The Wimberly Athletic Complex is a park in the industrial warehouse section of Oakland Park. It was…read morenamed in honor of Harry L. Wimberly, one of the most beloved and dedicated public servants to the City of Oakland Park. His grandparents moved to area in the 1920's where they made their living as vegetable farmers. Harry began his career in Oakland Park by mowing lawns for the City. For the next 40 years he worked in various positions where he led a team of City employees responsible for streets and building maintenance, parks and roads, solid waste, water, stormwater, wastewater, and garage operations. Harry was known as being willing to do any job needed. He became the City's Recreation Director when the parks and recreation departments were combined and retired as the Director of Public Works in 1996. Harry is perhaps most well known for for helping organize the City's first Youth Day celebration in 1957. Youth Day continues to live on with Broward County's longest-running parade and it is still held every year at the park. Today the City of Oakland Park's youth enjoys all that Harry Wimberly put into the city at the Wimberly Athletic Complex. Park amenities include a baseball/softball diamond, concession stand, football field, and hockey rink. Just south of Wimberly Park is the brand New City Park which opened in 2022 and has lighted basketball court, pickleball courts, a woodland themed playground with shade cover, splash pad, and restrooms. Harry Wimberly loved the children of Oakland Park and he was devoted to making it the best city it could be. It is fitting that such an important gathering place and recreational resource in the community carries his name.

The South Olive Community Center provides classes and programs for the south end of Palm Beach as well as after school care. There is also a really fun looking splash pad for the kids. Much needed improvements to the park were provided by a 2020 Parks Bond Referendum. The old tennis center was a former beach house that had been moved to the park and had been in disrepair for years. In 2020, the city broke ground on a 2 million dollar tennis center and tennis courts that host the South Florida Tennis Program. Hundreds of tennis players are drawn to the courts each week. South Olive Park is a great place to take the kids to play or cool off on a hot day but more than that the tennis and community center anchor the community and bring people together for education and recreation. This park is a treasure for the south end.

We were visiting West palm Beach, Florida and my sister got my son a session with the Trainers…read moreone5. They were extremely professional from the moment we walked through their doors. As soon as my son began the vigorous exercises, the coach he was paired up started explaining how to do the exercises and corrected my son on what he was doing wrong. The coach, Coach James, did many different drills, from conditioning, speed, agility to making sure the players had a good form. They really stayed through their model. You will not be disappointed. The other thing the a like that at the end he give some advice to my son in what he needs to work on.The entire experience with these trainers was really amazing.

They talked with our boys to help them understand that there is more to life than just being good at a sport. They worked on teamwork, good sportsmanship, and of course skills training. I think our boys enjoyed the one on one time and the talks about life more than the actually training. Thanks One5 for helping to make a difference in young boys life.

Park amenities include a basketball court, benches, bocce ball courts. an exercise path, fishing, grills, tennis courts, covered picnic tables, a playground, racquetball courts, volleyball, and workout stations. The lakes attract a lot of native birds. On my walk I saw Ibis and Moorhens. There were also invasive Muscovy ducks, Egyptian Geese, and iguanas. On a week night the park was full of people exercising, fishing, kids playing on the playground, and feeding the ducks. This well maintained park is a great addition to the Royal Palm neighborhood in Oakland Park, providing a respite of nature in the urban landscape.

Who knew there used to be a Polo field in Miami Beach!…read more The polo field was enjoyed by millionaires and ran from 11th to 15th streets east of Alton Road. It was located adjacent to Carl Fisher's Nautilus hotel. Today you are still greeted by a reminder from that bygone era by the polo player statue. "The Polo Player" statue was built in 1923 and is still a prominent figure at Polo Park, Miami Beach. This park is one of the oldest in Miami Beach. The land was part of the Flamingo Golf Course, which was built in 1921 for Carl Fisher's hotel. The Northern end of the park was a polo field. A hurricane destroyed the golf course in 1926. The city of Miami Beach purchased the land in 1929. The park was used for boxing matches. An open air theater was built in the park in 1932. The theater was later demolished.

It turns out there once was an actual polo playing field on Miami Beach adjacent to Carl Fisher's Nautilus Hotel. The polo field enjoyed by millionaires ran from 11th to 15th streets east of Alton Road. When you enter the park you are still greeted by a reminder from that bygone era by the polo player statue created in 1923 but today you are more likely to find pickleball than polo. In addition to the the pickleball courts in this spacious 4.6 acre park, Polo Park also has tennis courts, a USE fitness station, basketball courts, a softball field, open field area, walking path, and a shade covered playground for ages 2-5 and 5-12. The playground is fenced in for safety and has poured-in-place rubber surfacing, spring rider, twirl around, and swings. I came during one of South Florida's frequent rainstorms so I had the park to myself except for a gentleman walking around the perimeter for exercise. When the weather is nicer I can easily envision this park filled with fitness enthusiasts. pickle ball players, and kids enjoying the playground.

See if you can be the next Anthony Rizzo? Diamonds! Prefer to just "accidentally" jog a lap and call it marathon training? The walking trail is a mile and a half--perfect distance to earn that snack from the concession stand without breaking too much of a sweat. Parents, the playgrounds here are basically kid energy vacuums. Bring them in bouncing off the walls, take them home napping in the car. Win-win. And sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll catch live music at the amphitheater. It's like a mini Tortuga... if Tortuga had free parking and no sand! Speaking of parking--there's plenty, which is rare enough in South Florida to deserve its own round of applause. Honestly, Pine Trails is the kind of park that makes you forget you're in suburbia. Five stars, but could go to six if they ever add a margarita machine to the walking trail.
