It is a small…read moreneighborhood park tucked near the northeast corner of the West Palm Beach Golf Course, just east of Forest Hill High School and the West Palm Beach Country Club. It's named after Mary Brandon, a local politician who served on the city's Parks and Recreation Commission in the 1960s. Established in 1999, this park holds the distinction of being the first dog park in the City of West Palm Beach. It features two separate fenced areas--one for small dogs (25 pounds and under) and another for larger dogs. Amenities include dog-friendly water fountains, play tunnels, as well as plenty of chairs, benches, and tables for owners to relax. In July 2019, the city unveiled a brand-new playground, replacing older equipment with updated, shade-covered slides and climbing structures. In addition to the dog park and playground, the park also offers picnic pavilions, a baseball field, restrooms, and a large open green space that's perfect for running around or getting some exercise. I really appreciate how the city created a space that caters to both kids and dogs. It's a welcoming, versatile park that serves the neighborhood well--perfect for a casual afternoon outdoors. I'd definitely come back, especially if I brought my dog or just wanted a quiet place to unwind outside for a while.

There is a nice playground area with a structure, benches, a softball field, a basketball court, a walking path, and open grass to run around in. For the pet owner, there are two dog "parks"/dog run areas for differing size dogs that are fenced in. When we stopped by, there was only one other car parked in the lot. It was lovely weather so I was surprised that more people were not taking advantage of the first sunny day in a while. There are some large old trees providing shade, too. We'd be here often if we lived in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

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.

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.
