Del Ida Park

Body

This community park is located in the historic Del Ida neighborhood in Delray Beach. Take a rest under the large shade tree or stroll around the nicely landscaped grounds. Park is best accessed on foot or by bike as there is no parking available. This would be a great pit stop while touring around by bike thru this beautiful historic neighborhood. Located on the same location is Lake Ida's "Cool Spot' which consists of a labyrinth, art, native landscaping and is lighted.

Delray Municipal Beach

Delray Oaks Natural Area

Body

Delray Oaks Natural Area on Congress Avenue in Delray Beach contains  examples of native Floridian prairie and xeric hammock ecosystems. The 25-acre site also contains a small wetland and areas of mesic flat woods. The tree canopy includes many live oak trees and sabal palms, with an understory of wild coffee, beauty berry, and saw palmetto. Oak hammocks are rare in Florida and in Palm Beach County due to urban development. The oak hammock community only develops in areas where fires have not occurred for at least 30 years.

Family Recreation Fitness Center

Body

This odd BRAND NEW park is a sign of our economic times. The City of Delray Beach purchased the property and started clearing it during the "boom" times. Now that the money has run out, the only thing on property is the handicap accessible SHADED playground equipment. The grand plan involves building a large recreation center to serve western Delray residents but construction is on hold indefinitely. So, you have a children's playground right next to the pre-existing Senior Center. Incongruous but a new playground none-the-less.
