This is a cute little playground with a big open field to play and run on and one available shelter to rent. I like that it doesn't have a bunch of shelters so if you get the chance to book it for an event, it'll only be your event taking place. My kids really enjoyed the different slides and rock climbing wall. They especially loved the huge tree that they could climb. The reason for the four star is I mean, come on, it's Florida. At this point every playground should be covered. Thankfully it's been nice and cool this week but on a hot Florida summer day kids could easily burn themselves just trying to enjoy the playground. Time to cover it up!
Fig Tree Park is a neighborhood park in Plantation. There's a parking lot, bathroom, large field, water views, playground, and basketball court. There's a pavilion but in order for you to use it, you have to rent it by calling the City. The original playground was damaged by Hurricane Wilma in 2005 but they have since restored it. There's a huge tree by the water that provided ample shading. We decided to lay out our straw mats and just had a picnic lounging and just hanging out. The breeze was perfect under the tree. We were also playing football on the field. The land was smooth enough for a mini football game. When we were there, there were a group of people hanging out under the pavilion, but the park ranger kicked them out maybe because they didn't rent it. The park was clean and it was well maintained; although the grass was kind of long the day we went due to heavy rains. Overall, a great low key park to embrace nature.
This is a large neighborhood park in Plantation. In 2005 the playground equipment was damaged by Hurricane Wilma. It was rebuilt by 200 volunteers from Massey-Yardley Chrysler Jeep, The Chrysler Foundation, the City of Plantation, organizers from KaBOOM!, and residents of the community who all came together to restore the play structures for the children. In addition to the playground the park has a half basketball court, practice baseball field, a pavilion which can be rented, picnic tables, benches and a restroom. There is also a large open area for play and exercise. My favorite part of the park was along the canal where the water attracts local birds. On the day I visited there were two Egyptian Geese with big personalities and a common moorehen with her chick. They are also known as a swamp chickens and live around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. I loved watching the sweet little fuzzy chick explore the world under its mother's watchful eye. That is why I enjoy checking out all kinds of parks. You never know what you will discover. This is a great park to play, picnic, or to just watch the nature swim by. read more
Stumbled across this little park while killing some time with my son. It's a lot larger than I thought. There's a huge grass area for literally whatever you want. There's a decent sized playground for kids. There's a softball field and a single basketball hoop in what looked like a part of the parking lot that they blocked off. I noticed they had a book box that I've been seeing around the county more. One of those where you get give and/or take a book. I say one pavilion and a bench along the huge lake. I didn't check if they were open but it looked like there were bathrooms near the entrance. I can't confirm if there was a water fountain. The parking lot is a bit small and the path to get in is a little tight. Otherwise, this looks to be a great park, especially if you just want to lay out in the sun on the grass and relax. read more
This is a great little neighborhood park in Plantation. It is situated on Fig Tree Lane, hence the name, in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It's well maintained, and it has bathroom facilities and an ample amount of free parking. There is a fairly large pavilion that has 4 aluminum picnic tables; however the pavilion must be rented out to be used. There is a large modern play area with lots of places to climb for kids of all ages. There are also some swings, and the entire playground is covered with a thick layer of mulch. There is also lots of room to run, fly kites, play frisbee or football, etc. The grass is lush and green. The best thing about the park is a beautiful giant tree that gives off tons of shade. The park is also surrounded by water on the north, so it is a great lace for a picnic or maybe to relax and read. The sign said "no dogs," however there was someone playing with their dog in the park when I was there. Fig Tee Park is a little hidden gem of a park in Plantation! read more

Really nice little park. There's an area where you can fish, basketball courts and a cool playground. There's lots of grass and the highlight for my friend's children (and my husband) is the giant tree you can climb. Really pretty and free, not a bad combo. read more
