A neighborhood rich in history
North Tamarind has a rich past in the heart of West Palm Beach’s historically Black Northwest Downtown. Also called Coleman Park, the neighborhood began as a pineapple farm before its first residents made it home. In 1894, Black laborers working on Palm Beach Island began moving to the newly designated City of West Palm Beach on the mainland after their existing settlement burned down. It eventually became the site of the spring training for Negro league players like Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron. Though the area has seen its ups and downs, like a hurricane in the 1920s that killed thousands and the closure of the neighborhood’s Black high school in 1970, its future is bright with city and state-backed revitalization efforts. “People can see the growth in that area,” says realtor Lisa Civin of The Sheehan Agency. “The homes are pretty affordable, especially coming up from Miami, and it’s a very good place to look for future investment.”
North Tamarind residents can be seen out and about enjoying the neighborhood.

Coleman Park, former home of the greats
The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the historic Coleman Park. Though no baseball diamond exists on the grounds today, it was once a spring training site for the Negro American Baseball League called Lincoln Park. An art installation called “Field of Stories” pays homage to the park’s history with nine giant baseball sculptures made of cast concrete set into the ground at different heights. The Parks and Recreation Department has honored a community hero for several years by inscribing their name into one of the baseballs. In addition to the walking paths with cement sculptures throughout, Coleman Park has a recreation center, courts and playgrounds.
Coleman Park has been a staple in North Tamarind for many years.
