West Delray Regional Park to be Dedicated on October 19

Palm Beach County’s western community is about to have a convenient new 313-acre passive park to enjoy—

County officials will dedicate the new West Delray Regional Park on Friday, October 19, at 9:00 am. Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson will be on hand to welcome area residents to the new County park, joined by Representative Richard A. Machek.

Palm Beach County partnered with the South Florida Water Management District, who owns the property, to make the County park available through a lease agreement. Also instrumental in their support for developing the new facility: the Delray Alliance of Residential Associations, the West Boca Community Council, and the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations.

Representatives of the Gold Coast Archers will demonstrate their skills following the dedication ceremony. An archery range was included in the development of the park, as well as a remote control airplane field where members of the Palm Beach Radio Control Association will display their planes, as well as their flying skills.

The Palm Beach RC Power Boaters will be set up on a lake adjacent to the airplane field operating their remote control boats. The new park also includes picnic tables with grills, a walking trail, and a canoe/kayak launching area, as well as an area for primitive group camping.

West Delray Regional Park is located off Atlantic Avenue west of US Highway 441 at 10875 Atlantic Avenue west of Delray Beach.
