    The only reason we stopped here was that there were geocaches here. We immediately recognized that…read morethis must have been a landfill especially since we saw the current one across the highway. They did an awesome job converting this into a park. This should be required of all landfills. Actual hills in Florida - what a rare sight. We understand they have their own olympic cauldron (the flame they use to burn off the methane produced from the landfill). Lots of different sporting uses in this park - biking, walking, soccer, softball, fishing, "mountain biking", etc. Congratulations to whoever made this possible.

    For 20 years (1968-1989) trucks hauled trash to the the 445 acre Dyer Boulevard Landfill site until…read moreit finally closed. In April of 1995 the old landfill was turned into a park. The waste authority paid the $5 million to build the park per an agreement they made. They needed to purchase some parcels of land the county did not own from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The foundation required that once the landfill closed it had to be turned into a park. The waste authority wanted to make the park a showcase of recycling and they used compost, mulch and plastic lumber and other recycled materials wherever possible. A restroom, two baseball diamonds, four soccer fields, a picnic area, lakes for boating and fishing, hiking trails, equestrian trials, and walking paths and a mountain bike challenge course were added to what was once a large modern garbage dump. Most of the park is spread out in between the four garbage hills. All four landfills hills were covered with a plastic liner and topped with two feet of soil and grass. You can see this park from the turnpike. I have often passed it and was intrigued because you never see hills in Florida. Across the street is the landfill that is currently being used. With nothing but time I finally stopped to see what was here. I took the trail from the parking lot to the top of the hill and it ended up being a mile. This was a fun and unique way to work out because it is difficult to find an incline unless you use a gym machine. From the top of the hill you could see people playing on the sports fields down below. All along the trail people were exercising at a safe distance apart. Even so the City of Palm Beach has now closed the park.
