Palmetto Park

A Little Urban Oasis

Situated on Nathan Hale Road in a quiet West Palm Beach neighborhood, Palmetto Park offers a peaceful 2.3-acre retreat from city life. This serene area might be small, but it packs in plenty of charm for anyone looking to enjoy some fresh air and greenery. If you're driving over, you'll find some parking spots right in front of the park - not a huge lot, but enough for visitors to this neighborhood sanctuary.

What You'll Find Here

The park strikes a nice balance between open sunny spaces and shady spots under the trees. One of our favorite features is the paved loop trail that meanders through the park - well-suited for a casual morning walk, a quick jog, or just stretching your legs while enjoying the surroundings.

If you're bringing kids along, they'll love the covered playground area. It's surprisingly large for a park of this size, outshining many other nearby parks with its swings, slides, and climbing structures. The cover is a real blessing during those sunny Florida days, keeping the play equipment cooler and protecting little ones from too much sun exposure.

Need a break? Scattered benches invite you to sit and relax while taking in the natural setting. Both you and your four-legged friends can stay hydrated thanks to a water fountain that thoughtfully includes a dog bowl. Yes, your pups are welcome here as long as they're leashed!

Good to Know Before You Go

The park welcomes visitors daily from 7AM to 7PM. Just a heads up - there aren't any public restrooms or designated picnic areas here, so plan accordingly.

What stands out about Palmetto Park is how well-maintained it is. The grounds are clean and cared for, creating a pleasant environment whether you're visiting solo or with family. There's something uniquely peaceful about its location next to a cemetery, adding to the quiet atmosphere that makes this park special.

Weather Watch

One thing to keep in mind: during King Tide events, typically in fall, Palmetto Park might experience some flooding like other low-lying areas around West Palm Beach. The city keeps an eye on these seasonal high tides, but they might affect your park plans during those times of year.
