Historical Information
Galaxy Park was the original site for Little League baseball. It was City property going back into the 1950's. Galaxy School was actually built on City property that was traded with the County for other property west of city limits and in the Wilson Park area. The City owns the east side of the property and the School District of Palm Beach County owns the west side.
The park was rebuilt in the early 1970's when the Little League fields were moved to Woolbright Road and the restrooms were added. The original playground equipment was space travel themed to go hand-in-hand with the name of the school. Eventually, the themed equipment was replaced with equipment that is more modern.
The scrub on the north side of the property is owned by the School District and connects back to Barton Park.
In 1986, the City and the School District, funded lighting for the basketball court for $6,000. Bleachers are available along the ball field and ball field dugouts. Benches are also available.
The perimeter was landscaping completed in 2007 with a grant from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Trees include slash pines, magnolias and sable palms.
