1. DuBois Park

Nestled at the mouth of the inlet, DuBois Park provides a relaxed atmosphere where families can swim in a calm lagoon, snorkel near the inlet, or enjoy a picnic on the grassy area. The park’s unique setting blends beachfront appeal with access to the waterway.
Why you’ll like it: Quiet, scenic and ideal for younger kids.
Tip: Bring your snorkel—visibility in the lagoon area can be excellent.

2. Carlin Park

Carlin Park offers both beach and recreational amenities. You’ll find walking paths (including the “Heart Trail” with fitness stations), picnic shelters, and an amphitheater alongside sandy shores.
Why you’ll like it: A good mix of active and relaxing features.
Tip: For a morning visit, go early—the fitness trail is shaded and peaceful before the crowd.

3. Jupiter Beach Park

At the entrance to the inlet, Jupiter Beach Park stands out for its surf-ready waves, fishing jetty, and even shark-tooth hunting on the shoreline. The beach frontage and water variety make it a strong contender for a full-day outing.
Why you’ll like it: Big beach, big variety, major coastal energy.
Tip: Come at low tide if you want to try hunting for shark teeth—they’re more exposed and easier to spot then.

4. Riverbend Park

If you want a nature-rich experience away from the beach, Riverbend Park is the place. Over several hundred acres it hosts hiking/biking trails, equestrian paths, and canoe/kayak access along the wild and scenic Loxahatchee River.
Why you’ll like it: Quiet, green, and ideal for immersing in Florida’s more natural side.
Tip: Bring insect repellent and plan for extra time—you’ll want to linger on the trails.

5. Jupiter Village Park

This smaller, community-oriented park may not have beachfront views, but it delivers with sports fields (including four softball/baseball fields), a playground, restrooms and parking.
Why you’ll like it: Great for an active afternoon with kids or a casual game of catch.
Tip: Weekday afternoons tend to be quieter; weekends can be busy with league games.
