy like a memorial meditation garden and aquatics center with pool, splash zone, and water slide. A brand new 30 million dollar community center is being built with a refurbished gym, wellness studio, cultural art space, art studios, rooms for STEM programs, new restrooms, and more. With the addition of the new community center this corner of Palm Beach Gardens is going to be an impressive gathering place for the community.

North County District Park is a 82-acre athletic and recreation complex. It is located on 117th Court North near the city's tennis center. The sprawling park includes seven lighted multi-purpose fields, two open fields, a splash pad, nature trail and walking areas, three pavilions, two playgrounds, gravity rail and 23.6 acres of preserve. it is the largest athletic complex in the area and has more than 600 parking spots. The pristine athletic fields make this park ideal for team sports but children will also love cooling off at the splash pad and playing at the ninja styled shade covered playground. My favorite part of the park was the nature trail. I just wish it had parking closer to the entrance. The field next to trail is under construction so I am excited to see what will be added to the park next.

You have pretty much everything you can think of in this park with a very large parking lot. If your kid loves baseball, there's always baseball games going on and there's also a playground for kids to enjoy. I haven't really explored the whole park on foot, only driven by since the skating area is all the way in the back. It's pretty new. I heard they just filled it in. I would say it's like the size of a normal skating area you would find at an indoor rink. I will come more often, but it is a 20 minute drive and they're doing a lot of construction on the roads that I take together. I wish there was more of these skating areas in different parts of Port St. Lucie.

Whispering Pines also has a 14 court tennis center which is shared by the Parks and Recreation Department and the High School. You can sign up for lessons at the tennis center and the courts service all levels of players, from beginners to professionals. The fields are lighted and the park is open every day from 8 AM to 10 PM. My favorite part of the park was watching the birds. While I was walking around two Sandhill cranes came by. I don't get to see them in South Florida so it is always a treat to find them when I travel north. These two characters were hollering at the top of their lungs. It was the first time I've ever heard the call of a Sandhill Crane. This is a really beautiful and well maintained park providing sports, leisure activities, picnics, and events for the community of Port St Lucie.
