Flamingo Park is a 2 acre open green space in the Flamingo Park neighborhood of Palm Beach. The…read morepark has a small swing sweet, benches, and majestic banyan trees. What most people don't know about the park is that it is also a cemetery. Approximately 100 bodies lie beneath the grass. No one knows how many exactly because people who could not afford a formal burial would come here in the middle of the night to bury their dead. The land the park sits on was once owned by the Lakeside Cemetery Association who purchased the property from the city in 1902. They then used it as an African-American cemetery while white people were buried in Pioneer Memorial Park on land where the Norton Museum of Art now resides. In 1913 the city wanted the land back so they could sell it for development but they were blocked by the Supreme Court. Burials were stopped and five years later the land was donated to the city who turned it into a park named Dixie Playground and later the name changed to Flamingo Park, the same as the historic neighborhood that surrounds it. The city didn't give up on selling the land first in 1966 for houses and in 1991 as an exotic car shoot room. Neighborhood protest blocked both projects. The city seems to be resigned to having a park here now and they have made improvements including a walkway and benches. A statue called Girl With a Shawl was added to act as a memorial to the people who are buried here but whose names have been lost to time. You can read about the history of the park on a historical marker that has been placed in the park. The park is now mainly used by homeless people but the centuries old banyan trees will sometimes attract people posing for a picture. This park is a piece of the history of Palm Beach. Thanks to community activists we still have it to enjoy today.

Small little park with a lot of history. This park use to be an African American cemetery back in…read more1902. Its located in down town West Palm beach not far from City Place and Clematis Street. Flamingo park has a monument of a girl and around the girl are some benches. I am told by a friend that knows the area that there are a lot of vagrant people in this area . So we stayed for a short time. We could see that there were a lot of beers cans laying around .What a shame to trash a park that should be respected because of its history. The park has beautiful large trees and even a small playground. Come check out this neighborhood park. Parking is not good.

Flagler Park is a 7 mile long linear park along the waterfront in West Palm Beach. The park runs…read morealong the west side of the Intracoastal from Currie Park, past the arts and entertainment district and through historic neighborhoods to Summa Beach Park in the city's south end. At the eastern end of Clematis Street are two angled short streets that branch off to create a triangle shaped common area. Ever since Palm Beach was founded the park has served as an important meeting place for the community. Merchants used to hold ball games and then a library, women's club, and bandstand were added. Today the Palm Beach community still uses the park to stage events. Every Thursday, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m is Clematis by Night which is an event that has concerts, food, and drinks. During the holidays in December you can visit Sandiland home of the world's only 35-foot, 700 ton holiday sand tree, Sandi. In May the park is the site of the annual Sunfest art and music event. Even when there isn't an event the park has a splash pad to cool the kiddies off in and a stunning view of the water and downtown West Palm Beach. Parking can be found in the area at one of the many nearby city garages.

While looking for place to get a few steps in I stumbled across Mary Brandon Park. It is a small…read moreneighborhood park tucked near the northeast corner of the West Palm Beach Golf Course, just east of Forest Hill High School and the West Palm Beach Country Club. It's named after Mary Brandon, a local politician who served on the city's Parks and Recreation Commission in the 1960s. Established in 1999, this park holds the distinction of being the first dog park in the City of West Palm Beach. It features two separate fenced areas--one for small dogs (25 pounds and under) and another for larger dogs. Amenities include dog-friendly water fountains, play tunnels, as well as plenty of chairs, benches, and tables for owners to relax. In July 2019, the city unveiled a brand-new playground, replacing older equipment with updated, shade-covered slides and climbing structures. In addition to the dog park and playground, the park also offers picnic pavilions, a baseball field, restrooms, and a large open green space that's perfect for running around or getting some exercise. I really appreciate how the city created a space that caters to both kids and dogs. It's a welcoming, versatile park that serves the neighborhood well--perfect for a casual afternoon outdoors. I'd definitely come back, especially if I brought my dog or just wanted a quiet place to unwind outside for a while.

We were heading south on Georgia Avenue after our lunch and came across this neighborhood park…read more This is a West Palm Beach park of about six and a half acres. It's perfect for kids and dogs. There is a nice playground area with a structure, benches, a softball field, a basketball court, a walking path, and open grass to run around in. For the pet owner, there are two dog "parks"/dog run areas for differing size dogs that are fenced in. When we stopped by, there was only one other car parked in the lot. It was lovely weather so I was surprised that more people were not taking advantage of the first sunny day in a while. There are some large old trees providing shade, too. We'd be here often if we lived in the neighborhood.
