    This garden is located across from the Barkham at Markham Park. Such a tranquil environment for an experience you won't forget. Butterflies everywhere with art work scattered about. Pet friendly area with doggie clean up bags offered at the front garden entrance. The whole garden takes only 10 minutes to view. If you or your kids love butterflies come take a look.

    Trellis bench located in the center of butterfly park.

    We set up a wedding proposal perfectly at the butterfly farm. When I called the staff that answered was professional and inquired with her manager on our behalf. This park is filled with lots to do. We look forward to visiting again to experience the offerings at the park.

    Great place to come and have a picnic, relax and lay out, bike ride, take a walk, have a family and friends bbq, bring the fur babies and much more. We had a great time and will most certainly be back.

    The list of activities in the park is incredible! If you are local, this would be a great hangout on the weekends. And if you are visiting the area, it's a nice place to picnic or get involved in one of the following activities. Activities we saw during our short visit included: biking, maintain biking, walking, running, archery, shooting at the range, grilling, picnicking, camping, frisbee golf, kite flying, dog walking, dog training, remote control planes, tennis playing, and more! A big attraction at the park is the dog park. A annual or daily pass is required for entry. The park is separated by fence into two areas for large and small dogs. There were things for the dogs to play in and lots of open room. A cement walking path and lots of shade made this park seem so welcoming. I sure wish our dog park back home had more to offer like this one. The camping area is large and the lots are good sized. The bathrooms appeared to be closed due to covid. If so, a trailer with a bathroom is a must! If you are looking for a place to relax or take part in an outside activity, this park is a great choice!! Wish there was one near us in Michigan!!

    Came here to walk the nature trail, and explore the near by areas. The park has a lot to offer whether it's biking, shooting or bringing your furry friend to to run around in the enclosed dog areas that is cleverly named "Barkham Park".

    A nice park in Weston that has a lot of activities to do. They have a shooting range, archeries, trails for walking, trails for mountain bikes that are extreme, trails for bikes that are easy and for just chilling, a dog park, an area to fly your drones, disc golf, a camp ground, or you can simply chill and do picnic. I'm pretty sure i am missing a whole lot more activities you can do.

    Huge playground.....closed during the pandemic

    I have been coming to this park since the mid-70s, when I was in high school and it seemed like it was out in the middle of nowhere! I actually helped build a trail here when I was in school, and they even had a little zoo with two lions, named Mark and Ham; but the zoo is long gone. Now it is one of the biggest parks in Broward, and it is just a 5-10 minute drive from anywhere in West Broward County. There are so many things to do at Markham Park! There are miles of roads, bike trails, and sidewalks that wind all through the park and around the various waterways. There are many big open areas for playing ball and running around, and smaller shaded areas with picnic tables and pavilions that can be rented when it's not a pandemic. Most of the playgrounds are closed right now because of the pandemic, but I noticed that the tennis courts, racquetball courts, and pickle ball areas were all open and there were people playing on the day I went. They also have a huge area for disc golf with a complete course that is pretty well maintained. In addition to just riding around they have a specific area for trail bike riders. You need a pass to ride there; but there were dozens and dozens of bikers entering when I went by on a Friday afternoon. It seems pretty popular! One of the coolest and unique things they have in the park is the air field. On any given day there are quite a few people with radio controlled airplanes and even helicopters flying them around this area. There is a spectator viewing area there and they even have bathrooms and snack machines. It is a really cool place to go and watch the planes, some jets and helicopters zooming around. It gets especially busy on the weekends. On the west side of the park there is a large camping area. There are shady spaces with water and electrical hook up as well as an area for tent camping. They have bathroom and shower stations scattered through the campsites and they're always seem to be quite a few tents, campers and RVs enjoying the South Florida weather. Markham Park does back up to the Everglades so there are lots of waterways and marshy areas. It is South Florida so you never know what you are going to see and there are lots of warning signs posted to beware of alligators. Markham Park is also a great place to bring your furry friends. Dogs on leashes are welcome throughout the park, and I saw many on the day I was there. They also have a dog park set up just for our four-legged companions. It is appropriately named Barkham Park and here dogs can run around unleashed in the fenced in areas. (There are areas for big dogs and a separate area for small dogs.) Markham Park is free to enter on the weekdays, however there is a small charge on the weekends. Some of the buildings and areas are in need of a little painting, or landscaping, but the surroundings are beautiful and there is always something to do at Markham park. There is plenty of parking, so it's a great place to go by yourself and enjoy nature or bring the family and dog for a day of fun outdoors!

    Markham Park is one of those places I take for granted because of how close to home it is, but it has so many activities that it is an amazing place for people of all ages. Needing an outdoor walk I choose to check out Markham and wandered along their nature walk, with an entrance right across from the dog park (Barkham at Markham). The nature walk consists of very easy terrain and a wide path, taking you past the butterfly garden. I saw plenty of nature (butterflies, bees, birds, lizards) along my path and continued along to the hidden wonder of the nature trail. The entrance to the Everglades Conservation-Levee Greenway. This was a wonderful delight with gorgeous views of the Everglades as well as a view of Markham from a different angle. I definitely recommend checking this out. Make sure to bring water and wear sunscreen because while the nature trail in the park has shaded areas, the main stretch and the levee get full sunlight. In addition to the dog park and nature trail, Markham boasts plenty of mountain bike paths (and provides mountain bike rentals), RV campsites, pavilions, restrooms, and a water sports area. I definitely recommend checking out this gem tucked away in the corner of Weston and the Everglades. **Please be aware that not all services are available currently and Markham is also a COVID vaccination site**

    This massive 665 acre park was opened in 1973 and named after Broward property appraiser C Robert Markham. There is a $1.50 weekend and holiday charge to enter but other than that it is free. This park may have the most things to do out of any of the county parks. There are 8 picnic pavilions of various sizes. On any weekend you will see them being utilized for corporate events, parties, or just by families enjoying a meal. Groups of over 250 people must get prior approval from the park to gather. Prices for rentals can be found on the parks reservation page. The campground has 88 electricity and water hook ups for campers. It is best to make reservations because they get very busy in season. The airfield has 50 acres and a newly renovated 75 foot runway. Different groups meet here and it's always fun to watch the flying planes that people put so much love and time into. Memorial Fitness Zone is one of those outdoor exercise machine spots I love so much. you can scan the QR code to read how to use each machine. The Fox observatory hosts an event every Saturday night which allows the public to take a look through their telescope. The boat launch allows you to put your personal watercraft into the 26 acre lake. The shooting range is in the back of the park. It allows for skeet and trap shooting. The rifle and pistol range has 66 shooting stations. There are 14 miles of mountain biking trails. Bring your own helmet. The Barkham Park dog park allows your pooch to get out and enjoy the fun too as long as you register your furry friend. This facility has an additional fee. If all that wasn't enough there are playgrounds, racquetball and tennis courts, and an 18 hole disc golf course too! Many species of wildlife make their home here including birds, raccoons, opossums, snakes, and possibly alligators. This scenic county park offers so many things to do. Whether you want to fish, bike, run, play, fly, shoot, or boat you can do it all here. This park is another facet to the wonderful Broward County park system.

    Scheduled appointment for 3:15 to have my first Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine at the Markham Park location. It was a drive through. They handed out a form to complete and got the vaccine at 4:45, They gave me a record card, set the next appointment and had to stay in the car line for 15 minutes. A simple process but it still takes a couple hours. Luckily I had no side effe

    Markham Park is amazing! The park is an awesome place to unwind and relax. It has a great variety of spaces and activities available so that you can come back again and again and have a different experience every time. The entrance fee on the weekend is $1.50 per person, although when we went, it was a free entrance weekend (that's pretty awesome!) Once you enter the park if you head west after the ticket booth, you'll find the Barkham dog park where you have plenty of room to run around with your furry friend. The beginning of the nature trail is also on the west side of the park. The nature trail is basically a long winding gravel road that winds around the everglades. It's a beautiful view and you'll find lots of people who are riding bikes or walking the trail. It's very wide though and there's plenty of space for everyone. The the east you'll find sprawling fields and plenty of open space to throw the frisbee, bbq with the family or just hang out in the open air. There's a disc golf course with marked holes and good professional goals. Around the far east side of the park, basically in the back is the shooting range and archery range. They're both far enough away that the noise won't bother you if you're looking for a nice relaxing picnic but they're right there if you'd like to go shooting and enjoy a nice picnic afterwards. The vibe is very family friendly and relaxed, the park is clean and spacious and there's plenty of open space for activities and fun. Towards the end of the daylight you'll find that there is a mass exodus to leave and if you drive a manual vehicle this can be rough. There's a few hills that you have to climb to leave and it's not fun in the stop and go traffic. I would definitely go if you live in the area and haven't been!

    Brakham park. Loki and willow.

    Visiting from Maryland. Found this park to take our two dogs. There is a fee of 25$ but was well worth it!! The dog park(bark ham) is beautiful. Will are going back everyday. The dogs had a blast!

    Real proud of my putter - Whale matches the baskets for once!

    See all
