Came here for a family reunion and camped on site. I have never been here before and was amazed at the sheer size of this park. The park is pretty much everything friendly! The dog park area had dogs playing. Boats launching, separated area for RC boats. I even ran into a group of RC 4x4 rock climbing gang. I brought my bike to check out the parks bike trails. These trials are awesome! I live close to Grapefruit trails and this is a great spot to ride. Markham trails are way more extension. Lots of land area, lots of trails. Whoever is putting in the work out here is doing an awesome job! Its a wide Variety of skilled blinds out her. The signage on the trails is everywhere an easy to find. It's so great when a trail splits and there's actually sign that tells you the wrong way. The trails all have different levels of skill and whenever there's a fork in the road the sine will tell you if it's a Black Diamond, red diamond, Intermediate, or easy. I came through and rode most of the green lines then upgraded to the intermediate. After which I immediately tried to start doing some of the black lines and my bike was not well suited for anything that says difficult, extreme, professional, double diamond, red line, and most black lines. Black lines were not too bad lots of inclines fast declines and narrow in between tree gaps. You'll find a few good jumps on the black lines. Some of the trails are completely flat in 2 way traffic at some of them have nice bank turns to race through. If you find the line labeled turtle slide definitely take that path. It's a very fun hill that isn't difficult to master on the way down. They have wood bridges and woodwork all over the park. There's wood bridges that go over the Intermediate lines so that they can show off how awesome they are. The past are very shaded it was 90° out and I didn't feel too hot at all. I was impressed there's first aid kits scattered throughout the whole part. The campground we stayed at was big! The showers were located on campsite h. The showers were tiny and disgusting exactly what you would expect from a campground shower. I was so happy it wasn't nice and fancy but definitely where flip-flops or Crocs. The bathroom at our campsite was quite run down and in questionable condition but sturdy walls. When you poop in nature you don't really complain about the bugs too much. Accountant roaches scurry and buy while pooping really helped The chocolate logs flow out. The campground itself was really nice and a very private even though it was in the middle of everything and close to the gun range. Everybody that worked here was really nice and once we were setting up in our campsite one of the park Rangers brought over a dumpster just for us to use. This place is amazing I'll be back someday to check out the other side of the park and never got to. Hopefully this place never turns into condos in the middle of a city surrounded by stupid loud highways Markham park is a surviving treasure read more

Well, first off I definitely wanna say God bless me to have an awesome experience. I just want to say I had a great experience at the park. It was really good. Everybody was very informative about what you can do and what you can't do, and after every shot is five seconds, and then you can fire again I see a lot of people make a big deal out of it, and they say that the people at the range are really mean from what I saw. I went there with a small group just the two of us. We had fun. We stayed there until basically the park closed. Everyone gave a lot of information. The guys that worked inside and outside were very informative. They were cool and very down to earth that's all I have to say. Now I will say if you have any military background or law enforcement background and you want to use their range for some shooting like real life scenarios. I do suggest that you go somewhere else because I understand it can be aggravating shooting after every five seconds like my buddy came with this 22 LR that I told him to leave at home because 22 and Larkin only load about 10 to 15 shots and it's not practical and pointless to even have something like that in my opinion, I'm a 5.56 NATO guy so that's what I rock with. No pew pew. read more

If you like outdoor ranges with strict, zero-nonsense safety rules, Markham Park is your place. The range officers run the line like seasoned pros--because a gunshot doesn't negotiate, and neither do they. Compared to other ranges where officers are on their phones mid-duty, these folks actually know what they're doing and keep everyone in line (literally and figuratively). Yes, the wait times can get long--especially on weekends--but honestly, it's Florida's only range where you can hold your spot, wander off, and BBQ with your family while you wait. Nothing like grilling burgers while mentally preparing to grill some targets. Clean, safe, professional, and outdoors. If you want structure and sanity, this is your spot. If you want chaos... try anywhere else read more

This range is effectively designed for bolt-action rifles and archery, not for practical handgun or semi-automatic rifle shooters. The enforced mandatory ~5-second delay between each round makes any controlled or realistic training impossible. If you're accustomed to military, law-enforcement, or competition-style shooting, this place will be frustrating to the point of being unusable. I would not recommend coming here with military veteran friends expecting meaningful firearms practice. Ammunition pricing is another issue. 9mm is sold at approximately $20 for a 50-round box, which is well above market rates. Combined with restrictive firing rules, it feels less like a public service and more like another South Florida cash grab. Bottom line: * Fine for slow-fire bolt guns and bows * Poor choice for handgun or semi-auto rifle training * Overpriced ammo * Overly restrictive rules that kill the experience If you want real training value or freedom to shoot responsibly, look elsewhere. read more

Great public pistol and rifle gun range including an archery area. Bring all your guns and ammunition. Skeet and sporting clays too. Range master on duty and they supply targets for .60 cents and a box of 50 rounds of 9mm for $22.50. No gun rentals here. Saturdays and Sundays open until 5pm. Very cheap to shoot at this range for $16.00 for three hours. read more

Lots of attitude. Not sure how well trained or rather mannered the staff is.. there's ton of indoor ranges in Florida and it's starting to get hot out so.... Definitely not what I was expecting. I'd save your time and $ and go to a quality indoor range. read more

We've been the very first time on a shooting range beside the "touristic" in Las Vegas. The ranger are friendly and gave some useful tips. I felt safe all the time. Longest distance about 100 yard. Amazing place. We will come again. read more

Markham Park Target Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Have been to this range dozens of times throughout the years, better than going to indoor ranges. It's outdoors, so summertime expect the heat and to sweat, but also keeps people away because of the heat. I have a few complaints to go along with compliments. I've always gotten along with the RO's for the most part they are pretty laid back. I have seen them get on people that they have to tell things multiple times. PROS- -relatively cheap still to shoot- around 15-16 for 3-4 hours or the whole day if you go on weekdays -The shooting stalls can shoot both handguns and rifles. You can bring upto 4 guns per person -weekdays it's relatively empty to shoot the wait to get in goes fast -The range goes out to 100 yards -You can shoot in any position you want from the bench, prone, standing. -The RO's will give you a hand and some help if you need it, just ask -No problems bringing NFA items there- SBR's, Suppressors no full auto though -Bathroom and vending machines on site CONS- -The 1 shot per 3-5 seconds really needs to go away. It's hard to practice follow up shots when you aren't allowed to do it. I'm not asking for full mag dump, but some leeway on real shooting follow up shots not everyone wants to shoot at a bolt action rate -This might be a county rule there, but wish they would allow other targets besides just the circle paper targets, like some steel would be cool to hit, also person silhouettes would be nice - More stalls than RO's so you can get bunched together when shooting -Weekend shooting gets really busy fast and arrive early or be prepared to wait hours Overall I don't think you can go wrong coming to this range to shoot. I would say please familiarize yourself with you weapon first at home before coming to the range-practice reloading dropping the magazine, racking the slide-squeezing the trigger. I have seen some old timers and young guys there that had a gun that they bought for self defense or just get into shooting, have no idea how to load or rack it and things could have ended badly if not for the RO's coming over to help out. read more

I'm a relatively new shooter and I've only really gotten into firearms within the last 6 months. I'm originally from New York and all the experiences I've had at outdoor ranges there have regrettably tainted my view of them; A lot of old, grumpy, men that weren't at all helpful and extremely cold. I'm pleased to say that Markham's employees have completely changed my view of outdoor ranges and have made their range my new go to spot. First of all, the range master that was overlooking our booth was super helpful to that point that he even spotted some of my shots without me even asking. Before even that, he made sure my buddy and I knew how the range operates and helped us set up our targets. It was very comforting to know that someone had our best interests in mind. I really love this place and can hardly wait to go back. read more

I don't know why you would go anywhere else. Outdoor ranges very friendly staff who actually know what they are doing. Skeet is fun Trap is awesome Long ranges are really enjoyable. read more

Located at the very back of Markham park, this range has a variety of shooting options and a knowledgeable safety team.

Markham Park Shooting Range is awesome, very professional range officers, the best place to shoot, handguns, rifles, shotguns. It's where the cops go to shoot specialty weapons. Great staff, safe range , check it out. read more

its a good spot for your novice shooter! The range is outdoors with a covered roof. Safety is a priority! rapid fire is not allowed and a quick way to have a range officer talk with you is to unload a mag at a high rate of fire. Range fee is dirt cheap! Under $15 for 3 hours of shoot time. Plenty of range officers to make sure shooters are operating in a safe manner. Plenty of lanes to space out shooters and not have everyone on top of each other. read more

Do the RSO's realize they breach safety protocols per NRA? I am an RSO too, and they do some very questionable and downright dangerous things. E.g. Do not run up to an individual actively engaging the target with your arms flailing and screaming like you sat on a hot coal. It is dangerous and unprofessional. Additionally, why are the RSO's so condescending at this range? I just left after stopping by to see if they have ammunition for me to shoot. The rotunt RSO at the front gave me a huge attitude and said in a snappy and rude way we're having the same problem everyone else is, then looked at me like I were stupid (opened eyes wide and cocked head to the side while jutting his large forehead forward). What a poor attitude this place has. Even my hardest shooting instructor in the military didn't have that kind of snappy and b**chy attitude. read more

This range is great. It keeps all the "newbies" in line. There is a time limit on shooting. I think 3 hours. They keep a list of names to keep the new arriving shooters in order. (at the maitre d HA HA ) The ammo is hit and miss right now, anybody that doesn't know why can stop reading now. They carry some targets, and back boards for the target stands. Most of the folks are very helpful, and nice. The only attitude I have gotten was from A$$hole shooters. DON'T BE THE GUY CARYING YOUR GUNS, SUPPLIES, AND AMMO IN YOUR HANDS, OR IN A CARDBOARD BOX LOADED, WITHOUT A CASE. Yea I'm looking at you with the red hat with white letters! I go a few times a month. I always have a pleasant time... see ya there. read more

Unfortunately we drove 45 minutes to get to this range and enjoy a nice Sunday, but all that was halted when we arrived the only person at the register was arguing with the people ahead of us so we signed in and waited patiently. The two guys who were in front of us ended up leaving the range . We finally get to the register and the guy who was already arguing with the people ahead of us seemed like he was in a bad mood. Anyways... when we finally got to him. He said my girlfriend can't go shooting because she was wearing a sleeveless shirt . But he said she could shoot if we buy a 25$ for a t -shirt. Mind you it's 90 degrees outside. We are new to the area but are not new to shooting . Unfortunately I would not recommend this location for anyone to go shooting. They have bad service and short tempered employees. So yeah. Not a friendly place read more

Read some reviews and agree with most. This is the place to go. Range officers are knowledgeable and as helpful as you want them to be. Sometimes appear to be a little more strict than other times, mostly when the "entitled" are there, not following rules. Ignore the negative exception review and enjoy the experience. read more

Lessons from the Range Instructor for clay pigeons was well worth the time and drive to get to the Park. The facilities are world class and all employees are respectful and take the time to assist with any questions or concerns. read more

Even After reading some negative reviews and hearing from others that the range officers here are rude I decided to try out this range seeing as it's the closest one to my house. Signed in and was on the range within minutes, easy to follow instructions (I told them I have never been to this range before) was there to sight in my rifle and even got some help from one of the range officers. Everyone was very nice and put safety first. Definitely going to return read more

Markham Park Target Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

I love markham. Markham trumps every other range out there In south Florida. Rso are very cool and very helpful.

Great location and extremely friendly folks. You will have a great time shooting for sure

It is hit or miss, mostly miss. Only reason i go and try to still go is that it is outdoors. Range officer was completely negligent about my type of firearm, confused that the bolt didnt lock to the rear, jerking it around and setting it down roughly on the concrete benches. Range Officers very aggressive, runs up right behind you and yells if you fire a .22 every 4 seconds instead of 5. Mostly rude staff, crazy long wait times, and never ever has ammo so bring your own. Try to avoid this place, unless you feel like getting shit service. One guy there is pretty cool Shoutout to him u know who you are. read more

I love this range, I'm Currently active duty and whenever I come home I drive here to shoot since it has an archery range next door and I can pull out my bow after I'm done shooting. The only thing I didn't like from this range was that one of the staff fire guys looked down my barrel when he was "inspecting" my weapon. I immediately freaked out, but if that's what they teach their people that's what they teach their people. Other than that, the range is nice, it's kept clean and it's organized and cheap. Would definitely recommend the place. read more

Beautiful range with fresh air and sunshine (or pouring South Florida rain) Really good course for longer distance rifle shooting. Very good deal for the range time too. $13 per person for up to 3 hours. Safety is first, second and third here. No rapid firing - No double taps. You have to wait 5 seconds per round down range. There are no human shaped paper targets allowed which is just plain silly. You can leave your exploding 2 litter bottles home too. Also no spinners or metal targets of any kind. And DO NOT under any circumstances bring a loaded weapon to the course or you will be asked to leave. They are hardcore on this rule. You load up when the range goes Hot. During cold range "no shooting" time you can't touch your weapon or ammo. And you have to stand behind the line but then when directed you can go and check or readjust your targets. You sweep up your own rounds which is a good thing to keep what is essentially a public park clean. The range officers are helpful but more than once I had one of them tell me to do something then the one down the line yells at me to stop doing whatever I was just told to do. But their number one job is ensuring your safety and the safety of everyone around you. Overall I like and recommend this place but if you plan on emptying your mag while holding your pistol sideways at a human shaped target you'll have to go elsewhere. :) read more

The process for getting in to shoot seems unorganized and unclear. Waited for three hours to be told they still weren't sure when we could shoot so it seems there is an unlimited amount of time for people once there. Pack a lunch. Pack a dinner. read more

This is a pretty decent outdoor target range, but be aware there are many rules unlike a traditional range. I like coming here because its outdoors, and they have longer lanes for rifle (up to 100 yards). They also have Skeet/Trap Fields, 5-stand, Sporting Clays and an Archery range. As I mentioned, there are rules, like no rapid-firing. They also have regular stoppages to allow people to adjust their targets, where the entire range goes cold. If you have patience, then this will not be a problem. There are a log of lanes, but it can get busy on weekend. Overall, I find it a great option, and I dont mind all the safety/Range officers that are present. feel very comfortable and safe here. They will also lend rifle blocks/socks/spotting scopes as needed. Prices are very reasonable. Its also only $1.50 per person to enter the park. read more

I've enjoyed skeet shooting here each and every time. The the range officers are extremely rude and impatient, safety is the number one rule for every range and responsible gun owner, but their are quite of few of these ranger officers who are bias and racist sadly they can truly make the experience terrible. If you get lucky to have one of the nicer ones have fun. read more

Had a really good time coming here for the first time. Range was kinda busy for a Wednesday afternoon but it was worth it. Idk why everyone is complaining about the staff actually caring on how people handle/operate a weapon. Definitely will be returning. read more

Range masters are unhelpful and quick to yell for no reason. They power trip hard even when they dont actually go over the range rules or anything with you beforehand and how they want the range run. Its like a bad girlfriend who expects you to know her feelings but its old angry men. read more

If I could give zero stars I so would. There website has no policies or rules listed besides eyes and ear protection and gun modifications. Yet when you show up in a tank top because it's so hot out, you get screamed at and told to put on a jacket. It seems they make up dress code policies on the fly. Also, if you get told there is a wait time of an hour to an hour and a half I recommend just walking away. We were 3rd in line then some how got placed as 4th after 2 hours of waiting. Will not be coming back ever again. read more

Great trap shooting experience with my granddaughter. Range officers were extremely helpful!

A little difficult to find. Nice facilities and nice people. For pistols you can only shoot paper targets and at 15 yards minimum. Very, very safety concious. read more

Note: County run facility. This review is only pertinent to the advertised Rifle and so called Pistol Range This is a prime example of why you should beware of government ran facilities and your firearms. Range Nazis is a mild description. - While you may shoot a pistol here, the closes targets are at the 15 yard line. You will not be able to engage realistic distances of 3-5-7 yards or even 10 yds. They need to section off an area where pistols can be used realistically. Bottomline, just because you can shoot pistols here, does not make this configuration a pistol range. this is flirting with false advertisement. - when i entered the range, they "secured" my weapons by carrying them to my firing position...it gets worse; they had me stand to the rear of the firing position and cleared my rifle and pistols for me before they would allow me to move forward. I have been shooting all of my life and never once has anyone insisted on relieving me of the responsibility of clearing my own weapon. _ This does not promote safe usage of a firearms or instill safe handling when it is done for the shooter. if you are training a family member, friend or others, stay very far away from this range. _ Since this is a gov't run facility, I find it offensive that they sought to control my firearms. Government employees should not be allowed to touch our personal property without our permission and should inform shooters verbally that this is their policy, before you give them money for range time. Keep your hands off my firearms Government. - Next, they took issue with me using silhouette type targets. They only allow bullseye like targets. They made me fold the head over behind the torso. They claim it is a target range only. Silhouettes are targets last I checked. They also go to great extent to work with you to line up targets. the frame sticks in the sand as they direct you to keep it lined up. I suggest they use PVC or metal pipes to drop the frame in instead. it is more accurate and less subjective to an RSO's opinion I may disagree with. Pipes may be numbered and the static position would also make for a more efficient process. Conclusion: If you are an avid firearms enthusiast and support the 2A. You should be beating down the county commissioner's doors and demand that your tax dollars are used for a better ran facility than this one. As for me, I will be supporting private industry and recommend you do the same. read more

Range staff was very helpful when I needed to sight in my scope. Very professional and safe I will definitely be returning read more
