Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park - Boynton BeachRob Rosa: Love the boat and kayak ramps. Plenty of beautiful views and some wildlife too. Would like to relax here and maybe do a little fishing.
Jaycee Park - Boynton BeachCisco: Awesome local/ small park. Must stop by and see. Spectacular tree trunks and roots! Loved it!
Boynton Lakes Park - Boynton BeachOscar Vilchez: Beautiful Park with a clean play ground that has turf grass which is so much better than mulch or rubber particles. The playground equipment is really nice and adequately sized for smaller children 2 and under which is great for our little one, as well as 2 and up. Has a track/walking path with a large grass area in the center.
Delray Beach Historical Society - Delray BeachGeoff Braboy: Can’t say enough great things about the DBHS! The entire team is immensely knowledgeable and helpful for all things historical in Delray Beach. Whether visiting for the archives, which provide extensive information on local historical sites and structures, or for one of their rotating historical exhibits, make a point to stop in and see what the Historical Society has to offer. Their annual Twilight in the Garden event is outstanding and not to be missed. Winnie, Connie, Tom, Kayleigh and team are fantastic.
Spady Cultural Heritage Museum - Delray BeachAlene Model: This museum is a gem! I am a member of NYSUT RC 43, which consists of retired teachers from NY who live full or part-time in FL. We learned so much from our tour. Charlene, the daughter of Vera Rolle Farrington, who was the brainchild of the museum, initiated our visit with information about the founding of the museum and the programs that they offer to the children in the neighborhood. Fabiola continued with her talk about the current exhibition, this area of Delray Beach, and the history of Black and Indigenous communities in FL and in the US. After watching a video about a controversial time in Delrays history, we concluded our tour with Edward who spoke eloquently and passionately about Delrays history and that of the US. It was time well spent. It was not only educational, but it was also very enjoyable. (Parking is readily available next to the museum.)
Bench by the water - Delray BeachJennifer Broke: This is a great bench, sturdy and well-made. A wonderful spot to sit and ponder... The view is spectacular, the lizard is friendly... just be careful of the squirrel, hes a little squirrely.
Anchor Park - Delray BeachBruce K.: I spent a decent amount of time here at Anchor Park as it was the only spot that I could find a parking space along Delray Beach. It has entrances on A1A (look for the anchor) and from Gleason Street.
In addition to the larger parking area, there are picnic tables, a nice covered playground and a cinderblock restroom building. The parking lot is nicely shaded so maybe you wont have your car melted after you spend a day in the sun yourself.
Atlantic Dunes Park - Delray BeachMichael Bellomo: Atlantic Dunes Park is a perfect beach to keep away from the crowds. Small paid parking lot across the street and fills up quickly on weekends. Restrooms and shady area next to beach entrance. Lifeguard station beach with umbrella and chair rentals. Staff on week and weekends cleaning the area.
Delray Beach Ghost Tours - Delray Beachraskel: You will never get to know the history of Delray if you miss out on this extremely informative tour that gives you the understanding of why ghosts would decide to stay and connect with the living instead of moving on. The guide and the assistant were professional, intelligent and friendly. Worth the money.
Lake Ida East Park - Delray BeachBruce K.: Lake Ida East Park is operated by Palm Beach County and is a peninsula that extends from the south shore of the lake to the north. It is 20 acres in size making it one of the larger parks in Delray. Note that its quite deep into the residential neighborhood so be respectful of the neighborhood as you come and go.
While the park does not have a boat launch (see Lakeview Park to the east), there are launches for canoes and kayaks. Fishing is allowed here with a permit.
There are a number of picnic areas with barbecue grills, a picnic pavilion that can be reserved through the county and a nearby playground with restroom facilities.
This park shares the parking lot with the Delray Beach Playhouse. On a warmer morning, it was nice to be near the water. On a hot day, its got to be fabulous.
