Confirmed from Sugar Sand 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.
132-acre park with a children's science center, performing-arts theater, gym & nature trails.
What runners say about Sugar Sand Park
“Parking is convenient, and the park is very clean and well-maintained.”
“Stunning playground for kids all ages.”
“The trails are great if you're in the mood for a peaceful walk or jog, and the carousel is just plain fun.”
“There’s something for kids of all ages, from fantastic play areas to two whole spaces dedicated to exploring science.”
This park is great to spend a couple of hours here without spending much or any money. The playground is huge with lots of levels and varying age appropriate areas. The carousel is for everyone and it’s 1$ per person if you get a token from the machines close by.
What a wonderful surprise! We're staying in a nearby Marriott and wanted to go for a walk. We foun this park, and have fallen in love! Such cute child/family friendly activities, and over 130 acres! Well kept and designed. A wonderful escape to nature.
Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton is such a gem! I took the family there, and we all had a blast. The playground is massive, with something for every age group, and the splash pad was a lifesaver in the heat.
Beautiful park! Kids always have a blast. So much for them to do and keep them entertained for hours. + the indoor museum is fantastic along with the private spaces you can rent. We just did an outside movie night, where we set up a big screen, movie theater, popcorn, machine, candy section and blow up chairs for 60.
