    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.

    Currie Park is named in honor of George Graham Currie a Palm Beach Renaissance man. Mr. Currie was…read moreborn near Montreal in 1867. In 1895 he was in New York and wanted to get to Cuba to report on an insurgence. On the way he ended up broke and stranded in West Palm Beach. He started out working as a typist and living in a rooming house. From there he earned a law degree and made a fortune developing real estate. He served s mayor from 1901 to 1904. He went on to write 18 books of poetry, music lyrics, and essays and had a regular column in the Palm Beach Post. At the age of 59 he died of a heart attack on September5, 1926. Currie Park was dedicated in 1949. Currie Park is 13 and a half acres along the Intracoastal near the Northwood neighborhood. The park has tennis courts, fishing piers, a playground, a boat ramp. A maritime museum, and a memorial to the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. The park also has a large green space where the city holds free concerts during the winter months of the third Sunday of the month from 4 to 7 PM. I got to enjoy the concert they had this past Sunday, the R&B Derek Mack Band. Although this park has a lot of great amenities the best one has to be the view. This linear park offers a stunning view of the water and it is the perfect place to lay back and watch the boats sail by. Currently there are plans to build a tower next to the park and the developer has plans to make improvements to the park. Only time will tell what the future of Currie Park will be but it is just about perfect the way it is.

The South Olive Community Center provides classes and programs for the south end of Palm Beach as well as after school care. There is also a really fun looking splash pad for the kids. Much needed improvements to the park were provided by a 2020 Parks Bond Referendum. The old tennis center was a former beach house that had been moved to the park and had been in disrepair for years. In 2020, the city broke ground on a 2 million dollar tennis center and tennis courts that host the South Florida Tennis Program. Hundreds of tennis players are drawn to the courts each week. South Olive Park is a great place to take the kids to play or cool off on a hot day but more than that the tennis and community center anchor the community and bring people together for education and recreation. This park is a treasure for the south end.

    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 don't like writing negative reviews, but this constructive criticism below hopefully can help…read moreimprove this playground one day). 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.

    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.

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.

The last time I was here the playground was closed after being shut down July 2022 for construction activity related to the Town Center Phase 2 project. It resumed regular operating hours in May of 2023. When I visited the recent Lakeside Market I was delighted to find it filled with happy children playing on the unique and inclusive equipment. Scott's Place Barrier-Free Playground was built in 2010 with a donation made by Wellington residents Del and Barbara Williamson in honor of their son Scott Scott had cerebral palsy and sadly passed away at age of six. The playground is barrier free meaning it was designed to meet the needs of both able-bodied and disabled children. There aren't many playgrounds created to be barrier free so this is a very special play space for all of the children of Wellington to enjoy. As part of this project, Wellington held a community build weekend event where more than 300 volunteers assembled all of Scott's Place playground equipment. This fenced in playground is themed to Wellington's horse culture with a large horse statue, play wagon, and a horse spring rider. There are the traditional climbing equipment and swings that you expect to find at any playground but also special equipment like sensory items, a communication board where non verbal children can point at pictures to let people know their needs, and wheelchair ramps. There is also a reading corner, covered pavilion, benches, and restrooms. Parents can appreciate the safety aspects of this play space while the kids can enjoy creative play that encourages imagination and physical movement. Kudos to Wellington for creating this safe, clean, and inclusive environment for children to play and explore.

This is especially helpful for children with communication challenges, promoting inclusion and self-expression. Love that! The park is well-designed with accessible pathways, sensory play areas, and safe equipment suitable for various ages. My kids love it here. We periodically come after school so they can get some of the energy out before going home. Those who know, know! There are also shaded spots for parents to relax and watch their kids play. Overall, Scott's Place is a welcoming, thoughtful space that encourages social interaction and supports children's emotional well-being through play.
