Seacrest Soccer Complex and Hilltopper Stadium

The Seacrest Soccer Complex was formerly Atlantic High School. As part of the Bond Referendum voted by the citizens in January 2004, the City was able to purchase eight acres of the land, which included a large multipurpose field, tennis courts, basketball courts and two softball fields. This was done to create a soccer facility to help relieve the scheduling stress at Miller Park.

Ocean Inlet Park

The Boynton Inlet is a surf side paradise of sun and sand. A long time spot for fishing and family play. The Boynton Inlet has a 600 ft beach, jetties for fishing, marina, a playground for the kids, a short walking path and a pavilion for the picnickers.

If you visit the inlet in the later part of the year, October, November, its a good chance you'll find fishermen pulling in lots of fish. This draw is great for the kids who like to get close to nature. If the fish aren't biting, walk over to the playground and let the kids burn off some steam.

Little League Park

Body

The park is home of the 2003 Little League National Champions, the East Boynton Beach Little League. In 2006, producers of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition heard about the park through applications to the show from people in the community. This was three months after damage occurred due to Hurricane Wilma in October 2005. It was the community spirit ABC saw in an audition that weighed heavily in the City's favor, producers said. The Boynton project, part of the show's After the Storm series on hurricane-damaged communities aired in the Spring of 2006.

Pence Park
