Many towns have an Apex Park because it’s a project or initiative that local Apex Clubs have undertaken as part of their community service work. This often involves the development of recreational areas and playgrounds that provide spaces for families and children to enjoy. So, while “apex” means the top or highest point—like a peak—these parks are more about the community spirit and contributions from the Apex Clubs than any specific meaning of the word itself.
