Caloosa Park | Film-Friendly Sports and Recreation Park in Boynton Beach

Caloosa Park is a 66-acre Palm Beach County park in Boynton Beach offering a diverse collection of sports, recreation, and neighborhood settings for film, television, commercials, and photography. The park includes a 3.2-acre freshwater lake with approximately 1,850 feet of lake frontage, open green space, walking and exercise paths, a pedestrian bridge, picnic areas, and a covered group pavilion.

The park's extensive athletic facilities provide numerous production opportunities. Four lighted basketball courts, four tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, 16 racquetball and handball courts, four lighted softball fields, three multipurpose fields, and a lighted roller hockey rink create authentic settings for sports, school, neighborhood, and recreational scenes. The multipurpose fields can accommodate sports including soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, and field hockey.

Beyond the athletic facilities, Caloosa Park offers a more traditional suburban park environment with a playground, mature landscaping, open lawns, picnic areas, and a one-mile walking and bicycle path. A 1.1-mile exercise course with 20 stations provides additional opportunities for fitness and lifestyle scenes. The lake and pedestrian bridge add a visual element that distinguishes the park from a typical sports complex.

The covered Caloosa Pavilion is positioned adjacent to the lake and fishing area and includes attached restrooms, electrical and water access, covered grills, and parking. Its setting can provide a natural backdrop for family gatherings, community events, outdoor dining, reunions, and neighborhood scenes.

Scout Note:
Caloosa Park is a strong multi-look location for productions needing authentic sports and suburban recreation environments. The combination of athletic fields, numerous courts, roller hockey rink, playground, lake, pedestrian bridge, pavilion, walking paths, and open green space allows several distinct looks within one park. The mature trees are clustered and read as a small forest, freshwater lake and bridge are particularly useful for breaking up the predominantly athletic landscape with quieter establishing shots and lifestyle scenes. Lighted athletic fields and courts also create potential for evening production, subject to permitting and availability. Proximity to the Interstate 95 may interfere with sound - a location sound scout is recommended for productions with extensive dialogue. The highway ambience can also work to a production's advantage when a scene calls for authentic suburban or urban traffic noise.
