Lake Clarke Shores

Lake Clarke Shores was established in 1940, however did not officially become a town until 1957. With a rich history of pineapple farming, Lake Clarke Shores became northern Florida's link to fresh pineapples. John Clarke of Palm Beach chose 5 acres of land in Lake Clarke Shores to build his pineapple farm and packing house. Mr. Clarke, the son of a Palm Beach pioneer, was one of the few people in the area that could afford to purchase the land in Lake Clarke Shores. Located just south of the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) in south Florida, Lake Clarke Shores sits between West Palm Beach and Lake Worth. Unfortunately due to agricultural hardship and the arrival of the new railroad, Florida's pineapple farms were wiped out. When the new railroad was expanded to Key West, it became apparent that pineapples or "pinas" would be more cost effective if they were imported from Cuba.

Lake Clarke Shores has several recreational areas that are open to the public, such as the Town Hall Park and Playground, the Heart Trail, and the Pine Tree Park. If you are looking for exercising opportunities, Lake Clarke Shores offers numerous exercise stations as well as tennis courts that can be rented. Lake Clarke Shores also offers rentals of a garden club, a boat ramp, and a spacious pavilion for parties, events, and weddings. - Information courtesy of lwchamber.com.
