First off, the park is in a residential section. To get to it from where we were, we had to go past a security guard and gate. Luckily, he just waved us in without having to explain our destination. I liked that the park had things for all ages so the very little kids wouldn't feel left out. For the big "kids", there's basketball courts, and tennis and pickleball courts. There's trees for shade plus benches and covered picnic tables, too. There a cute little lending library, swings for littles and one for smalls, slides, and a jungle gym (climbing structure). And in the back -- the splash pad. There's an on switch by the fence which activates a timer for the water. It sprays out of one area and turns and bubbles in another. The height of the water goes up and down, too. If only we'd worn our bathing suits! How lucky are the neighbors to have this lovely little park!

They have more than sufficient free parking though I would imagine that it gets tight if lots of people are here for the amphitheater. Check out the huge mural. This is a lovely park and a tremendous addition to the neighborhood. [Review 14793 overall, 295 of 2021, number 1286 in Florida.]

In 2010 the Community Redevelopment Agency hired REG architects to create a park. The city got input from the community about what they wanted the area to be. The park is named in honor of Sara Sims, a community activist who helped found the St. John Missionary Baptist Church in 1908. She is buried in the historic cemetery adjacent to the park. The city broke ground in October 2018. In November of 2019 a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the 1.3 million dollar renovation. The park has a steel amphitheater, new parking, restrooms, open lawn, exercise path with mile markers, four new pavilions with their own picnic tables and grills, upgraded racquetball and basketball courts, bicycle racks, and a playground. Security features were added to the park that included emergency call boxes, 5 cameras that allow officers to view the park at all times, and better lights for safety at night. As I was visiting a police car pulled up to keep an eye on the park. Only time will tell if the community embraces this park but the money Boynton Beach invested looks well spent.

But just after one visit we realized what an amazing park this is and often drive from two cities away just to visit. This park is a lovely escape to nature in South Florida. Boosting, many walking paths, bike paths, a dog park, a splash pad, frisbee, golf pitch, fishing areas, boating lake and many other sports areas. Overall, the paths pavement are generally well maintained, however, you do get a little bit of cracking as you do with most paved areas in Florida due to the heat- nothing too extreme, it was still easy to push a stroller. The bathrooms are always clean, yet admittedly, they are quite dated and dark on the inside, even though hygienically they are up to standards . Perhaps adding some better lighting on the inside could help make it feel a little nicer. Today while walking around the park, we visited many of the small playgrounds and our young child enjoyed getting out to play .

This hidden gem is now known as President Gerald R. Ford Lantana Bicentennial Park, renamed in 2007 to honor President Ford's 1976 visit commemorating the nation's 200th anniversary. Today, it's a peaceful and well-maintained waterfront spot right at the base of the bridge. The park offers a great mix of amenities, including picnic tables, grills, a playground, a picnic pavilion, a spacious green lawn, and clean restrooms. There's also a seawall and a fishing pier, making it a great place to cast a line or just relax by the water. Directly across the way, Sportsman Park provides even more fishing opportunities. The pavilion can be reserved through the city, but the picnic tables and grills are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is metered unless there's a special event, in which case the city provides a shuttle. Lantana also hosts community events here, including Fourth of July celebrations and a local green market. Even on a regular day, though, it's a perfect spot to sit along the water, take in the scenic views of Lake Worth Lagoon, and watch the boats drift by.

The signage and park also honors former President Gerald Ford. In front of the park sign, and in front of all the flagpoles, there's a separate small stone slab highlighting each armed services branch including the coast guard. Behind the signage is a large art installation. And there's a small butterfly sculpture nearer the waterway. The park is located on the north side of Ocean Avenue just west of the bridge going over the Intracoastal. There's a nice sized playground area -- including structures to climb and slide on, and also a set of swings. A few kids were loudly enjoying this. There's a covered pavilion; and bathroom facilities; there are benches spaced periodically. And a walkway along the wall running along the waterway. A fisherman was trying his hand from the side nearer the bridge. And a few folks were just enjoying the water views from benches and taking a "me" break. My husband is already planning to come back here to fish. And I'll be bringing a good book to enjoy while he catches us dinner.

Aim for early morning or later in the afternoon to snag a spot without the stress. What makes this park special is the covered area right next to the upper parking lot -- benches, shade, sea breezes, and a gorgeous view of the beach, all without a single grain of sand in your shoes. I've spent many a relaxed afternoon just soaking in the scenery from up there. But when the mood strikes, I grab my towel or beach chair and head down to the sand for the full beach experience. The amenities are solid: clean bathrooms and rinse-off showers, covered picnic pavilions with grills and tables, and lifeguards on duty daily from 9 to 5. With the recent beach expansion, there's even more shoreline to spread out and embrace your inner beach bum. Whether you're here to unwind in the shade or dig your toes in the sand, Oceanfront Park delivers. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!

On Memorial Day, there were several groups barbecuing and having parties at the picnic tables around the parking lot area. There were clean bathrooms and the beach was also free of litter. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of seaweed and a bit of a drop down before getting to the water but overall very nice beach.

I honestly did not know what to expect but when I walked in the doors I felt immediately welcomed. I love that the front door stays locked for security purposes and the check-in system was super smooth. The price of play was $15 which was more than reasonable. My son immediately took his shoes off and began to explore. The owner offered me a cup of coffee (I immediately knew we were in the right place lol) and we engaged in delightful conversation. This is not your "typical" indoor playground which I love more than anything. Totally tech free! There are endless centers and sections of play areas for kids to get lost in imaginative and engaging play time, whether with friends or independently. There is a full size trampoline, toddler trampoline and slide for the kids to enjoy as well.

We went mid November and the scenery wasn't the best considering it's been dry and hot outside.

Not too many parking spaces, but I don't think that is a dealbreaker considering it's more of an observation area. My son walked to the top to grab a few photos since I couldn't get his sleeping sister up there in the stroller.
