The park fills the block between Palmetto Park Road on the north and Camino Real on the south, with Military Trail along its west side and the railroad along its east. Most of it is natural scrub and woods. Drive in from Military Trail or Camino Real: the Community Center, which houses the Children's Science Explorium and the Willow Theatre, sits in the southwest part of the park, with the Science Playground, splash pad and carousel just east of it and the main parking lots in between. The Field House and the roller hockey rink are near Military Trail, north of the Community Center. A park road winds north and east through the woods to a cloverleaf of four ball fields in the middle of the park and two more fields near the east side. The nature trails run through the scrub beyond the playground and behind the Community Center.
