They have a baseball field open to first come first serve although on Sunday its seems the adults own the field. A blacktop walking trail surrounds the grassy multi-use playing field.

The kiddie park near the entrance is large and has sufficient parking.

Completed in 1989, Oscar Wind Park is located along State Road 84 and Interstate 75. When it opened…read moreit was the first park near Weston and Bonaventure, paid for with city money, The park was named in honor of Oscar Wind, the developer who donated the land in 1983 when the city annexed the area. In 1993, six more acres were added to the park as was a new softball field, a soccer/football field and a new park shelter. Today the park is looking better than ever. A new playground and outdoor fitness court were unveiled last month which increased the fitness and play options in the City of Sunrise. The new playground is ADA accessible with a wheelchair entry. It now has more than a dozen play structures including slides, swings, climbers, and a merry go round. Elements were added to foster learning, inspire music, and provide tactile games. The playground is covered in shade canopies and new seating and landscaping were added. Also brand new at Oscar Wind Park is the first Fitness Court in the city and it is also shade covered like the playground. The Fitness Court has an app on the side that teaches you how to use it. You do a circuit of exercises using your own body weight in order to condition and strengthen during work outs. It can be modified for all fitness levels. Additional park features included an open green space with a new 1/2 mile walking path, new landscaping, renovations to the restroom and picnic pavilion, and new LED lighting. My favorite improvement is that there is now a connecting walkway between Oscar Wind Park and Sawgrass Sanctuary Park. I like that you can do a really long walking circuit around both parks and never have to go into the road. The two parks blend together seamlessly. With the new additions to Oscar Wind Park, I think this is the best place in the city to enjoy nature, take the kids to play, and exercise.

I loved the design of the new playgrounds. There is one for toddlers and one for bigger kids and then a separate area of swings for all abilities.

Next to the playground and parking area, there is bathrooms and a field house (concession stand) plenty of seating to watch soccer games or practices for the parents. The turf field is so nice and all of the practice fields are in great shape. I also liked that there was a paved sidewalk trail around the entire park to enjoy a walk in the fresh air

It was named after late city commissioner Stan Goldman who was a city commissioner for eight years. He was a long time advocate for the park and worked to expand it. The park was dedicated to him in 1986. I entered Stanley Goldman Memorial Park at the southern end of the park that connects to Lions Park via a bridge that crosses the C-10 canal. As I was crossing the bridge I spotted 4 manatees including a baby which I have never seen at a park before. I had a great time watch them swim and munch on the nearby tree branches. The park also has a fitness trail, fishing area, playgrounds, picnic areas, roller hockey rink, skatepark, restrooms, and a dog park. The city added the 22,000 square foot dog play area in 2015. The park is also a popular place to fish. The city of Hollywood has created the perfect place for nature, dog, and sports lovers to go to enjoy the best of what Florida has to offer.

There is a large open field for play and exercise. The park has many large native shade trees. Close to the street part of the park is fenced off and there is a large mound of dirt peeking over the top of the fence. There is some unsightly garbage and debris on the ground behind the fence.

Deicke Park opened on October 10, 1993. It was named in honor of Plantation pioneer Edwin F…read more Deicke. Deicke was a philanthropist who gave money to people and organizations in need in Illinois where he grew up, and Broward County, where he and his wife Lois built a home in Plantation in 1961. As a young man he wasn't able to afford to go to college but he became successful in the insurance business eventually becoming president of the country's oldest insurance company. He amassed a fortune and used it to help others before he retired to Florida. In Plantation some of the beneficiaries of his generosity were students at Plantation and South Plantation High Schools who received scholarships to go to college. Edwin F. Deicke passed away after a long illness in 1984. His wife Lois continued to give money to the causes they supported after his death. Deicke Park is a tranquil neighborhood park. It has a half-mile jogging trail with exercise equipment designed for use by the general public and people who are physically challenged. Other park amenities include two hard court tennis courts, a sand volleyball pit, a basketball court, picnic tables and open play areas. There is also a shaded playground for toddlers and older children. The park pavilion can be rented for parties, picnics and family gatherings. Restrooms are open only during the day. Although I enjoyed the exercise path, my favorite part of the park was discovering the nests of burrowing owls near the sand volleyball court. 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. They are pretty timid and will pop back into their burrows if you approach but I managed to catch sight of one little fellow. The park was very busy during my visit. People were walking on the exercise path, playing volleyball, basketball, and tennis, and watching their kids play on the playground. Deicke is a great recreational resource for the Plantation community. Come visit Deicke Park anytime from dawn to dusk.

It is just a few blocks south of Sunrise Blvd., and just a few blocks west of Nob Hill Road. Since it's kind of hidden; it's never too crowded, plus there is a good sized parking lot and bathroom facilities. This park has everything you could ask for in a neighborhood park; wide open spaces for soccer or football practice, a nice, often shady, path for walking, biking, or jogging, 2 tennis courts, a volleyball area, a covered pavilion, and a playground. (Right now the playground is closed off & the picnic tables under the pavilion have been removed because of the pandemic.). There's still plenty of reasons to go to this cute, little neighborhood park and spend some time outdoors!
