Deerfield Island Park is a feast for eyes and ears!
 A peaceful and tranquil strip of land just north of Deerfield Beach and south of Boca Raton, Deerfield Island Park is a 56-acre nature-oriented park that offers passive outdoor recreational opportunities and environmental education for everyone. Not only is Deerfield Island Park home to as many as 100 plus bird species, it also serves as home to the endangered gopher tortoise and many other animals and plants..
Our Mission is to:
- Advocate and support this green "urban wilderness"
- Encourage volunteerism
- Support and protect this gopher tortoise refuge
- Raise funds and obtain grants
- Ensure the park remains an important community, school and family resource.
