This is the park for racquet sports in Boynton Beach with a ton of lights for racquetball, 4 tennis courts and 8 pickle ball courts.
All are lit for night play up until 9pm. The courts are busy but rarely full so you can typically walk on without a wait at either of the venues depending on the time of day you play.
The tennis courts have nice high fences and windscreens and do allow tennis lessons. The courts are first come first serve and allow for one hour of play.
The highway noise from 95 is omni present so it can be a bit loud with the constant humming but not overwhelming. It is also next to the train tracks.
The pickle ball courts are short walk down the pathway and were installed in an old hockey rink. There are 6 courts inside the rink and two on the outside.
The level at pickleball courts is very beginner. If you are a new player this is a good launch pad.
The challenge is since there are so many neophyte players there is no etiquette or rack system. They have racks for “next up” but they aren’t used unless they have over flow.
I would recommend a few private pickleball lessons to start if you are shy.
The recently took down the rink walls and added a chain link fence so you can have easy access from both sides of the venue. The pickle ball courts get busy.
Bring friends pick up a game and meet new friends. Naturally its first come first serve and with lights that...
Read moreThis park was a really nice find. I was in the area having visited nearby Seacrest Natural Area and I was looking for a place to continue walking and getting exercise. At first I thought it was just athletic fields and they do have a lot of those. There are four basketball courts, three multi purpose fields, eight lighted pickle ball courts, 16 racquetball/ handball courts, four softball fields, four tennis courts, and a roller hockey rink. It's a sports lover paradise.
The real gem for me however was the 1.1 mile walking trail in the back of the park. It has 20 exercise stations along it. It runs parallel to the railroad tracks and a bike trail and under the power lines that I could hear humming above me. The trail loops around a lovely three acre lake filled with birds and stocked with fish for fishing.
Other park amenities include a picnic pavilion and a playground. I saw several families having a cook out during my visit. The idyllic setting is great for walking, running, biking, or playing any one of the myriad of sports the...
Read moreBeautiful Park with tennis courts, outdoor racquetball courts and 8 pickleball courts. All the facilities are well-maintained.
You can play pick up pickleball almost every morning, from about 8:30 a.m. till 11:30 a.m.. No partner needed. Place your paddle on the ground on top of the numbers. You will be paired with three other game players. When your number is up you will get the next open court. You play one game, if others are waiting. If you already have a group of four, put all four paddles on the same number to play together. Only negative is there are no wind shields and it does get windy on the courts. There are spectator bleachers outside the courts. The courts are inside a skating rink.
There are walking concrete sidewalks as well as a path with wood chips. I assume you can walk, run or bike on this path. Along the path are outdoor...
