Foxtail Palm Park

About

A community park with a walking trail that loops around a small lake, plus a playground with low swings that make it accessible for younger kids. The whole area stays shaded, which is perfect for Florida heat. Good for toddlers and elementary-aged kids who want to combine playground time with a nature walk. The park is small with limited parking and no restrooms, so plan accordingly. Your kid can feed ducks at the lake after playing on the equipment.

Back in the 1957 Florida Legislative Session, State Representative Ralph Blank, Jr. of Palm Beach County introduced a bill to charter the Village of Palm Springs in the middle of Florida's second land boom.The bill was passed unanimously with little questions asked.Should his colleagues have bothered to ask of the proposed new city's assets, Blank would have had to explain that it consisted merely of 700 acres of fine pastureland, a large, but modern, dairy barn, and population totaling zero… in humans that is.However, by August 1958, when the first section opened, some 800 modern homes had been constructed on high ground, neatly landscaped and paved streets with sidewalks
