Loving the new sculpture art. But I just love the vibes overall. It's a must stop by if in the area. If you're into pickleball, regardless if you're good at it or not, this is the place to play. So much fun, people are friendly. We had such an awesome time this morning.... Hahahaha..

I felt like after many degrading years of travel soccer, high school soccer really lifted my love for the game back up. Because of this field (and the many hours spent on it) we were 4x District Champions, 3x Regional Champions, and 2x State Champions. I am so proud to have been apart of this team, we broke so many records and proved so many people wrong.

I am on the lookout for…read moreparks near me with a walking trail and plenty of shade to protect me from the hot sun and make the walk bearable. After all, it is the start of summer in South Florida. I tried this park. It's well maintained and has fields for sports including tennis, baseball, and basketball. Plus there is sort of a path that goes around the park (if you include the regular sidewalk on one side). There are a lot of nice trees, but I would say there is about 50% shade coverage. So for me that may not be enough. But for others who want to use the facilities and don't mind the heat, it could be nice.

Plantation Heritage Park is one of the best places you can come to, to walk around and decompress the day's stress. Something about being out in the nature, getting some fresh air, and seeing different animals calms my mind and my heart. It feelings healing in a way. Yes I would recommend this place to others and will be back again in the future! This park has pavilions you can rent for parties and celebrations. They also have a fitness zone where you can work out. There are playgrounds where kids can run around as well.

I come for the disc golf but I do appreciate all this park has to offer…read more I was new to this part of town when a friend recommended we play the course inside the Plantation Heritage park. I got there as they opened, 8am on the weekends. The course starts on the far end of the park so you get to take in the park on the way there. Ducks and geese love this place. They are all over the place. The lake that takes up the middle of the park is postcard perfect. You can't really blame the birds for liking it. When we play the course it gives you a chance to see alot of the park. The course covers almost everything east to west. One of the really neat things is the burrowing owl really likes this park. They are located at at least 4 spots I have been by. They are unique not just for nesting underground, but that they have alot of attitude. There is one couple of birds that are the 16th tee box who hiss at you while you play. Including the bird encounters, Its a great park, whether disc golfing, or bird spotting.

Liberty Tree Park, now known as Rae Carol Armstrong Liberty Tree Park (gosh that is a mouthful) is…read moreone of the best parks in the City of Plantation. My kids grew up at this park. Located off 5th street , matter of fact the park used to be known as "5th Street Park", it has undergone three name changes. The park is both Dog Friendly and Pedestrian Friendly. This park has a genuinely nice children playground that is shaded with large mature trees. This is important to me and has several benches to sit down. The park is a good size, now double in size since when the City of Plantation acquired the Elks Club back in the early 2000's . There are nice walking trails and bathroom facilities too. Along the walking trails and surrounding the Gazebo you will find dedication bricks throughout. A brick can be personalized and installed for approximately $125.00. The squirrels that live there never go hungry as I see people all the time feeding them peanuts. If you are in the area, Rae Carol Armstrong Liberty Tree Park is absolutely worth a visit.

This is a park that has undergone a few name changes through the years. The original name of the…read morepark was 5th Street Park but the name was changed to Liberty Tree in 1976 to honor the United States Bicentennial which marked the 200 year anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. In 1976 an Oak Tree was planted in the park to honor the Liberty Tree in Boston that was planted in 1646. In 2009 the park name was changed to the Rae Carole Armstrong Liberty Tree Park after Rae Carole Armstrong who was mayor of Plantation from 1999-2011. In 2003 4.9 additional acres of parkland were purchased from the Elk Club expanding the park to it's current total of 9.28 acres. Through the years the members of the Junior Woman's Club have donated the signature white gazebo, brick ways, and statues for the park. In 2007 a push was made to make the park environmentally friendly and green. A comfort station, recycled plank fencing, benches, solar powered lighting and bathroom fixtures, and a bike rack were added as part of this project. This is a wonderful neighborhood park for the City of Plantation. During my visit I saw a lot of families enjoying the playground and green space in the park. There is a walking/jogging path for exercise that winds through the park. Every November the Plantation Junior Woman's Club hosts the Art in the Park event. It's an arts and crafts show and this year they have added food and alcohol vendors as well. The date for this years event is November 10 and 11.

A large exterior fence surrounds the park which seems unusual compared to the the typical open Florida park but when I found out the park has a pool it makes sense. They need to keep it extra secure to make sure kids don't get in and possibly drown. The pool area has an additional fence around it. The pool is open Monday to Friday: 2:00pm to 6:30pm, Saturday: 10:00am to 4:00pm, and closed Sunday. There is a discounted admission for Lauderhill residents. Group and private swim lessons are offered throughout the year. Other park amenities include rest room, sand volleyball court, sports fields, batting cage, benches, center with recently updated indoor gym and meeting rooms, and picnic pavilions with grill. There is also a public art piece celebrating the sacrifices of veterans. This park serves as a community gathering place for people to exercise, play, and picnic. It is wonderful that the city is promoting swim lessons for the residents of Lauderhill.

I have been looking for parks to walk in during the summer that have a good amount of shade. I…read moretried this park, right off Oakland Park Blvd. and by a church. It has a gravel walking path and there is a canal on one side. Unfortunately there was not much shade for walking. I needed an umbrella to block the sun. But the path stated that it's a quarter mile, which I liked for informational purposes and It was in the open, so I felt safe. I didn't see any restroom facilities. So all in all, a nice little park, that's quiet, with a nice gravel road for walking. I would come here again, just not in the middle of the summer!

I must have passed this park a million times and never saw it. It is hidden in plain sight. The…read morepark takes its name from the neighborhood it is in, Cherry Creek Estates. To get to the park you need to pull into the parking lot for the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church next door. Go all the way down and you will see the entrance to the park on the left hand side. At first the park didn't look like much. It has a gravel exercise pathway, open space, outdoor exercise equipment, a picnic table and a bench. The park lies along a creek that feeds into the North Fork Middle River. After walking around a bit I really began to like the park. The park is filled with iguanas. They are everywhere in the trees and on the ground. If you have an aversion to iguanas you might want to stay way. I saw a mama duck and her ducklings sailing down the creek. A tree near the water was swarming with the sweetest Atala butterflies. As I was leaving the park I saw someone filming an exercise video. There is beauty and nature all around. Sometimes it is nice to stop for a moment and take it in.

The Colohatchee Park is a 8.5 acre community park, which includes 7 acres of mangrove preserve…read more This mangrove preserve offers visitors a great view of a variety of species of mangroves and the animals that live in this natural habitat. From the street entrance, I did not get a feel for how large and ample this park was....it's a good size green space. An elevated walkway takes you through the wetland areas of the Middle River and leads to the back of the park. There are restrooms, a dog play area, asphalt walking trail, outdoor fitness zone and a pavilion with picnic tables. ​​The renovated Dog Park at Colohatchee requires a dog park permit and key fob for entry. The outdoor gym is great. You can just get on the equipment and exercise to your heart's content....really nice, and being under the pavilion, it makes it easy and cool for those who don't want to workout under the sun. From the website, looks like the park hours are from 8:00a.m. to Dusk, Thursday - Monday. Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
