Okeeheelee Playground

Okeeheelee Playground is the park's main sand-surface family play area, with separate play structures listed for ages 2-5 and 5-12, shade trees, nearby picnic space, and activity-area parking and restrooms. Navigate to the exact Okeeheelee Playground pin rather than the general Okeeheelee Park marker. Use the exact playground pin and the April 2026 county map instead of stopping at the first Okeeheelee entrance. The play surface is sand, the age ranges are separated by equipment, and South Florida heat, heavy rain, and lightning can make a short visit the safer plan. Bring water and supervise closely around parking aisles, shared paths, and nearby lakes.

The April 2026 county map shows parking beside the playground activity area. Navigate to the exact playground pin from Forest Hill Boulevard, then use the closest legal space and follow current signs because Okeeheelee has many distributed lots and two major park sections.

The playground follows Okeeheelee Park's daily sunrise-to-sunset schedule. It is not one of the lighted athletic facilities that may remain open later, and weather, maintenance, construction, or a permitted event can temporarily affect access.

The county map marks restrooms in the same central activity district as the playground. Use the mapped facility before play and check posted status on arrival because maintenance, pavilion work, or an event can close an individual building without closing the whole park.

General playground use and ordinary park access are free. Reserved pavilions, organized programs, rentals, concessions, and special events can require separate fees or permits.

The official ADA map shows accessible parking, restrooms, and paved circulation near this play area. The playground itself has a sand surface, and the county page does not promise that every structure is transfer-accessible; visitors who need a firm route or specific play feature should confirm current conditions with Palm Beach County Parks.

Pooch Pines is Okeeheelee's designated off-leash area. Keep dogs controlled outside that enclosure and away from active play equipment, food, children who do not know the dog, and lake edges; follow posted park pet rules for the visit.

The county lists separate structures for ages 2-5 and 5-12. Choose the age-appropriate section, expect sand underfoot, bring water and sun protection, and supervise continuously because the broader activity area includes roads, paths, picnic use, and nearby water.
