This is an amazing piece of protected nature in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. I especially enjoyed seeing cypress trees and knees, wild coffee with its red berries, air plants, bromeliads, and many other native plants I couldn't identify. Restrooms & boardwalks were very clean & well maintained. Wear sneakers if you plan to explore the natural trails. My only suggestion is for the center to add labels to the plants and trees, which would make the experience even more educational and enjoyable. Love this place!

This was a great place to have a relaxed walk without traveling too far out of town.read more

This Park is THE BEST in the area!…read more My kids absolutely love it & so do I! The playground is beautiful constructed both for younger & older children. There are so many different options of activities to park take in. Some options: Adult workout area, picnic tables, kayak launching area and a wonderful walking trail. If that isn't enough this park also has a few tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts and volleyball. Including clean restrooms, cover pavilions and cameras in the parking lot. Do not forget the ample parking. If you are local and have yet to visit, I highly recommend doing so!

My fiance rode Rooster and I rode Ryder, both incredible horses, we hardly had to do anything they just followed right along so we could enjoy the ride. Our guides had great info on some of the wildlife in the area, and on the horses at the stables. The majority of the ride was shaded, so helped with some of the heat. Couldn't recommend the experience more, especially if you have a kiddo who loves horses!

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!

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.

There is a walkway around the circumference of…read morethe park that takes you up to the Cypress trees and the reserved natural area and near the canal that warns of gators and snakes . There are many pavilions each with a water fountain, a restroom building, a kids playground, a sand volleyball court, concrete corn hole game, and 2 concrete pads for pavilions that were never built. There is plenty of parking . This park is easily accessible by walking from a rental community and a gated housing community. I took my miniature dachshund for some exercise. He loved the park. The only negative is how small it is. You can only make so many loops and walk up and back the long, completely shaded entrance road.

The grown up one also has a stationary exercise bike for a parent/guardian while the kids are playing.

In short: a tranquil park with a covered bridge and walking trails…read more This covered bridge is located directly off Holmberg, on the north side. I have driven past it many times and curious to what it is about. It's a simple park , quiet and tranquil Despite the location. I came with my son, my friend and her daughter. There are so no playgrounds/stations for kids but they still loved it. It was beautiful. At one point on the walking trail there was a large bush that was drawing in a handful of butterflies. So lovely. My son is 8 and he has asked to go back multiple times.

Most bridges are built to cross water but in Parkland you can find one sitting on a dry land in the…read moremiddle of a park. In the 1980's when the Oriole Homes Corporation was developing the Country Place residential community on the north side of Holmberg Road in Parkland they offered to buy something to decorate the park and make it memorable for the residents of the new community. Parkland Commissioners Maryjane Sexton and Bobbi Pugliese wanted something that embodied the country setting so they picked a covered bridge. The bridge was suppose to cross over water but they didn't have any it could span so instead it connects land that runs between two canals. The park was deeded to Parkland on October 18, 1989. There isn't a parking lot for this park since it was designed for use by the people who lived in the community. I parked in the strip mall across the street from Holmberg Rd. and took the short walk up. The park is accessible from Holmberg Road or Hillsboro Boulevard through a tree lined trail on the west side of Winners Circle. The trail runs between the canal and apartments and it connects Covered Bridge Park to 6-acre Park off of Hillsboro Boulevard. I love a covered bridge and this park is so tranquil. In addition to the lovely bridge perfect for photos and as a backdrop for picnics, the hiking trail that runs between the two parks is wonderful for getting exercise. On my stroll I saw turtles, butterflies, and birds. This is just another reason why the name of Parkland is perfect for this picturesque city.

The old nature trail in the Winston Park Nature Center was blocked off in 2018 because the decrepit boardwalk had become dangerous. Gone is the ratty old boardwalk and it was been replaced with a beautiful paved nature trail that connects the Hilton Road Greenway to the Winston Park Nature Center. The path goes through trees and along a canal filled with ducks and wading birds before exiting at the park. The trail is a fantastic improvement over what used to be here. Another upgrade to the park is a new NASA shuttle themed playground. Kids can pretend to be astronauts as they slide through the shuttle. The new playground is so cute and who knows, it just may inspire a kid to go to space. Other park amenities include a basketball court, pavilion, picnic area, racquetball court, tennis and volleyball courts, and a restroom. This park is so much better than the last time I was here. Well done Coconut Creek!
