    Dubois Park

    We absolutely loved DuBois Park and Beach. It's now one of our favorite family spots in Florida…read more With calm, shallow waters and a sandy lagoon perfect for kids, plus picnic areas and shady spots for relaxing, the experience completely blew us away. I've honestly never found another place quite like it for families. The water is calm, shallow, and sheltered, with no waves or strong current, making it ideal for time with our three-year-old. She loved playing at the water's edge, and the tranquil conditions made it much easier to relax without worrying about waves or tides. The setting is also beautiful, with sandy areas along both sides of the water, natural trees that provide real shade, and plenty of spots if you prefer to sit out in the sun. The park felt incredibly clean and well-cared-for, with picnic benches and grills throughout, public restrooms nearby, and a lifeguard tower, though no lifeguard was on duty when we visited. There is also a pirate-ship playground, which is a fun bonus for families if kids want a break from the water. One tip: the rubber surface gets very hot in the sun, so flip-flops or other shoes are a good idea. One of the highlights is watching boats come and go from the harbor from nearly every vantage point, giving the area an authentic Florida vibe. Crossing the bridge over the lagoon's mouth also leads directly to the beach. What truly impressed us was how welcoming and inclusive the park felt. We heard multiple languages, saw diverse families and groups enjoying themselves, and everyone seemed relaxed, content, and authentic. The genuine, easygoing atmosphere made the park even more memorable. It felt like a blend of locals and visitors, both welcoming and family-oriented, with immaculate grounds. Although parking fills up, it never feels hectic. We've visited many beaches in Florida and beyond, but this one genuinely stands out. We plan to return as often as possible.

    I LOVE Dubois Park and grew up coming here. It's more of a hidden gem in Jupiter, which I love…read more It's more of a local beach and doesn't draw tourists so it's more quiet and a nicer experience. Very relaxing! I can sit here all day. Since I visited last time they have installed a children's play area with a pirates ship it's adorable. This is great for families with children. There are lots of picnic benches and areas to sit down. You can go in the water unless it says otherwise. There's a bridge which will take you from one side of the park to the other. This is a perfect place to come to take pictures. I recommend over the other beaches. Come visit!

    I finally ventured further down the path in this park and was greatly pleased! On my first trip…read morehere, I stopped after reaching the first 'river' pavilion, because the path forward looked more like a side street than a park path, as it is wide enough for a car. But this time I kept going and found another river lookout, this one with a boardwalk that actually went out over the River. After that, the path went into another part of woods. It meandered along until we reached a tiny boardwalk bridge over a slightly marshy area and then found we had reached the very end of the park, where it intersected with a main road near the highway. Once again, we had the park all to ourselves, which was a treat. These days, with so little rain, so many plants looked brown and lifeless. We saw a gopher tortoise and a black snake.

    This is a very nice hike through the northeast portion of the Everglades. You start off from the…read moreparking lot on the Bracken Fern Nature Trail which is paved and wheelchair accessible. It is flanked on either side by slash pine which provides shade. There are also sections of scrubby flatwoods and bracken fern. The length of this trail is 1/4 mile. When the pavement ends the trail turns to the left and becomes the Gallberry Hiking Trail which parallels a canal. Mangroves grow along the waters edge and there is a lookout pavilion and a fishing pier. If you come during the winter you might be able to catch sight of manatees in the C-18 canal. This part of the trail backs a neighborhood and you can enter from the street to join the trail here. The final portion of the trail veers of through a denser forest before transitioning into scrubby flatwoods. You cross over a bridge that goes over a small stream that once fed into the Loxahatchee River. The trail ends at the Island Way Road. If you walk the trail and back to the parking lot you will have traveled 1.2 miles. I didn't see any wildlife on this trip but I still enjoyed my hike. It was mostly shaded which I appreciated and the three distinct parts of the trail made the hike interesting. I plan to come back during the colder months to see if I can spot a manatee.

    This marker can be accessed at Jupiter Beach Park. It was installed at the Jupiter inlet on April…read more2, 2013 to honor all of the sailors who passed through the inlet. During the 17th century many Spanish galleons and merchant ships wrecked off the coast leaving behind a trove of gold, silver, cannons, anchors, flatware and navigational tools. The riches they left behind gave this section of Florida the name Treasure Coast. One of most well known ships was the San Miguel Arcangel which is thought to have sunk off the Jupiter coast in 1659 or 1660 while trying to enter the inlet during a storm. The ship was an aviso which carried letters to the Spanish court as well as treasure. The wreck was discovered by town lifeguard Peter Leo in 1987. He discovered the cannons in the sand while swimming, Silver and gold coins, flatware, musket and cannon balls, and a copper pot were eventually recovered. Six of the cannons still remain where they lay. Jupiter hopes that by setting up this marker along with others in Jupiter, people can learn more about the history of this area. Across from this marker is an anchor and cannons are in front of the nearby historic Dubois House. You can learn more about the area shipwrecks at the Jupiter Lighthouse Museum. A local restaurant on Dixie Hwy, the Shipwreck Bar and Grill is decorated to pay homage to the sunken Spanish Galleons and their spilled treasure off the coast.

    Burt Reynolds Park - A playground in shade

    This park is big!…read more In the front is the fire department and a lot of boat trailer parking, with 2 or 3 loading docks for boats,etc.. In the middle is the (wonderful!) Loxahatchee River Center. I had never been farther than here, until recently. It is worth checking out! Behind the Center is a large parking lot with several secluded spots with picnic tables that sit along the River, a large covered pavilion that is rentable, a lot of what looks like horseshoe tossing stations, a volleyball court (without a net), a sweet little playground, and nice public bathrooms. The playground here is great - rarely busy, it has just enough different elements to keep it fun, plus swings. It is shady, with a lovely waterfront breeze, and benches for adults to sit on. While it is not fenced in, it is connected to a picnic area and generally feels pretty secluded. When the playground gets old, my kids and I walked towards the public docks. There is a paddleboard renting structure there, where you can rent one by using a credit card, but the lifejackets are pretty sun-worn-out. Really cool concept though! My kids like to walk out on the docks and check out the boats that frequent this area. There is also a kayak entrance where they can get their feet wet next to the mangroves. After hitting up this area and back in my car, I finally drove the loop behind the Center. It is all waterfront, with little covered picnic spots and river access for those with kayaks or canoes. What perfect spots for a gathering or hangout. These are almost hidden, as the road loops one way and parking is all in the grass.

    This park was a stop on our Sunday adventure. You can't travel through Jupiter without paying…read moretribute to the passing of it's favorite son Burt Reynolds. The park was named for Burt who was a lifelong resident of the area. The 35.55 acre park that bears his name spans both sides of US Highway 1. The main attraction of the park is the Loxahatchee River Center which has aquariums and interactive exhibits. Unfortunately it was closed on our visit. There is also a nature area out back. If you are a boater or fisherman you can do both recreational activities here. There are boat ramps and canoe and kayak launches. 2,000 feet ofthe park is on the intracoastal. There is also a playground, sand volleyball court, picnic pavilion, picnic tables, grills, and a restroom. I think that it is really nice that Jupiter decided to honor Burt by naming a park for him. He gave a lot back to his community and although he is no longer with us his presence still looms large in the town that he loved.

    Enjoyed watching my grandson play a baseball double header a few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon…read more Over the years, I passed this park frequently while dropping my sons off at the nearby Boy Scout camp. I'm glad I had a chance to visit this park. Jupiter Community Park is huge. I saw numerous baseball, football, and soccer fields as well as picnic shelters and a playground. The concession stand was not open on Sunday, so I can't say what is available for refreshments. The restrooms were open and were very clean. I saw a park employee circling the park on a golf cart checking the restrooms, fields, and trash cans while the games were being played. Everything was very tidy and clean. The scoreboard at the field where my grandson's baseball game was played was in use during the game. It was fun to see the score and keep up with the game. Two nature trails are available for hiking which would be nice to explore when the weather is cool. This park is a gem for the town of Jupiter.

This a well maintained park perfect is primarily used for team sports. What drew me to the park was the North Jupiter Flatwoods Area. You can find the entrance in Jupiter Community Park. It is a 160 acre natural preserve with two hiking trails where you can see animals and plants in their native environments. The paved trail has been certified as autism friendly. This park has something for everyone. You can participate in team sports or the more solitary pursuits of hiking, bird watching, and photography. No matter what you are into, this along with the other parks of Jupiter, are outstanding.
