Really frustrating experience at this dog park…read more Only two sections were open, which made it feel crowded right away. When I brought my dog into the large dog area, multiple dogs started bothering her, including one repeatedly trying to mount her. She was clearly uncomfortable and overwhelmed. The worst part was the owners--not paying attention and not stepping in at all. I was trying to leave, but the dogs crowded the exit and wouldn't back off. I had to physically push them away myself while my dog was getting stressed and pinned down. Dog parks only work when owners are responsible, and that was not the case here. Be careful bringing your dog here.

Not a lot of shady spots, but a good experience overall. Lots of friendly dogs (and people).

This place is an absolute gem in Palm Beach County -- a stunning 1.5-mile boardwalk winding through…read more100 acres of constructed wetlands, and every step of the way there is something to take in. Informational plaques are posted throughout, making it easy to learn about the native trees and bird species you encounter along the walk. The boardwalk is also stroller and wheelchair friendly, so it truly is a place for everyone! Come prepared: hat, sunscreen, and binoculars are a must, and don't forget your walking shoes. If you live nearby and love the outdoors, this is also the perfect spot to get your steps in while soaking up nature and staying active -- a workout that doesn't feel like one! My husband and I originally planned a quick visit and ended up staying for nearly three hours -- this place has a way of pulling you in. We chose to walk the boardwalk first and save the nature center for last, but if you're visiting from out of area or just want more context before you explore, I'd recommend flipping that order. The nature center is packed with information about the wetlands ecosystem, the wildlife that calls it home, and the fascinating history of the site itself -- none of which I knew before visiting. Grab a map before you head out! On our walk, we spotted an alligator gliding through the pond, turtles, and an impressive variety of bird species. The sounds were incredibly peaceful, and the stretches of shaded tree hammocks offered the perfect reprieve from the sun. We came across Gumbo Limbo trees, sabal palms, and strangler figs among other beautiful native species. It was truly a magical experience, and I cannot wait to come back!

In 2008 and 2009 the park received 1.5 million dollars of improvements, paid for in part by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Education. The land for the park was purchased from the Florida Inland Navigation District. This park has been named the Jaycee Park for about a half century even thought the last local Jaycees chapter closed in 1999. The front section of the park has the improvements made in 2008 which include two children's play areas, one for younger children and one for older, with slides, swings, and climbing structures, shaded by a large ficus tree. There are also two bocce ball courts, sheltered picnic tables, restroom and a walking path. Along the paved path is the Boynton Beach Maritime Heritage Trail which tells you about the history of Boynton Beach, the early settlers, sport fishing, the Boynton Beach inlet, and more. There also signs throughout the park about nurturing nature. The eastern edge of the park has a mangrove nature preserve. Mangroves are important to the environment because hey clean the water and they provide a protective nursery for sea life to spawn. In 2009 a 300 foot boardwalk was added to the park overlooking the Intracoastal for fishing and nature observation. Manatees have been spotted here. It also provides a front row seat for the annual holiday boat parade. To the north of the boardwalk is a small ramp where you can launch a canoe, kayak, or paddle board. I loved reading all of the signs in the park relating to history and nature. There were also several beautiful public art pieces to view as well. This park is a wonderful spot to take the kids to play, picnic, fish, and enjoy the beauty of nature. It is easy to see why this park is such a beloved destination in Boynton Beach.

I enjoy going to this dog beach- but quite a few negatives. 1. Not TOO big of an area for the dogs…read moreto play on (between 2 lifeguard stands) 2. Very restricted hours and days (Fri, Sat, Sun) of when you can be on the beach (and they WILL enforce those days/hours) 3. You have to pay for entrance (a HASSLE to go buy a weekend/monthly/yearly pass, AND expensive). This dog beach is veryyyyy Boca. Other than that, the water and sand are always clean, it's easy to find, parking is always available at close-by meters, and the dogs are usually friendly and obedient.

Boca dog beach!!!! I hate to have to give a 3 star review…read morebut WOW @ the price change to get into Spanish River Park aka Boca Dog Beach... $11.00 per dog & $20.00 to park! EH! I think that the ocean should be free but to each their own opinions. Better option is to find parallel parking IF you can. Anyways, pay $20 to park in the dedicated parking lot, pay your $11/dog for your dog passes, & then walk through the long tunnel into the beach, you can only go left once entered the beach with your dogs, must show your tickets/"dog pass" to whatever security guard that is at the beach entrance, should be a very quick ordeal and go about your business. Extremely packed beach, packed with a TON of dogs, very oddly enough, not everyone in the dog beach is "dog friendly" so keep an eye on your dog. Best deal is to come towards closing (for the sunset & the heat decrease) especially if you weren't planning on spending the entire day.

Took my small dog for some play time a few weeks ago on a Friday afternoon, the smaller dog park is…read morea good size, especially since she was the only there for awhile. The grounds are clean, there's a doggy water fountain and an adjacent park with skateboard access. The sitting area for the humans is in the shade and along the fence giving the dogs even more room. Once another dog arrived, they both played and ran to their hearts content while I spoke with the other owner. I was slightly concerned with the height of the fence but I'm sure now that it's a good height and safe for the dogs. All in all, I'd recommend this park. It's in a residential area across from a school. Lulu and I shall be returning soon!!
