Historical Information
Kids Kingdom Playground is located between City Hall and the Civic Center adjacent to the 1913 Schoolhouse Children's Museum. The 20,000 square foot multi-level playarea, made of wood and recycled plastic, was a community built project with over 1,800 volunteers participating from start to completion.
The project was spearheaded by local activist, Mike Fitzpatrick, through the Recreation and Parks Board. The School District of Palm Beach County originally owned the property. When the School Board vacated the old high school (used after 1949 as an elementary school until it, too, was vacated in the early 1990's), the property and the buildings were given to the City. The project took two years to complete, and the park opened in April 1996. Minor renovations and repairs were done in late 1999 after a fire.
