“WEST DELRAY REGIONAL PARK” IS NEW NAME OF 314-ACRE

More than a year and a half ago, the County approved a lease agreement with the South Florida Water Management District to use portions of the former Palm Beach Downs property to create new recreational facilities for park purposes and improvements are now nearly complete. Three South County homeowner associations were instrumental, including the West Boca Community Council, the Alliance of Delray and the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Association. Included are lake frontage, a non-motorized canoe/kayak launching area, freshwater fishing, hiking/nature trail, mountain bike area, single table picnic areas with grills, modular toilets and parking. Permits are needed for use of the primitive camping area, archery, remote control airplane field, and boat lake. For general park information call 561-966-6600.
