Created in 2012 at a cost of 23 million dollars, Commons Park is a gorgeous 160 acre park located in Royal Palm Beach. It is the crowning jewel of the city and it serves as the community centerpiece. The park is located off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard on the site of the former Traditions Golf Course.
Park amenities include a three-story, 17,000-square-foot sporting center with a banquet hall, 20 picnic pavilions with tables and grills, stage with 10 acre great lawn, six fishing docks, two playgrounds, Golf Training Center withdriving range and 18 hole tournament green, canoe/kayak launch, disc golf, splash pad, 2 sand volleyball courts, 2 ADA accessible playgrounds, dog park, and 3 miles of paved walking/jogging/bike trails along a 20 acre lake.
Many events are staged throughout the year in the park including concerts, movie nights, and festivals. The park is also home to the Parkside Cafe. There is so much to enjoy here. I got my steps in by walking around the park on the exercise path and the splash pad look especially inviting on this hot day. At the entrance to the park it looks like they are setting up for a fun haunted house carnival for Halloween. It starts on September 30th. read more
