They were among a half dozen sharecroppers who eventually were able to buy the land they farmed enabling them to work for themselves. Tony Mitchell helped those in his community get business loans and Cheatham Moore was the first African-American appointed to the City's Housing Authority. Mitchell and Moore were both instrumental in getting the city to create Westside Park in 1951 so that African-Americans in the segregated city would have a place for recreation. The park has now been named the Mitchell Moore Park and Community Center to honor the men's legacy. You can find the 16.1 acre Mitchell Moore Park next to Blanche Ely High School. Park amenities include a 10,000 square foot community center which has a gymnasium, arts and crafts room, meeting rooms, and kitchen. The park also has five lighted basketball courts, football/soccer field, picnic pavilion, playground area, lighted softball/baseball fields, four lighted tennis courts, volleyball courts, and the Houston/ Sworn Aquatic Center with 9, 25 yard lap lanes and 2, one meter spring boards.

Other improvements to the park included new synthetic turf football field, an electronic scoreboard, a new press box, shaded seating, an enhanced walking trail, and upgrades to the two existing baseball fields, and building refurbishments.

Everything was open. I enjoyed the running/fitness track which circles the park. The track is made of a squishy like material which at first I felt like I was sinking into, but by the second day I got used to. There were plenty of people using the park but it did not seem over crowded, it looked like parking may be an issue if there was a game or too many visitors. it was a pleasant place to spend some time while my son was practicing!

My wife and I walked around looking at all the beautiful plants and trees for several hours. They also have a few water falls as well. They have paved walkways and you can bring your dogs along for the walk. They do have trails you can venture off through the plants and trees that leads back to the paved paths. We loved it! On the grounds they have tennis courts, basketball courts and a nice playground for kids. If you are ever in the area you MUST stop by this park! We definitely recommend it!

Kids were happily playing on the playground, couples relaxed on benches, and a few people stretched out on blankets on the grassy areas soaking up the sun. Even with families and activity, it somehow still felt peaceful and restorative. Walking the trails surrounded by exotic plants and towering trees is magical. It's amazing how this lovely, tucked-away spot (you can only see it if you're looking for it) can feel so calm and healing right in the middle of the city. A perfect place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature.

I loved my visit to this six acre park in the Colonnade at Glen Oaks neighborhood in Boca Raton…read more The Colonnade was built in two phases in the 1980's and 1990's. This is a highly desirable neighborhood near great schools. It is comprised of approximately 350, single family homes. A lot of the neighborhood parks in Boca have signs that state they are only for neighborhood residents to use. I like that you won't find any such discouraging signs here. There is a sizeable parking lot so even people from outside of the neighborhood can come over to use the park. Park amenities at Boca Tierra Park include a basketball court, outdoor fitness path with stations, outdoor fitness equipment, grills, picnic pavilions with tables, a pickleball court, tennis court, restrooms, volleyball court, and a playground. My favorite part of the park was the exercise path. There were quite of few people walking as well as kids ridding on scooters and bikes the evening I visited. This is a nice than average neighborhood park with beautiful shade and flowering trees and lush landscaping. If you are looking for an even longer exercise path visit Pondhawk Natural Area nearby that has a miles long path that winds around two lakes and for more park amenities the larger Patch Reef Park is just down the street.

The update from the city included resurfacing of the basketball court (3 hoops / 1 for little kids), a couple of covered pavilions and a pair of exercise pieces added. The park has two sets of swings - one for little kids and another for bigger kids. There are two sets of playgrounds for under 5 and over 5 age groups. There are a lot of benches and picnic tables under some nice tree cover from the sun. And there is a sidewalk around the entire area for a nice loop by skates, bikes or scooters.

Park amenities include a playground, basketball court, and walking path. Upgrades to the park were supposed to be made this summer to extend the walking path, add outdoor exercise equipment, resurface the basketball court, and add two new pavilions. This a cute park and there were a lot of people in the neighborhood using it especially now that Palm Beach has moved into phase 2 of reopening and the playgrounds are open. If you are looking for a larger park, I recommend the newly opened nearby Hillsboro El Rio Park South which has a much larger playground, longer exercise paths, and access to El Rio Canal for boats and kayaks.

There is a drinking fountain, clean restrooms, covered picnic tables, and even double swings facing the water, which make it a perfect place to relax. Watching the yachts pass by along the waterfront while enjoying the breeze makes this park feel very peaceful. It's an ideal spot for a picnic, family gathering, or even a birthday party. One thing I really appreciate is that the pier has life ring stations for emergencies. It's nice to see that safety details like this were thoughtfully planned. The area is also regularly patrolled by police, which adds a sense of security. The only downside is that there are almost always homeless people around. They haven't caused any issues during our visits, but it's something to be aware of. Overall, it's a lovely park with beautiful views and plenty of amenities for families with kids.
