Long Description:This newly renovated 14.65 acre beach facility is located on Blue
Heron Boulevard in the city of Riviera Beach in close proximity to
the Lake Worth Inlet, the Port of Palm Beach and Peanut Island. The
park provides numerous recreational opportunities for visitors with
emphasis on boater access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic
Ocean.
A large pier and two smaller fishing platforms offer anglers the
chance to test their saltwater skills in the beautiful waters of
the lagoon. A guarded swimming beach provides the perfect access
for bathers of all ages to enjoy the sun and fun. A nearby
playground facility is sure to delight children ages 5-12. A
special highlight of the park is four picnic shelters which
overlook the surrounding waterway.
There's no better place to watch the sunset over the Intracoastal!
Whether you are taking a casual stroll on the scenic waterfront
promenade or participating in a more vigorous recreational pursuit,
Phil Foster Park has something to offer everyone!
