Confirmed from Dreher Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling, clean and quiet park featuring an animal park as well as playground, dog park and disc golf facilities.
What runners say about Dreher Park
“But over all, it is well maintained and inviting compared to other parks around the area.”
“This is one big park in West Palm Beach with beautiful trees, open spaces, ponds, covered picnic area, outdoor grill, great water fountain at entrance.”
“The shade is tremendous, it has a dog park with lots of shade, pavilions and an exercise part.”
This is a great park for family gatherings! Only issue is lately the dog walkers have been allowing dogs to poop on the sidewalk. There is a designated area for walking your dog. If you can clean it, don't take your dog there and respect others around you.
Lovely place to walk dogs and see a slice of nature in the city. Lots of birds, turtles, and banyan trees.i do wish there were more trees being planted to provide more shade and peace. But over all, it is well maintained and inviting compared to other parks around the area.
Really nice park off of 95. Has dog parks and wide walking trails. There’s bathrooms and dog water bowls. Never very packed. Multiple parking lots. Areas for parties and bbqs.
A pleasant spot with over 3 paved trail miles for running walking. Diverse birds offer emotional support.
