The area includes hiking trails and a nature trail.[1] The park includes a multi-level observation tower that provides an overlook of the park as well as a 14-foot Barefoot Mailman statue..[2] The name Hypoluxo comes from the Seminole name for what is now known as Lake Worth, roughly translated as "water all 'round—no get out".
