Castle like structures, obstacle course, swings and slides. I also love there's only one entrance to the playground, this is a huge plus since I'm usually with at least 3 kids (but 5-7 when we come here). There are shaded areas, water stations and restrooms. They also have pavilions you can use for free during the week or rent on the weekends for birthday parties.

Some different friends who also Disc Golf had said it was one of the best courses around so I finally felt the urge to make it up there. The open a little early which is nice too. Entering the park is impressive in itself. There are so mnay things going on from a large lake spanning waterpark, wildlife all over, a BMX park that's a good size, and of course, the disc course. The things some had said that was obvious immediately, is that the place had far more rolling hills than any park or place in South Florida. I started off at the top of a hill and had to through down to the bottom of the hill. There were shots later where I had to throw over a pond and up a hill. From the elevation changes to the great forest and water holes, it really was worth the drive. Heck, I've been back 2 more times this month already.

Hands down one of my favorite parks in the community! Okeeheelee Park has so much to offer, and…read moreI've been coming here for years. During the COVID lockdown, walking the trails became my favorite pastime. Especially as a pregnant woman looking for peace and fresh air, lol. Years later, those same trails are still a favorite activity for my son and me. More recently, I've taken up disc golf and was excited to find out the group I joined regularly plays at the Okeeheelee course. It's been such a fun and engaging experience! Just yesterday, I attended a picnic at one of the park's pavilions, and it was wonderful. The swings and playground next to the pavilion made it perfect for a family-friendly event. The space provided plenty of seating and shade, so everyone could enjoy themselves without being overwhelmed by the heat. There's still so much of this park I haven't explored yet, and I genuinely look forward to continuing to visit for years to come.

This full acre playground is located in the Wellington Town Center Promenade. This area includes…read morethe Wellington Community Center, Wellington Amphitheater, and the Patriot Memorial. The last time I was here the playground was closed after being shut down July 2022 for construction activity related to the Town Center Phase 2 project. It resumed regular operating hours in May of 2023. When I visited the recent Lakeside Market I was delighted to find it filled with happy children playing on the unique and inclusive equipment. Scott's Place Barrier-Free Playground was built in 2010 with a donation made by Wellington residents Del and Barbara Williamson in honor of their son Scott Scott had cerebral palsy and sadly passed away at age of six. The playground is barrier free meaning it was designed to meet the needs of both able-bodied and disabled children. There aren't many playgrounds created to be barrier free so this is a very special play space for all of the children of Wellington to enjoy. As part of this project, Wellington held a community build weekend event where more than 300 volunteers assembled all of Scott's Place playground equipment. This fenced in playground is themed to Wellington's horse culture with a large horse statue, play wagon, and a horse spring rider. There are the traditional climbing equipment and swings that you expect to find at any playground but also special equipment like sensory items, a communication board where non verbal children can point at pictures to let people know their needs, and wheelchair ramps. There is also a reading corner, covered pavilion, benches, and restrooms. Parents can appreciate the safety aspects of this play space while the kids can enjoy creative play that encourages imagination and physical movement. Kudos to Wellington for creating this safe, clean, and inclusive environment for children to play and explore.

Scott's Place Park is a fantastic playground for children of all abilities. One of its standout…read morefeatures is a communication board, which allows kids to express how they're feeling using simple symbols. This is especially helpful for children with communication challenges, promoting inclusion and self-expression. Love that! The park is well-designed with accessible pathways, sensory play areas, and safe equipment suitable for various ages. My kids love it here. We periodically come after school so they can get some of the energy out before going home. Those who know, know! There are also shaded spots for parents to relax and watch their kids play. Overall, Scott's Place is a welcoming, thoughtful space that encourages social interaction and supports children's emotional well-being through play.

They must take a dirt road which often contains a sign warning auto not to take it - why? Because the city of Wellington refuses to pave roads- therefore the best access is from the bumper-to-bumper traffic of southern Boulevard ie highway 98. This means that even if you live a mile or two from the preserve, it can take 15 to 20 minutes or more to reach to preserve because the city of Wellington does not permit access from Wellington itself.

The park is still quite natural with no real paving and includes an equestrian trail, two reservable picnic pavilions, a playground and a softball field.

There is a lot of farm land and many people own horses. The park is a generous 30.12 acres located directly on Southern Boulevard. Park amenities include equestrian trails, a 10 station, 1.47 mile exercise course, open green space, picnic tables with grills, picnic pavilions which can be rented, a playground, bathrooms, and a ball field. I like how this park has a lot of trees. They provide shade for my favorite part of the park, the fitness trail. On the day I visited people were running their dogs, picnicking, and playing softball. You feel like you are out in the country but less than a mile away is all of the strip malls selling everything you need. Really close to the park is a brand new Aldi's where you can purchase all your picnic items. This is a great place to enjoy fresh air and nature.

He found a place for the pole in 2006 and from there the idea of creating a park began to evolve. Boughner is a Wellington Rotary Club member. He envisioned the park as a place people could come to contemplate world peace and understanding other cultures. The peace pole Boughner had created is 8 sides made of aluminum. The words May Peace Prevail on Earth are written in different languages on each side. On September 21, 2006 during the United States International Day of Peace, the peace pole was dedicated. After the dedication it was decided that 18 acres of city owned wetlands at the corner of Royal Fern and Birkdale Drives would make the perfect place for a peace park. Wellington donated $135,000 and the Rotary Club gave $16,000 towards the construction of the park. A boardwalk was added that goes across the wetlands along with an open gazebo. IThe park also has a semicircle of 6 flags. They include the U.S., Florida, Wellington, United Nations, Rotary International, and newly designed Wellington Peace Park flags. There is also a walkway and a plaque dedicated to Joan Boughner. The park was dedicated on September 21, 2008. The park is a lovely memorial to the memory of Joan Boughner. The board walk is the perfect place to enjoy a bit of nature. On the day I visited Blue Jays and Grackles as well as several kinds of butterflies were flying around. Whether you are coming to enjoy nature or contemplate world peace, Dr. Boughner has created a special spot for the people of Wellington.
