APOXEE PARK
Location: Take Okeechobee Blvd. to Jog Road, go north on Jog Rd. less than 1 mile. Look for park entrance signs on the left (west) side of Jog Road.

Apoxee (pronounced 'Ah-po-ee') is the first of the City of West Palm Beach's urban wilderness parks. Apoxee, which means "Beyond Tomorrow" in the Miccosukee language, represents one of a series of planned parks within the region's urban wilderness parks system, set aside for preservation and public enjoyment. Particularly unique to Apoxee are the plans to use its wetlands to provide a new water supply (maximum 10 million gallons per day) in order to achieve both urban and environmental water sustainability!

The City of West Palm Beach would like to thank the following agencies who contributed to the completion of the park: Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Greenways & Trails; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Region 4); Florida Communities Trust; Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management; and the South Florida Water Management District.

Join Grassy Waters Preserve's Interpretive Guides for a spring hike through an accessible, shady hammock. Programs and exhibits will include information about invasive exotic plants, beneficial native wildlife plants, threatened bromeliads, and plans to recover water through Apoxee's wetlands system.
