Pioneer Canal Park is TRULY a neighborhood park. Take Boynton Beach Blvd just west of I-95 and at "Wendy's" turn right up NW 7th Street. When 7th is about to end, turn left (west) onto 13th and the park is right there. It runs along a canal and has a great playground. Located on the C-16 canal that runs east to west, the park provides boaters fresh water access to the E-4 canal that runs north to south and access to Lake Osborne to the north and Lake Ida to the south.

The Rosemary Scrub Area is just north of Gateway Blvd on the west side of Seacrest in Boynton Beach. This passive recreation area is great for bird watching, photography and educational purposes. This scrub area is open from sunrise to sunset. Rosemary Scrub is one of the few remaining examples of the Florida Scrub Ecosystem left in Palm Beach County. The site contains sand pine scrub, scrubby pine flatwoods and mesic hammock communities.

This scrub area is just south of the Bethesda Hospital and the Seacrest/Woolbright intersection in Boynton Beach. It spans the area between Seacrest and Dixie across from St. Joseph's private school. This Palm Beach County controlled area has NO restrooms but ample parking.  Be sure to bring plenty of drinking water as there are no water fountains at this site.  Bike racks are available.  The train tracks are nearby and occaisionally a passing train can be heard in the background.

There are 2 playgrounds at Wilson Park. One is for the younger kids (with swings and a safer version of a see saw) and the other is more for school age children. This park and recreation center are right behind Poinciana Elementary school so a lot of the parents and children make this their spot for afterschool play time. There are showers, changing rooms, and restrooms. The afterschool programs and summer camp are held at the Sims recreation center. Kids will enjoy slides and water buckets to splash and play. The outdoor pool is heated.
