    Timers Power Park is a spacious 37 acre park located in Indiantown. Historically the Jupiter…read moreIndiantown Road which existed from the 1900's until the late 1950's ran through the park. The 16 mile Jupiter Indiantown Road connected the communities of Jupiter and Indiantown, giving residents access to resources. The road took two days to travel by oxcart. During that time brothers Joe and Dessie Bowers developed citrus groves and ran a trading post exchanging goods for hides with the Seminoles. Later the road was known as the Jupiter Grade Road, the Jupiter Okeechobee Road and the Central Dixie Highway. In 1936 it became State Road 29. By the late 1950's nearby paved highways replaced the historic dirt road. In 1993 the road was declared a Scenic By-Way by Martin and Palm Beach Counties. Later this park was named in honor of Eugene "Timer" Powers (1937-1992). Mr. Powers was a significant figure in Indiantown known for his roles in establishing the Indiantown Gas Company in 1960, serving on the board of the South Florida Water Management District, and acting as a Martin County commissioner for twelve years, where he also helped shape water and Everglades policies. He was only 55 when he passed away from cancer. Upon his passing he was eulogized by then Governor Lawton Chiles who said "I recall a Bible verse that tells us, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' We will miss Timer as a person and as a peacemaker. He was one of the finest people you could know, and his belief that people can work together to solve problems will be sorely missed. The Florida Everglades, too, has lost a friend." What makes this park really unique is that it has a state-of-the-art, covered equestrian arena that is the only public equestrian arena in Martin County. It is available to the public for general usage and for organized horse shows. Timer Powers Park is the location of the annual Indiantown Rodeo which is one of the nation's most prominent rodeos dating back to 1947. The park also has many other amenities like a public boat ramp and fishing pier on the St. Lucie Canal. There is an amphitheater, numerous pavilions with tables and grills, and a playground. Large oak trees provide shade throughout the park. Timers Power Park is part of the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail. This park is ideal for a family celebration, play, fishing, or just a peaceful stroll like the one I enjoyed.

They also have a fishing area, cleaning station and a boat ramp which is free and open from dawn to dusk. A Really nice parking area and a playground for the kiddies! They also have a nice arena for rodeo events that take place around October of each year. Also picnic areas with charcoal grills with gazebo's for shade! The park is supplied with city water and restroom facilities. The fireworks display was truly an awesome experience last night and the Village did a spectacular job!

    People who visit Lake Okeechobee for the first time might be surprised to find that you can't…read morereally see it from the road. The Hurricane of 1928 caused the lake's dike to fail, resulting in catastrophic flooding and the loss of life. There are several mass burial sites of hurricane victims in the area. To protect the people who live around the lake, in the 1930's the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began constructing the Herbert Hoover Dike to prevent future flooding disasters. The dike was completed in the 1960s and serves to protect the surrounding communities from lake overflow. Consequently you need to find access roads that take you up to the lake in order to see it. One such favorite scenic spot to see the largest fresh water lake in Florida is in Lake Okeechobee Park. Through the years this park has been known as Jaycee Park, Lock 7, Lakefront Park, and Parrott Avenue Wayside. The park has been officially renamed Clif J. Betts Jr. Lakeside Recreation Area for a county commissioner who helped guide planning for county parks before his death in 2011. The highlight of this park is a 400 foot fishing pier which I enjoyed for the views of the lake and the birds but which is loved by anglers who fish for large mouth bass and speckled perch. Other park amenities include paved parking, picnic tables, and restrooms with potable water. Hikers and cyclists can access to the Florida Trail/Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail on the dike up above the recreation area. To reach it use the entrance road or the paved path behind the restrooms. If you head east you can travel three miles to Taylor Creek and if you head west you can travel four miles to Okee-Tantie.

    This is a great place for a walk. It was upsetting to see all the power plants omitting toxins and…read morepoisoning the people of Okeechobee in the background.

    My husband and I stayed for two nights at the FAMILY Campground in the DuPuis Management Area in…read morelate March, 2025, and LOVED it. This is a free primitive campground (no hookups) managed by the South Florida Water Management District. While free, it does require a Special Use Application and License (which is also free). The Special Use License secures 1 of the 14 licenses available per day, and also gives you access to the gate code for entry; the camp host did check that we had one. The campground is far from traffic noise, and each site is large and picturesque. The family campground is for tent and pop-up camping only. No trailers, camper vans, truck campers, or RVs are permitted for camping. A maximum of two vehicles are allowed per campsite. While we have a Class B RV, we followed the rules and set up our tent for overnight camping. Each site offers a picnic table and fire ring. The Family Campground has clean composting toilets. A full-service bath house with hot showers and flushing toilets are available for use in the Equestrian Campground. The DuPuis Management area offers camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, bicycling, geocaching, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and hunting during specific seasons. We had only one issue -- and that was that our GPS took us to the wrong, locked entry gate but we figured it out.

You could drive for 30 minutes and still not see everything! We stopped by on a weekday and the park was pretty and relaxing. Not too many people on the couple of trails we did. The observation tower is closed but they still have a nice boardwalk up to that area that makes for a great walk! It's pretty highly elevated for Florida - kind of impressive in person! Entry is $6 per car, and the lady provided a map and recommended her favorite trail. We checked that trail out as well (the white trail), but the height of the observation tower trail was really the star! We decided to drive around after doing both trails, and we saw their campgrounds. So surprising at how busy this place was! It seemed there was hardly an empty spot! Must be a happening place to camp! We'd definitely return for more adventures, as this is a cool park!

Jim Space has a rocket-NASA theme, this is so Okeechobee it's not funny. The Mud-buggy playground, the boat, it's all right on par for the creativity of L&A and the uniqueness of Okeechobee. A well-deserved civic asset!

    The playground at the Okeechobee Sports Complex is a well-hidden GEM, I tell you. I'm guessing all…read morethe locals know about it, but I did a couple of pretty thorough (or so I thought, anyway) internet searches and never came up with anything even remotely resembling a playground anywhere near here. Luckily, we have the awesome breakfast lady at Hampton Inn to tell us about such things. And even draw us a MAP. Score! :D I felt like I was privy to some insider info that I was most definitely Not Supposed to Have, which only makes it that much more cool. So this place is probably the most awesome true playground I've ever seen. Not like I'm a huge playground aficionado or anything, but still. It's this ENORMOUS collection of wooden fort-like structures with all kinds of slides and swings, tons of stuff to climb on and explore and have an absolute blast. The entire thing looks to be relatively new, and they definitely are keeping up with stuff like mulch on the ground and maintenance on the structures themselves (I saw a couple of pieces of newer wood, in comparison to the older more weathered stuff that the rest of it is built out of). There's a little area of sand, which kids looooooove and moms hate. Ugh, sand on my floorboards. And in his shoes. And his socks. And then the floor inside when he takes off the shoes. *laughing* There are also a couple of park benches along a little path for the moms to hang out, and a pretty large pavilion right there next to the play area with a whole bunch of tables, a water fountain, a Coke machine, and I'm guessing restrooms somewhere as well (Speculation! Pure speculation!). The good news / bad news is that this thing is huge and sprawling. Good news for the kids: bigger = better, and spread out = more room for running like wild beasts! But somewhat bad news for the moms: there's absolutely no way you can actually keep your child within eyesight without moving around, and moving around a LOT. The structures themselves prevent you from being able to see much more than little bits of blonde hair go running by, a glimpse of legs and shoes elsewhere... you get the idea. And that's fine, really -- I am perfectly okay with not being able to see my kid at Every Possible Second and don't feel the need to Helicopter parent him. But. BUT! The place isn't enclosed on all sides, and there's not a single stationary vantage point where you can ensure that your child hasn't wandered out of the area completely. I'm pretty laid-back about a lot of stuff, but I'm totally not okay with the idea that my kid could walk off (or be taken off, yikes!) while I idly sit in the shade sipping on a frosty beverage. Not a big deal with older kids, but at his age? Yeah. I still need to watch him like a hawk. Anyway, allllll of that was to say - moms, watch your little ones because they can slip right out the back side and you would never know it. And take note playground people, you could totally make this SO MUCH MORE SAFE by extending the fence line a little further around the back side so the only way in and out can actually be seen from one place, be it a bench or the pavilion or even hanging out on the sidewalk somewhere. I don't need creature comforts, I just need to be able to make sure my kid hasn't escaped. A few other things that keep it from being a whopping 5 stars as well. No shade for the kiddos, like every single playground ever in the history of mankind. I dutifully greased up the boy with sunscreen before heading out and of course he still ended up with a slight burn. And nothing that can really be changed on the part of the playground folks, but something for potential playground-goers to be aware of: at 215ish, there was a massive influx of teenagers that walked over after school and completely took over the pavilion. They weren't hanging out in the play area while we were there, but rumor has it that they're always there in the afternoons, and that they do sometimes decide it's fun to play on the equipment. Not sure if they get rough and rowdy or not (they were perfectly well-behaved in the few minutes we were all there together), but something to keep in mind if the "big kids" make you antsy. Because I'm lame and the only picture I took is crap cell phone quality and is only a portion of the entire play area, you can check out some pics at the page I pulled off the county website (and see some of the other little hidden playground areas too, those scheming playground-hiding punks!!), just scroll on down to the sports complex. And be warned, their photos don't do it any justice either: http://co.okeechobee.fl.us/sites/default/files/files/PRBallFieldsParksPlaygrounds030211.pdf All told? SUPER COOL playground. 5 starts from a kid's point of view, only 4+ stars from mom due to lack of shade and effective kid-containment.
