Overview

Located on an island bordered by the Royal Palm Waterway, Hillsboro Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway, this "urban wilderness area" features an 8.5-acre mangrove swamp filled with wildlife and two nature trails, the Coquina and the Mangrove Trail. Self-guided trail maps are available at the Deerfield Island Park's office. The park can only be accessed by boat, but the Park Department provides free boat service to and from the island. Boats depart from and return to the Sullivan Park floating boat dock, located along Riverview Road and Hillsboro Boulevard. Opens daily at 8am.

I was disappointed when I drove all the way out there, and found out that the boat that takes you to the park only runs on Wednesdays and Sundays. I was told by a local that it's a nice place and that people like to stay all day and picnic, but I don't know. If you want to go, make sure you go on a Sunday or a Wednesday.

This park is great for kids and adults alike. It offers two nature trails that has a map and you can actually know what you are looking at. The park also offers a playground for the kids as well as shelters. It does not have a beach but you can have lots of fun there!
