Deerfield Island Park

Deerfield Island Park is located on Deerfield Island in Deerfield Beach, Florida and is only accessible by boat from Sullivan Park dock. This 53.3 acre park offers recreational activities and environmental education for visitors and is bordered by the Intercoastal Waterway and the Hillsboro and Royal Palm canals. A boat shuttle service is available on the hour from 10am to 3pm at weekends only with the last boat returning to the mainland at 4.30pm.

Visitors to the park can hike the Coquina Trail, which is about half a mile long and features an observation platform overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway. A nice walk also takes visitors on the Mangrove Trail where there is a boardwalk leading through a mangrove swamp. Various tours are provided for anyone six years and older such as the bird walk and a history tour.

Fishing is allowed in designated areas of the island and for any non profit groups wishing to stay overnight there is a primitive camping area. Small gatherings can be held at the picnic shelter, which can accommodate up to 40 guests and has tables, grills, water, electricity, horseshoe pits and a volleyball area. There are also uncovered picnic areas on the island as well as a small shaded playground.
