Mainlands Park opened in 2014 in Tamarac to remedy the issue of lack of parks on the east side of…read morethe city. The 23-acre city park was named for Mainlands, a 55 and up community consisting of 529 homes that was established in 1968. The park is in the section 3 and 4 subdivision. The land for the park was once part of the Monterey Golf Club. The main draw to the park is for people looking to exercise. Walking and jogging trails run along the perimeter and there are fitness stations at different intervals. There is also a covered outdoor gym with fitness equipment. Other park amenities include a restroom, non motorized boat launch, fishing pier/observation platform, covered picnic tables, drinking fountains, and public art benches. My favorite park was the discovery of burrowing owls. Burrowing owls are considered endangered, threatened or of special concern in nine U.S. states. Unlike other owls they are not strictly nocturnal and are active during the day. They make their nests in underground burrows, which are dug out by ground squirrels and they prefer open grasslands. Burrowing owls are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act so you have to leave them alone. It was a treat to see so many owls in the park before leaving them in peace.

This is a new park for the city of Tamarac, having opened just a few weeks ago…read more While it looks pretty nondescript upon arriving at the small parking lot, it really has a lot to offer. Something that needs to be taken into consideration, however, is that it's in the middle of a 55+ community, so it's not like other public parks. That being said, it does have some nice features, especially for our older population. It's a 23 acre park, making it a nice size without being too large to walk around easily. There is also wifi access. It is dog friendly, but they must be leashed. You can circumnavigate the park either on foot or by bike, using the wide, concrete path that is big enough for two bikes side by side. It's sprinkled with covered picnic tables, covered benches and water fountains. There is an exercise route that can be followed. Some of the stops have just one piece of equipment, while others have more. Each one is carefully labeled as to how to safely use the equipment. This a a nice change from having equipment and not telling people how to use it correctly. There is also a special workout station for wheelchair users! At one end of the loop, which seems to be about a mile in length, there is a small fishing "pier", giving access to the canal. In the center of the park is a nice little pond for scenic appeal. Personally, I think they should add a couple of nice pavilions with electricity and BBQ grills for bigger groups. There's plenty of room. Also the picnic tables have such a small cover that if it really rains, (Go Florida!), there is better access to places to stay dry. I know that some of us in the "seniors" age range can't scamper fast enough it we get a sudden cloudburst. My other observation is that it would be nice to have a small playground for residents who have grandchildren visiting. Overall, this is a well designed little park and an asset to the community.

I love Broward Mall! I've been coming here for over 20 years, and it's changed quite a bit over…read morethat time. One of the biggest improvements was the addition of the movie theater, and the interior has been renovated to feel much more modern, bright, and clean. Many of the longtime anchor stores are still here, although some of the smaller boutique shops have come and gone over the years. I also appreciate that there are now a couple of kid-friendly attractions, including a children's museum and an indoor play center. They're great additions for families and are very reasonably priced. The parking lot is large, with multiple entrances around the property, so it's easy to access the mall from just about any direction. There is still some construction in one section of the parking lot that seems like it's been there for quite a while. I haven't seen much activity recently, so I'm not sure if the project is still ongoing. Fortunately, it's limited to one area and doesn't really affect the overall shopping experience. The mall itself is a nice size. It's not overwhelmingly large, but it's definitely not small either. Everything is indoors, making it a great place to shop, walk around, or spend a few hours, especially during Florida's hot or rainy weather. Overall, Broward Mall has done a great job modernizing while keeping many of the stores and features that have made it a local favorite for years.

During the weekdays there rarely many children playing. Weekends are obviously more crowded but fun for the kids as long as the guardians are supervising their own little ones.

This is a great FREE indoor space for those Plantation days when the weather is not great outside.

I went on Saturday night and it was a $15 flat rate. I will note there is only one entrance and one exit, so traffic can get backed up in there. Also, most parking spots are for compact cars so it can really be a tight squeeze and risky for someone not to hit your car with their car door, etc. Also, on one of the sides of the garage, they have a yellow line that they will ticket you if your car crosses it. Most people just park there anyways but I am always too scared to risk it. There's stairs to bring you down/outside and an elevator as well to bring you up/down.

The Express Airport Inn, with a reservation through Global Airport Parking, was the most convenient and economical place for us to park our car for our recent 20-day vacation, flying out of the RIC airport. Pros: *As with all Global Airport Parking reservations, long-term parking at the motel does NOT require a hotel stay. *This hotel was by far the least expensive option for parking near the airport. Our total cost was $90.95, including taxes and fess. This does NOT include transportation to the airport. (see below). *Check-in was easy, and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. *Parking was plentiful in an outdoor lot. *We found our car in the same condition as we had left it. Cons: *We selected a hotel that does not offer a shuttle to the airport so you need to call a ride-sharing service or taxi (which increases the cost and adds some uncertainty about the time required to get over to the airport). We took Uber TO the airport at a cost of $15.44, including tip, and it took about 15 minutes for the Uber to come. Upon our return, we took a taxi (after a red eye flight and temperatures near freezing). The driver informed us that all trips within four miles are a flat fee of $18 (plus tip). Even with the added uber and taxi fees, this was still the lowest-priced option. It worked out to about $6.32 per day. *Most of the parking spaces were uncovered. We returned to a car that was snow-covered. *It's not clear whether security monitors the lot. We would park here again, through Global Airport Parking.

In the end, nobody came to get us and we had to Uber to our car. That cost an extra $40, which Global alleged they would pay us back. Overall, this company is a joke. No one could tell me where the shuttle was. They were patronizing and condescending. All they kept on saying is that they understand my frustration. I want them to try herding three children and two luggage bags through Fort Lauderdale Everglades Port, looking for an unmarked Van after they told me to hold up a yellow sticker that they never gave me. These guys are total clowns. Pay $8 more a day, save yourself 2 hours and park anywhere else. Such losers.
