While heading through Lantana on my way to the beach, I stumbled across a beautiful Intracoastal…read morepark and decided to stop and get a few extra steps in--and I'm so glad I did. 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.

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 is a new playground between the Children's School House Museum and City Hall. It was called…read morethe Kids Kingdom because old playground had a castle structure that was built in 1996. It was a great playground and my daughter used to play on it when she was a child. Through the years the playground began to decay and it become dangerous with nails sticking out of the wood. When the old playground was demolished part of the castle structure was saved and moved to another playground. The new playground is part of the 16 acre Town Square project, a mixed use development that will include town hall, library, fire station, cultural venter, children's museum, amphitheater, green space, public art, and much more. The new playground was designed to make it easier for parents to keep an eye on their kids, something that was difficult in the old playground. The playground has climbing structures and slides. I especially love the large butterfly wings and grasses that are inspired by nature. The kids looked like they were having a blast today on the playground during the Pirate and Mermaid Festival. When they redid the park I'm glad they decided to save the large Kapok tree which provides much needed shade.

I was so excited to check out this newly built playground, and I could not have been more disappointed. There is just no way this playground was planned with input from experts or parents :( One of the main problems is that this 1 playground is actually separated into 2 playgrounds, 1 for younger children and one for older children. This would be fine if they were adjacent, but they are not; in fact, one playground cannot be seen from the other! Instead they are separated by a sidewalk (not fenced in and completely open to the road,) and due to a tall building and a slight corner turn, there is no way to see one playground from the other playground and vice versa. Therefore, 1 parent or caretaker cannot separate different aged children and watch both at the same time. Thus, the little playground is empty - because there is nothing here for older kids to do, while the older kid playground is chock full of little children, who are stuck with their older siblings. Not only are the littles using playground equiptment that is too old for them, several spinning apparatus consistently knocked over the younger kids once the piece started spinning. Also, the little playground is a bigger space than the older kids playground, despite all the kids being on the bid kid playground. Parent seating: there is no place for parents inside the fenced playground. There are benches placed outside of the fence for the parents, which is a terrible terrible practice. Now kids are falling over crying and their parents are on a bench outside of the playground. Lack of gate signs: The entrances to the gate of the playground are unmarked. Not a single sign or indicator or where or how to open the playground gate doors. Thus, it is very difficult to get in if you are a parent sitting on an outside bench, because the entire gate looks the same. Lack of signage: there are no signs on the little playground that faces the adjacent playground that indicates: name of playground, what the hours of the playground are, etc. Nothing! considering that the playground fence is physically attached to the back of the Old School Museum building, it is very unclear that this is in fact a public playground open to anyone, instead of a privately owned playspace. Also, there are no signs at each individual playground sharing the info that the other playground is around the corner. More poor planning: inside the big kids playground is a fenced storage area. This is not for kids, but for some reason it is actually inside of their fenced in playground. This makes absolutely no sense. Presumable some non-kid-friendly items live inside here, perhaps a trash bin or tools or chemicals? It would be so so easy for bored kids to climb this fence and go inside, or for someone to leave the door cracked or unlocked. I have never ever seen such strange planning for adult equipment to be kept inside a play space for kids. This playground is across from city hall and adjacent to municipal buildings, yet the only place for this hazardous stuff is inside the playground? Poor equipment: this playground may have been only a year old and already there is rust marks on most of the climbing material, one of the 2 very popular spinning pieces are broken. Also, the equipment is just not that fun. Having so many individual play pieces causes frustration and competition amongst the kids, and it would have made more sense to have communal pieces. This has to be some of the worst and unimaginitive play pieces I've seen of any playgrounds ever. And, no swings. And more: Lots of empty space inside, with zero nature, no trees or anything and no shade at all either.

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.

I asked for an extension; I was given two weeks and then I need to leave. I was told that if I die it's not their problem, the rules are the rules. The security at the Campground is very good, but that's about it. The water supply is from the contaminated Lake Osborne. Even with double filters the water is polluted. Many guests informed me that they were told the water comes from Lake Worth Beach, this is a lie. The Campground is in unincorporated Lake Worth, and the water supply is Lake Osborne. 2024 Lake Osborne was incredibly infested with bacteria and coli issues. During 2016 the same. People are told not to wash with the water or use it to prepare food. Just Google Lake Osborne and the proof is in the pudding, but don't make the pudding with the water. They have very little grass and each site is infested with Red Ants who attack the children and the dogs and cats. Upon complaints they left a spray can of Raid Ant Killer and said that's the best they can do. Grass is basically non-existent. There's no pool and the laundry room is closed at 2100 hrs. There is no background check so we had a problem with an adult male who really enjoyed hanging out at the playground. Since the management refuses to deal with it, myself and several other guests had to take up the task of making it so uncomfortable the he finally left. The Park Rangers use every light on their vehicles while in the park, even though it's against Policy & Procedure and has caused some people to have seizures. The trees are not properly maintained and caused damage to my Camper during high winds. I was told that I should turn it over to my issuance and they have no responsibility. Update: I was just called by JJP Management. They told me if I work with the Homeless Intervention Team they will give me two weeks. Two Weeks??????????? I was told, they don't want me to die but they can't help me, which is triggering my PTSD and my blood pressure is going through the roof. They actually made a reservation for me at the Campground in South Bay, Florida, where I worked as an LEO for years, and I know I'm 45 minutes away from a cardiac unit and I would most like die. I was told they don't want me to die but their rules supersede my possible death. Talkin over me and treating me like a homeless person, I have always paid my rent and am paid to the 27th and then I have to leave. This is sick. It's one thing to disregard my extreme medical condition, but to call me and humiliate me is even worse. Several guest approached me about my yelp review and wanted to add to it.

Prior to the creation of the park there was only a small mulch pathway leading to the water. Parking is available along Boynton Beach Boulevard. The park is a paved walkway that runs through a mangrove nature preserve before ending at the Intracoastal Waterway. Mangroves are important because they help reduce erosion and they filter pollutants out of the water. Along the path there is supposed to be shade covers but they have been removed leaving only the metal supports. At the end of the path there is seating and a waterfront venue that can be used to stage events. The scenic intracoastal is beautiful and you get a view of the Banana Boat restaurant, the Two Georges Waterfront Grille, the Ocean Ave. Drawbridge, and all of the boats going down the Intracoastal.
