Late post but just came across some pics from this morning. Hahahah... I can't say we killed…read morepickleball but we managed... haha.... Love love this park and how nice they keep making it. 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..

It's pretty cool for adults who don't take themselves too seriously. Pure chaos. Make sure you rinse off before leaving, and wash everything when you get home. Aside from how absolutely disgusting the water must be, this is S-tier wholesome fun.

We enjoy this park mainly because it's covered. It's a great climbing park especially for the older…read morekids. My youngest who is one and oldest who is three however still enjoy it very much. There's a lot of grassy area on the sides too. Not a lot of traffic so you don't have to worry about the kids getting hurt.

Some parks give you grass. Lakeside Park gives you therapy--without the co-pay. You've got the lake…read moreglistening like it was hand-polished by God's landscaper, shady trees that practically beg you to nap under them, and picnic tables that have probably overheard more family drama than your group chat. It's the kind of place where you can fish, grill, jog, or just sit and judge the ducks like a retired Floridian. The sunsets? Five-star Instagram filters built by nature. The vibe? Chill enough to make you forget that your inbox exists. Clean, peaceful, and somehow still underrated--Lakeside Park is proof that not everything in Florida has to cost $25 a ticket and three hours in line. Five stars, because this park makes doing absolutely nothing feel like an achievement.

Love the new addition to Pompano Beach. The playground is great lots of kids having fun beautiful…read moreviews and lots of challenging activities for the kids to push themselves. We will definitely be coming back soon as the kids and I both enjoyed our time here.

The Great Lawn is where Atlantic Ave meets North Pompano Beach Boulevard. There is pay parking…read morealong the sidewalk and in a lot across the street. Pompano Beach has put a lot of money and thought into the area they call the Great Lawn. It has a splash pad for the kids and an outdoor shower. If you get hungry you can grab food at Sandbar Snacks. There is even public art projects, the Pirates Treasure Chest and a painted Pompano fish called Yellow Polka Dots. Right behind the lawn is access to the beach. The city of Pompano stages events here like Music Under the Stars and Movies on the Lawn. With beautiful views and plenty of room to relax and hang out, this is a popular gathering place for the beach crowd. I really like what Pompano has been doing to improve the beach area. There is a new parking garage so there is always a spot to park, great new restaurants, outdoor exercise equipment, and a fun playground for the kids. The Great Lawn fits in perfectly with the improved beach area. I can't wait for the last piece to be completed, the new Pompano Beach Pier. I am eagerly awaiting it's opening. I used to come to this beach because it was close to where I live. Now I come because of the great amenities. Well done Pompano.

I like to take walks, but I get bored always walking in the same place. 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.

This park was named for Pompano pioneer Robert aka Bob McNab who came south after the frost of 1899…read morein Central Florida with his brother Harry. Harry was a city councilman and banker who opened the first movie theater and ran the post office and grocery store while brother Bob spearheaded the city's agriculture and commercial development. The brothers made their fortune in farming which enabled them to own most of old Pompano. They were the first people to own an automobile and have electric lights. I stopped by because I noticed the beautiful large Christmas tree that the city had set up in the park. They also added decorations that light up at night. While it was beautiful display I felt uncomfortable because they were at least 20 homeless people in the small area of the park. At least one was smoking pot right next to a toddler. As I was leaving I ran into a security guard who told me the homeless could be there and it seems like they have made it their gathering spot. It's sad that the homeless of Pompano can't get better services to help them off the street. The city could have saved the money of the decorations and put it towards that. The really ironic thing is the park is directly behind the Pompano Beach visitors center. I don't think this is the welcoming look of Pompano that they wish to convey to tourists. Although I can't recommend a visit the park it also has a clubhouse, tennis and racquetball courts, basketball court, and a children's playgrounds but honestly take your kids somewhere else.

Love this park! It's beautiful, large and full of a variety of activities. Walking trails, horse…read moretrails, lakes, train ride (center weekends of the month for kids), a bee sanctuary too and more! We went this weekend for their fall festival and what a treat! Hounce houses, photo opportunities, pumpkin patch, pig races, hayrides and more! The kids and us had a blast. With the overwhelming amount of people that came, it never felt so crowded that you could not participate in what you wanted. Some lines, but not always. It was pretty well organized too. Props to the staff on that! The day was beautiful,and we got through everything we wanted to in the 3 hours we were there!

I would do it again next year. Its a driving experience. They had a sign of a station to listen to. I got static so I used mine. You have to stay inside the car. They had a bathroom stop halfway. It was around thirty dollars and you had the option of buying 3D glasses for $6, ouch a little overpriced for paper glasses. I did buy them lol. What the glasses did was that it added a figure to the lights. My glasses had snowman and if I moved they moved with me. It was cool. The snowman were everywhere. My son got candy cane. It was the same experience. The staff seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some really got into the holiday spirit. Everyone was very cheerful here. It was a happy atmosphere. I was glad I came.

And we got to see ducks, and white birds, and lizards, too! There are several covered picnic pavilions with bbqs and tables and even water fountains -- at each one. They are set far enough apart for privacy. There's a playground and a volleyball court, cornhole, and a swath of green in the middle. It would be a good place for a family picnic or small corporate event or just a break at lunchtime. It's set back into a residential area. Don't let that deter you. It's worth a detour..
