Kester Park

Sports Facilities

Located in the historic Old Pompano neighborhood, this 8.4-acre park provides a nice escape from city life right in the heart of the community.

Kester Park has been renovated recently as part of a city-wide improvement project. The park features two dedicated baseball/softball fields with visitor dugouts, bleachers with shade structures (because Florida sun is no joke), and sports lighting for evening games.

The athletic facilities don't stop there. You'll come across a new fenced-in outfield, a batting cage for practice sessions, and two scoreboards keeping track of all the action. These upgrades have made Kester popular for youth baseball programs and community tournaments. The fields are generally well-maintained, though the infield areas might occasionally need some attention.

Recreation Amenities

Beyond organized sports, Kester Park has several other recreational options. Fitness fans can take advantage of the half-mile paved walking/jogging track that loops around the park - well-suited for getting those steps in while enjoying some fresh air.

For families, there's an updated playground area with equipment for children. Little ones particularly love the slides of varying heights, especially the notably tall one that seems to be a favorite among the brave youngsters. There's partial shade coverage too, making playground time more comfortable on sunny days. For the volleyball enthusiasts, a sand volleyball court awaits your next friendly match.

For more relaxed activities, the park has grills and benches that serve as nice picnic spots. The grounds are typically clean and well-maintained, good for spreading out a blanket and spending a relaxing afternoon outdoors.

Community Space

Need a spot for your next family reunion or community event? The park features rentable pavilion shelters complete with picnic tables that provide ample shade and seating for larger gatherings.

Kester Park checks all the boxes for visitor comfort with its clean restroom facilities and full ADA accessibility. The security presence helps ensure everyone feels safe while enjoying the space.

The park serves the neighborhood with both active recreation and quiet relaxation areas. Located within a residential area, it's a convenient green space for locals, many of whom bike over from nearby homes. While it might be somewhat hidden with limited parking options, the quality facilities draw people from all across Pompano Beach who are willing to seek out this communal area.
