A small park in Hollywood, across the tracks from Yellow Green Farmers Market…read more I stumbled (or my fingers did on Yelp) across this park while trying to find a place to do a HIIT workout with a friend. We originally planned to go to TY Park but it was closed off for COVID/Vaccine appointments only. A quick Yelp search later, we decided on Charles F. Vollman Park. This spot is very hidden and most people wouldn't know it was here. It sits in front of an apartment complex and has a sidewalk "trail" that winds across it in different directions. Large trees span the park and offer great shade during any workouts or picnics here. There were a few people walking their dogs and running. We ended up doing our HIIT workout in a little dead end part of the lot which was the perfect spot for it. You can see Yellow Green Farmers Market right across the tracks from this park. I would note that there aren't too many parking spots like other South Florida parks. Still a great place to be one with nature if you find yourself in the area!
