I discovered this lovely park while attending a community tag sale. No, there are no flamingos here. The park takes its name from Flamingo Road. Opened in 2019, this 28 acre park has four synthetic football/soccer fields, concession stands, a 560 square foot meeting room which can be rented, four picnic pavilions with tables, restrooms, and a shade covered playground with climbing structures, swing sets, and multiple slides.
The park also has 3.32 acres of wetlands with a 2 acre lake with a fishing pier. . My favorite part of the park was the almost half mile walking path around the wetlands and lake. During my walk I saw a number of birds including Egyptian Geese and Ibis. The wetlands area is perfect for attracting wildlife. Other birds you may find here include common gallinule, wood storks, mottled ducks, limpkins, tricolored herons, great blue herons, black crowned night herons, anhingas, and great egrets.
The creation of this park helped to ease the burden of the overcrowded athletic fields in Cooper City but this park is also a welcome resource for anyone wanting somewhere to hold a meeting or party, a place to take the kids to play, or a spot to enjoy nature. read more
