Edward F. Harmening Arbor Memorial Park

The Edward F. Hamening Arbor Memorial Park is located in front of the East Water Treatment Plant in Boynton Beach at the corner of Seacrest Boulevard and Woolbright Road. Arbor Park was renamed in honor of Edward F. Harmening,, a longtime mayor over 3 decades and community leader of Boynton Beach. He ran for office six times and never lost an election. Mr. Harmening passed away in 1995 from ALS.

Edward F. Hamening Arbor Memorial Park is a passive park, There is a paved walkway and native trees planted in honor of prominent Boynton Beach residents. There are also benches which are mainly used by people waiting to catch the bus. The other prominent feature of the park is the large public art piece, Water, You, and I that was created to educate people on where their drinking water comes from. The art piece can be found on the side of the park where it sits adjacent to the East Water Treatment Plant.

The park is mainly used by people passing through but I like how the city transformed a nondescript corner into a green space with memorials and art.

It's like they didn't know what to do with the space so they planted some trees made a winding path and placed a plaque.
It's more like a place to pee while waiting for the bus.

Two benches. Two trash cans. Nice trees and grass. Great view of 7- 11, Shell gas station, and Kwick Stop.
