    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.

    This park was across the street from where we were dining. After lunch we walked over. It's a joint…read moreeffort between the city of Lantana and the Lantana Chamber of Commerce. 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.

    Alice Mickens Park is located in the historic Northwest neighborhood in West Palm Beach. In the…read more1920's this neighborhood was booming after WWI and it was made up of impressive homes owned by affluent middle class blacks. One such home was the Mickens house which was a destination of black scholars and intellectuals and visitors who were refused lodging at nearby hotels. These included Count Basie and Louis Armstrong when they were performing in the area. Other notable people who came here to meet with the Mickens family included Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ralph Bunche, Asa Philip Randolph, who organized the first predominantly Black labor union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach in 1929, who came to West Palm Beach to raise money and persuade the state Legislature to build a home for young Black women who would have otherwise been put in prison. Alice Mickens passed away in 1988 at the age of 99. She lived by the mantra "Service is the price you pay for the stint you have on earth." Alice Mickens was sixth and youngest child of former slaves from South Carolina. Dr. Mickens was born in Bartow, but moved to West Palm Beach at an early age. She was an honors graduate from Spelman College in Atlanta. Later in life Mickens served as a trustee at Bethune-Cookman for more than three decades and received an honorary doctorate from the university. A science lecture hall there is named in her honor. Dr. Alice Mickens may be best remembered as a pioneer for black voting rights. Dr. Moore's 1917 home built by her husband Haley Mickens and which has the distinction of being the oldest home continuously owned by a black and the Northwest neighborhood are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through the years the neighborhood deteriorated but exciting things are happening. The city is in the process of identifying historic structures and drafting plans that include residential spaces and a restaurant. Some of the construction is happening across the street from the park. Alice Mickens Park offers am acre of recreational space in the midst of this historic neighborhood. Park amenities include a shade covered playground with areas for toddlers and older children, a full size basketball court, and benches. This park is the heart of a historic community in transmission. As a champion of historic preservation, I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds.

    This park is still awesome!…read more It is hidden inside of a gated community- the residential part of the city of Atlantis- but the gate just lets everyone in no matter what. However, being hidden isn't a bad thing! I love the seclusion here and the relative safety of a park that is surrounded by residences (which deters random people from loitering in the park). The splash pad is broken, but the other elements are spot on: playground equipment, swings, lots of white sand for digging around in, great climbing tree at the front, pickleball/tennis courts, a covered pavilion with several tables, a basketball court, and bathrooms. Plus, it's completely gated, with a grassy area in the back for running or playing. I can chill here while my kids wander and play with relative freedom within the gated park. We have a kid friend who doesn't like to be in big crowds of kids, so this almost always quiet playground is perfect for him. Parking is very limited, but often there are no cars here at all.

    The splash pad is actually just a part of the larger Kintz Park. And kids would love it all. It's…read morenot a large park, but it packs a lot of activity items in it. 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!
