Back to School doesn’t mean you can’t get out and enjoy the parks that Palmetto Bay has to offer! While the rest of the country is transitioning into the fall season, we can still enjoy the summer weather. The parks in Palmetto Bay have much to offer…
Coral Reef Park: Situated on more than 50 acres, the park is located in the heart of the Village.
