This park used to be named Royal Palm Park. It had its named changed in 1990 to honor George Petty, a Palm Beach resident and Canadian paper magnate. Some residents werent too happy to have a park named after someone they considered an outsider. Petty used $750,000 of his money to start the Good Neighbor Council, a group that focused on fighting noise from the airport. The park is a strip of land in the historic 1920s Prospect Park neighborhood that runs from Washington Ave to the Intracoastal. This park used to sit directly under the flight path of planes traveling to and from West Palm Beach Airport. As a result take offs and landings were fanned over the city instead of concentrated over this one neighborhood.This park does not have a parking lot, you have to park on the street, It does have a small playground and benches but its best amenity is the view of the Intracoastal. You can see Mar-a-Lago is across from the park along with other Palm Beach mansions. The houses in this neighborhood arent too shabby either. The neighborhood is a cool place to admire 1920s architecture and the park gives a great view of the water.

Only playground to that is directly on the intracoastal waterway with water access on the south end the City of West Palm Beach.

No swimming but nice park. Side street parking only.

Nice and quiet. Great for an early morning coffee and listen to the waves of the intracoastal.

My grandsons enjoy the swings, slides and climbing frame set uder the palms and ficus trees by the intracoastal waterway.

Never crowded and you can get a beautiful view of the Intracoastal.

This is that little hideaway park you can take a date to for a good talk

Small, local park with views of the intercostal waterway. Kids had a great time playing here, nice location, good spot for families, picnics, etc. Saw a neighboring house with a rare Stutz Blackhawk!

Nice place

Very pleasant area in a beautiful neighborhood. We were surprised by the very small strip of beach at the Intracoastal area of the park. There are 2 picnic tables. Recommended for family and individual outings.

Nice little park along the Intracoastal north of the Southern Bridge to PBI. Park has a playground, picnic tables, benches and shaded areas as well as little beach area.

Nice Park. Relaxing, clean, by the water

Lots of trash; old kfc, beer cans, dead birds, enema, condom envelopes. If only the city would pick up twice a wk and not just mow.
