    Walkway to the slides
    Andrea H.

    One of the best parks in the area. It's over 130 acres and has some of the best attractions for kids and adults. I haven't been here in years and I met a friend who was going to get her annual beach pass. It was a little nostalgic because as I walked around the Fieldhouse, I had so many memories from when the kids were little. For years I spent every weekend here. Between basketball, baseball and when there weren't sports, we just went to the park. The huge science themed playground is one that every child loves. Swings, twisty slides, spinners, climbing areas and a splash area for when it gets really hot. My boys could spend hours here. They loved going through the tunnels to the slides and since it's made for little ones, it's difficult for parents to go up so you have to trust that they will be able to get up and down safely. When my younger one finished playing we would head right over to the carousel. I cannot believe the carousel is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Feels like just yesterday I took my son the day it opened. The park has so much more to offer than just outdoor activities. Inside there's a free hands-on science museum for children with everything from rocket ships to molecules. It's a fun way to introduce your children to science. The Willow Theater is a small performing arts venue hosting plays, concerts, and performances year-round. So many great things to take advantage of here. One of the best things in Boca.

    This place is fun for all ages. My little guy just turned one and he enjoyed the baby area. We also walked all around the park and had so much fun. There's also a science museum and a carousel, but we weren't able to check them out the day we went as they were not available during the time we were there. It gets really crowded, but even with a lot of people, there's plenty to do and plenty of space.

    This park had me from the moment I saw the carrousel! Carrousels are a kid's dream come true. They seem so magical, relaxing and fun! My daughter was riding for the first time ever and she absolutely loved it. She is only one year old and I was glad they allowed us to ride the carrousel while holding her. They also have an amazing playground area. It was a very hot day so we didn't spend much time there, but look forward to coming back. We did checked out the little science museum and it was so much fun. Even though is a small one there were enough things to keep my daughter entertained. I recommend this park for little and big children, there is something to enjoy for everyone! Tip: in order to use the carrousel one needs to buy "tokens" inside the museum building at the front office. It's only $1 per ride/per person.

    This park has been on my bucket list for the longest and I finally got to take my son this weekend. It did not disappoint at all. My son enjoyed everything from the splash pad, the playground and even the carousel (my son doesn't even like carousels). And he loved the science explorium. It was really interactive and he had a blast. Definitely plan to return.

    We came across this while we were on our trip in Florida. Located conveniently next to a children's science museum. It's a big park with a splash pad in the middle and a huge slide. The design of it is very nice and creative. There's also a carousel, $1 USD per ride - not bad at all. My kids had a great time! There are quite a bit of tables for you to sit down and eat if you wanted to bring food. Highly recommend visiting!

    Such a fun cute park! Absolutely loved that the playground had so much to do and even had a carousel across. The park was very clean and not too full. It had a splash area in the middle of the playground, picnic tables, and seating all around to keep an eye on the kids. The carousel was also very fun with one token per ride which cost one dollar. They also had a science exploration center which we didn't get to check out giving me a reason to go back and take the kids. This is the perfect place to spend spring break or even a summer day. Can't wait to return.

    Visited this park on a Monday morning the day, Broward County schools were back in session. I had been so excited to check this out with my 3 year old. We made the 40 min trip and it was so worth it. While in pictures and videos, it is obviously big I did not expect it to be this big. There is so much to do at this park.From splash pad to carousel to a well thought out layout of playground. There's an indoor museum that is based off of donations. You can absolutely spend a day here depending on your child's age. I would say ideally the age range that would most enjoy this park are from 5- 12. If you have kids younger than that age, range be prepared to follow your child everywhere. The playground structure is like a maze once you are inside the playground you will be going up down and all around. This is not an enclosed playground.There are different slide sizes, plenty of swinging and lots of space, there's even a splash pad right in the middle of the playground structure. On Mondays the carousel is closed so we will be back however it did not derail us from checking out the rest of what the park had. After the playground, we went to check out the indoor science museum, which was so much fun. I am amazed at how thorough and well thought out this park is. My daughter was engaged from the moment we got there to the moment that we left so much so she did not want to leave. At the science center there was the opportunity to walk a trail and play Bug bingo. The bathrooms were clean and well taken care of. We had such an amazing time and will absolutely be back.

    Never been here. Never heard of this place before. The only reason we came here was for a Scout event next door at the Children's Science Explorium. Sugar Sand Park is AMAZING!!! I've never been to a playground this massive before. And I've seen tons of playgrounds between three kids. It's three stories tall and goes way past just the main area when you walk in. There are swings, climbing structures, small kids playground and spaces with covered huts and tables/chairs so you can sit and hang or eat. Really a beautiful playground. Well designed all around. I have to say being an adult I was super excited to be here. I can't even imagine what kids feel like when they walk in here, it must be like Disney World for them! Haha. If you're in the area and have kids, bring them here. You won't be sorry. My kids did not want to leave!!!

    This is an enormous park. Probably the largest park that I've ever been to. We have nothing like this back in NJ, so taking my daughter here was such a treat! The playspace is so large with so many areas to climb, slides, swings, tunnels and more. My daughter is still a little small to take advantage of a lot of this, but I could see this being a place that your child could enjoy for years without getting bored. In addition to the playspace there is also a carousel which is a nice touch. You'll need to bring single dollars if you'd like to ride it. The park is well laid out with plenty of parking and a clean public restroom. They do not allow dogs / pets. Highly recommend for some outdoor fun for the kids in Boca!

    Are there soccer fields?

    I think there are only baseball fields

    Are teenaged aged people allowed on the playground?

    I would say yes, not on carousel, on the area for the young kids.

    Is the carousal still open? Would my 15 month old have what to play with?

    The carousel is open all year unless they are doing maintenance on it.. Call to make sure 561-347-3950 There is a wonderful tot section for your 15 month old and the Science Museum indoors is lovely for babies too.

    Is this park good for a first birthday party?

    I think so, they have tables and with benches where you set up food, hang up posters, right next to the children playground. For further info here the number to call Sugar Sands: 561 347-3900

    Are there basketball courts?

    It's been awhile since I've been there but don't remember any courts. Just an amazing playground, ferris wheel and indoor science center

    Came to see the George Harrison Photo Exhibit - "George Was Here in Deerfield Beach" displaying…read morerare, unseen photos of the time George Harrison spent in Deerfield Beach. It was very well done. First time visiting this place... it's a first class facility that the community is lucky to have. Wonderful staff. Great parking.

    The Johnny L Tigner Community Center is located in the the Oveta McKeithen Recreational Complex, a…read more15 acre park with sports fields, a walking trail, gym, picnic areas, and a playground. The beautiful, state of the art, Johnny L. Tigner Community Center is a crown jewel for Deerfield Beach. It was named in honor of Johnny L. Tigner who was born in Georgia but grew up in Deerfield Beach. He was well regarded for spearheading many city initiatives including Big 3 Basketball, Family Kickball, Family Fun Day, and Women's Flag Football. He worked at many athletic events in positions as varied as selling concessions, officiating games, or operating the PA system in his distinctive voice. He especially had a heart for the youth in the community and strived to make Deerfield Beach a better place to live. Community Center amenities include a BSO sub station, ballroom, kitchen, and outdoor patio. Upstairs there is a multipurpose room, dance studio, and a production studio. The community center is available for private rentals with a discounted price for Deerfield Beach city residents. I attended an event in the ballroom that was created to benefit the Deerfield Beach Historical Society. Titled George Was Here, it was a photographic exhibit of pictures of former Beatle George Harrison and his then wife Pattie Boyd and the Beatles' assistant Mal Evans on a 10 day trip to Deerfield Beach in November of 1970. It took place after the break up of the Beatles. Harrison came to visit his aunt and uncle and he stayed at the Shore Road Inn, now known as Pier Walk. Just before the trip he put the finishing touches on his solo album, "All Things Must Pass." In 2024, 18 never-before-seen photographs of Harrison were found at a Deerfield Beach apartment building owned by his maternal uncle and aunt, Edmund and Mimi French. To protect his privacy, many locals kept the secret of Harrison's visit for over 50 years. Fun fact, Florida has another Beatles break up connection. John Lennon signed the legal papers dissolving the Beatles on December 29, 1974, while staying at the Polynesian Village Resort at Disney World in Orlando. The event was very interesting and it benefitted a great organization which strives to preserve the history of the city. I also enjoyed checking out this new community center. In addition to the photographs and historical information, there was light bites from the Deerfield Beach Historical Society, beer, wine, and soda for sale, event posters for sale, and a live band playing George Harrison's music. This was a reminder of just how much Deerfield Beach has to offer. George Was Here is for two nights only, concluding today.
