If you are looking for a secluded place to relax and unwind this place has it. Walking around this place there are many benches for you to sit and watch the boats go by and take a good view of the water way. Lots of trees with blooming flowers at least when I went. You can watch the boat dock or head on out to the ocean. There was a couple fishing from the deck and they actually caught something.Once again you want to relax and unwind this is the place. Also if you want to bring the kiddies there is a play ground for then to enjoy themselves.

I love the layout of the park and it is well kept by the city of Boynton Beach. I like to go a different sit to just relax in the evening, they have huge parking accommodations and on busy holidays you still can find parking. To launch your boat is a breeze as to the layout of the ramp. Overall this is a great place.Christopher Robinson

Would be a 5 star review if the city didnt change the annual launch fee from $50 to $350 and Institute mobile pay parking. Why cant us residents still get a reasonable annual decal ? Increase was way too much !!

Went kayaking yesterday. Paddle Away Sports launches from there. Kayaks and paddleboards. Great way to spend a few hours. Fresh air (no mask needed), beautiful scenery, lovely water and exercise too!! Very affordable.

A great spot to launch your boat! Run extremely well by the city of boynton beach. Your tax dollars working well.

Nice place. Bathrooms on site. Boat ramps. Park. Hectic on weekends, plus $10 fee. Boat channel gets very shallow during low tide. You can launch here and cross the intracoastal directly to the Boynton inlet to go out into the ocean.

Nice place to get out and stretch your legs if youre traveling. Walking path near canal type water. Small playground for kids to release energy and outside work out space near playground area. Great for a bag lunch picnic. Bathrooms available. Saw a guy fishing for crabs of dock. Possible alligators in the water so no swimming!

Nice place to watch boats on the intracoastal, coming in and out of the Boynton Beach Inlet. There is a boat ramp, rest rooms, and a board walk for walking and fishing.

This park is named for Harvey Eugene Oyer Jr. (March 31, 1926 - December 18, 2010). He was a businessman, civic leader, and Mayor of Boynton Beach in 1960 at the age of 34. He was known as Mr. Boynton Beach. He was directly related to area pioneers. He was the great grandson Captain Hannibal Dillingham Pierce, one of the settlers who salvaged the coconuts from the Spanish ship wreck in 1878 and when planted gave Palm Beach its name and he was the grandson of Lillie Pierce Voss, the first white child born in Florida between Jupiter and Miami. His son is a childrens author who has written books about the adventures of his fathers great uncle Charlie Pierce. Boyntons oldest insurance business bears his name in the historic downtown. In honor of Oyers military and civic accomplishment the park was named for him in 2011.This park is perfect for you are into boating and fishing. The Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park has 4 boat ramps on the Intracoastal Waterway, across from the Boynton Beach Inlet. The park also has a Coast Guard Auxiliary building, picnic area, playground, restrooms, and a large fishing pier with several decks. There is free parking for vehicles and trailers.The park is also home to the Florida Fishing Academy formed in 2006 as a non profit after school program created by a Captain Rich Brochu, a former police officer to get at risk youth out onto the water and fishing. He teaches life skills to students, encourages them to volunteer, and rewards them with a fishing trip.I enjoyed walking along the fishing piers and taking in the water view. This park can be enjoyed even if you arent fishing or boating.

6 ramps very close to inlet. Beware on a out going tide with east,south east wind can produce dangerous waves,swell.

The boat ramps are excellent. Perfect slope and great traction

Review №24

Ramp is decent. Main issue is almost 100% of the boaters leave their boats sitting in the ramp both when they launch and when they are pulling out. It definitely gets to the few of us that actually understand ramp etiquette. Its real simple...first trailer in the ramp equals first boat in or out.

Theres an injured manatee, it has a large propeller gouge on its left side. other than that the park is good joyable but that topped it off to see an injured Manatee at one of my favorite spots of enjoying nature and fishing.

I have used this launch site for 20 plus years. The city of Boynton Beach decided to get greedy. Yearly pass went from $50 to $200. Bye!!!!!!

Review №33

Excellent location directly across from the Boynton Inlet. $10 daily parking or get a sticker for $50 for the year. Ramps arent horrible but low tide you would be better off with a 4X4. Theres parking for vehicles without trailers also.Weekends can be difficult. But then again which ramp on the weekend isnt?

Glad to see the fishing docks have been repaired and again open for fishing, guess no one told the fish cause we could only catch bait fish even at incoming, slack and outgoing tides. Not even a baricuda! Maybe its better at night. Lol

It is an ok park... people definitely need to pick up their garbage though because It is littered pretty bad. It does have shade & a boat ramp for the intercoastal. Plenty of parking & play equipment for kids. It does have a restroom on site but I havent been in there.
