This review pertains to the Utilities Department located within the Village of Palm Springs (not…read morethe recreational center as Yelp seems to automatically assume). I was looking to relocate from an unincorporated area of Palm Beach County into Palm Springs. Since the apartment I rent is located within city limits, my lease stipulates that water service must be connected and provided by them. In November of 2016 after signing a lease for a 1 bed/1 bath, I headed over to Palm Springs Utilities. When I walked in the door, I immediately sat down with a lady behind the glass counter. As annoyed as she looked, she made a copy of the paperwork I handed her and proceeded to process my application that I had obtained through their website. After sitting there for quite some time, I noticed a bunch of people started gathering inside the office. It was only me and one other person around 2:30 P.M. in the afternoon prior. As I was getting near finishing connecting the water, the place became standing room only. A lot of people that were there had nothing but a variety of issues spanning from reconnecting services to payment problems. Once everything was said and done, I was charged $160.00. My jaw almost dropped to the ground, even though $150.00 of that is refundable upon moving out. Why, may I ask, is it so much money? $10.00 was for water/sewage I never used. After hastily paying the bill, I moved into my apartment. About one month later, I receive a statement from them in the mail. I used 2,000 gallons of water and was charged $42.64. Wow. Considering I work five days a week and live alone, where is all of this water going? Leaky pipes? I'm very careful when it comes to preserving resources. I take quick showers, turn the faucets off while brushing my teeth/shaving, and only flush when it's absolutely necessary. As of late-2017, the city imposed a raise in services. It is now $44.56 for 2,000 gallons. Somebody in their infinite wisdom decided it wasn't enough and tacked on an additional $1.92/month. Not only is the city guilty of ripping people off, but they have outrageous penalties. If you do not pay your bill by 5:00 P.M. on the 8th of every month, they charge you a $15.00 late fee. If a check bounces, it's $25.00. If they have to verify a meter reading, it's $30.00. When service is disconnected, they charge $60.00 for reactivation. And, if the meter has been tampered with that wasn't directly your fault, they assess additional fees. This actually makes me long for the days of when water/sewer was provided through the County. They were relatively cheap and easy to work with if there was a problem. The Village of Palm Springs is a prime example of poor municipality.

It is sandwiched between Orchard View Elementary School and a Delray Fire Station. Orchard View Park was dedicated on September 2, 2000. The land for this park was formerly known as Blood's Hammock Groves. The city of Delray Beach purchased the land from the Blood Family in order to create the park. You can still see many of the orchard's original trees which provide shade for the park. Orchard Park has a lot of great amenities which include six picnic pavilions, barbecue grills, a recently renovated playground with swings, climbing structures, and slides, the walking trail I enjoyed, a drinking fountain, restrooms and a parking lot that will hold 25 cars. Located off of busy west Atlantic Avenue this park was a great find and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

The park has three baseball fields, picnic tables, a fenced in playground for ages 2-5 years and 5-12 years, and restroom facilities. While this park is mainly geared to sports enthusiasts with its well-maintained fields which are often frequented by local players, I enjoyed the open grassy areas which are ideal for picnics, casual sports, or simply relaxing in the shade.

This park truly had a glow-up -- and I mean a serious one…read more About a year ago, I wasn't the biggest fan of Patch Reef Park. The playground used to feel a bit unsafe, especially for younger kids. There were tall play structures (including a ship-style area) with spots lacking proper railings, and some slides ended too high off the ground, which made landings uncomfortable and even risky. The splash area was a fun idea, but the flooring was worn out, and the restrooms definitely needed an upgrade. Fast forward to now -- everything has changed. The renovation completely transformed this space into one of our favorite family spots, especially during hot Florida days. The playground is now fully enclosed with a fence and has a single entrance, which makes it much easier to keep an eye on kids The layout is circular, so visibility is great from almost any angle There's a shaded splash pad area (huge plus in the summer!) A separate, safe toddler zone -- thoughtfully designed and much more secure Soft ground (similar to artificial turf) -- very comfortable for kids The splash area has rubber flooring, and the play structures for older kids are still fun but noticeably safer now. There are also two swing areas and a basketball court. Small note: I personally think the basketball area should be fenced off -- balls can occasionally fly into the playground (we've experienced that ourselves). There are benches and picnic tables, but they fill up quickly on weekends. Pro tip: bring a picnic blanket and lunch -- it turns into the perfect cozy family setup. Other great features: * Clean, spacious restrooms (with very large changing stations) * Drinking water fountain * Easy parking * A cute little free book box -- bring a book, take a book * Walking trails with lots of greenery -- perfect for scooters and relaxed strolls One tiny aesthetic note -- some of the flooring colors (bright red/blue) feel a bit intense visually, but the green areas look beautiful and natural. Overall: an amazing upgrade. Safe, clean, well-designed, and very family-friendly. We come here often now, and the kids absolutely love it.

The parking lot was generally the same but the rest of the park was a baseball field but ironically it didn't appear to fit too well.... just don't hit a homer between 2nd and 3rd base because the ball will end up landing in Lakes Drive and potentially hitting a car. Eventually the park was leveled and redesigned into what it is today.... While I like it, I also don't like it.... No playground; No sport courts; No restroom; No athletics; The park has numerous concrete paths leading winding around the park and intertwining each other; plenty of landscaping so it is pretty. Great park if you are pushing around a baby in a stroller or a dog antsy to strut its stuff but no activities for the kids wanting to blow-off some steam or play with other kids.

The walking trail that runs through this park is part of the Cypress Creek Greenway, a 16.5 mile network of concrete and asphalt trails in Broward County that run from the outskirts of the Everglades in Tamarac to the Atlantic Ocean. This part of the trail is a recent addition made to carry it from Atlantic Boulevard through Pompano Beach down to the water. Although well marked there is no connection between the western and eastern parts of the trail. In order to complete it you have to use the bike lanes on Lyons Road from Fern Forest nature center to McNab road. This is a great neighborhood park to have a picnic, watch an athletic game, or take the kids to play. On my visit I was able to watch the sun set on a gorgeous summer evening.
