DYER PARK TRAILS & PATHS
BIKING, SKATING, WALKING, RUNNING AND EQUESTRIAN
Photos Of Paved & Unpaved Paths At Dyer Park In West Palm Beach, Florida

Dyer County Park
7301 Haverhill Road
West Palm Beach, FL (West Riviera Beach Area)
(561) 966-6600

Directions:  I-95 to Blue Heron Blvd.  Head west on Blue Heron towards the big pink VA Hospital.  When you reach the hospital, Blue Heron ends at the Bee Line.  Turn right on the Bee Line (north) to the first stoplight (Haverhill Road).  Turn left onto Haverhill Road, then make an immediate right into Dyer Park.  Drive to the very back of the Park and park near the soccer fields. 

Fees: There is no admission charge.

  Dyer Park is built atop an old trash dump.  It features four miles of wide paved paths and a flat, five mile unpaved loop trail around the Park's perimeter.  It also features dirt trails cut into the side of “Mount Trashmore." Mountain bikers like these trails for physical conditioning.
  Almost 6 million dollars were spent turning Dyer Park from a 400 acre dump into a park.  12,000 native trees were relocated there.   Lakes, ball fields, picnic shelters, restroom facilities, an equestrian trail and a model airplane airfield were added to create what is now a very nice place.  
  It's interesting to note that some of the pavement actually contains broken bits of glass.  I assume this is recycled material from the nearby recycling center used as aggregate for the asphalt.  The glass is especially noticeable if you have polarized sunglasses!
  Note: The facilities are fairly new and generally very nice.  There are signs warning visitors to secure their valuables.  I have seen plenty of police and park workers there during the day. Police say the park is as safe.  There are also signs warning that alligators can be found in the lakes.

Note: This page contains several photographs.  It will take extra time to load, especially if you are using a dial-up connection.

The Dyer Park sign greets you as you enter.   It is not easily seen as you turn onto Haverhill from the Bee Line (in other words it's easy to miss the park entrance.)



Dyer Park Facilities - Copyrighted
There are three sets of clean restrooms with drinking fountains in Dyer Park.   Picnic shelters and ball fields are available only with reservations.  A trail map is located near the drinking fountains on the easternmost restroom building (the building shown above.)

The large pink Veterans Administration Medical Center is easily seen to the southeast.  Dyer Park's main entrance road is seen in the right hand side of the photograph.  The speed limit is 20 mph and easy to break if you're not paying attention.

Lakes surround the hills of the former landfill.  Watch out for alligators.


Dyer Park Picnic Area - Copyright
There are two wide paved paths that circle the hills of Dyer Park.  These trails are in very good condition.  Note picnic tables and charcoal barbecues.  Also note broken glass chips are used to create the path asphalt.  The glass doesn't hurt bike tires.

This is the mountain bike hill located on Dyer Park's west side.  The paved path takes you to the top.  Single track dirt trails are cut into the side of the hill.

The trails wind their way up and down all sides of the hill.  They make for an excellent work out.  The paths are generally well maintained but can become damaged during heavy rain storms.  The trails are maintained by volunteers from the Palm Beach Mountain Bike Association.
