PARK HISTORY

John Prince was a member of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for 18 years. In the 1930s and 1940s, thanks to his efforts, developers and the State donated more than 1,000 acres in Lake Worth for a community park. The park was named in his memory after his death in 1952, and it is believed to be the second oldest County-operated park in Florida. Source: Our Century, Palm Beach Post
