Confirmed from The Thomas A. McGillicuddy Eco-Park At Quantum Corporate 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.
What runners say about The Thomas A. McGillicuddy Eco-Park At Quantum Corporate Park
“This is my first time visiting this park, and it's absolutely beautiful!”
“This park is very quiet with very few people, a very cozy place”
A hidden gem right in the middle of boynton beach! Great walking trails for the whole family even the four legged ones! A very unique find one that needs to be kept taken care of!
Eco Park is a nature preserve in the 550 acre Quantum Corporate Park. In 2020 it was the largest undeveloped tract left in the city. It was purchased with the goal of transforming it into a residential, retail, entertainment, and industrial complex.
Great little park with a big soul and beautiful connection to nature. Definitely off the beaten path Thomas McGillicuddy would be proud to have this Park named after him. Water features, Flora, diverse wildlife, both reptile and mammal. The gopher tortoise population is robust.
A great natural area in east Boynton. Trails are essentially "game paths" and can overgrow at areas, and some paths only lead to a tortoise burrow. Lots of gopher tortoise, rabbits, and at least one little coyote.
Trail conditions & character
“This is my first time visiting this park, and it's absolutely beautiful!”
“This park is very quiet with very few people, a very cozy place”
“Beware there is a lot of sand and unfortunately there were no benches to sit down enjoy the views and take the sun in, the parking lot is big and I will certainly go back again”
“Hopefully kayak launches, picnic pavilions, restrooms, paved trails and a boardwalk will be added to increase the recreational use of the park.”
