I would not recommend her as a teacher to your child.

Passing the massive kiddie jungle gym, sand volley ball court, basketball court with several bbq grills and covered pavilions. Continued to the rear of the park and found ample parking spaces near the bathroom facilities that included a bicycle repair. We took a walk to the wide lake with posted warnings not to feed or harass the crocodiles which was odd - who is actually doing the harassing or feeding? Near the lake was a war veterans memorial enclave with an honor head stone for correspondent Ernie Pyle. The area included a wooden bench to sit, relax and take in the scenic park views. PARK #86

Peter Bluesten Park was formerly City Park which was built just after the Korean War so residents…read morecould have a place to gather and play. By 1990 the park had fallen in disrepair. In 2005 City Park was changed to honor Peter Bluesten who was the founder and publisher of the Hallandale Digest. Mr. Bluesten was a WWII veteran who moved to Hallandale from New Jersey in 1946 and he founded the paper in 1963. He took the paper from a one sheet advertisement to a widely read and respected paper that chronicled the history and growth of the city. It was a hometown paper that the community relied on. Mr, Bluesten was very involved with youth sports in the city. He passed away in 1996. The park was redesigned by Craven Thompson & Associates Inc. and the remodeled 16.5 acre Peter Bluesten Park opened to the public on September 28, 2019. One of the highlights is the park's Aquatics Center which has a 25-meter by 25-yard competition style pool with eight lane short course section for high school swim competitions and recreational interactive water features. The pool was designed to meet all of the requirements for USA Swimming. The multipurpose main pool has a large learn-to-swim area, a dedicated water aerobics area, and a beach entry. Both pools are design-built concrete pools with deck level overflow gutter systems. There is also a 1,800 sq. ft water playground with an elevated play structure, which includes multiple decks, slides, rain buckets, water cannons, dancing floor jets and water curtains. Other park amenities include The Hallandale Beach YMCA, an artificial Safeshell turf soccer field, three baseball fields, concession stand, outdoor stage, playground, tennis, basketball, bankshot basketball, racquetball, walking path, and support buildings. The city uses the park for a number of events like their annual Easter Egg Hunt and Movies Under the Stars. If there is one small drawback to Peter Bluesten Park it is that it does not have a parking lot. You have to pay by app and park on the street. Other that that this is a really amazing park with something for everyone to enjoy.

I am not sure if there is a specific area for dogs so I would not let them off their leashes if you are not in a secluded area. it even has a water park on the northeast end.

I had several heavy things I was bringing and it was a long schlep with them. The party was at the water park. I couldn't find it but a nice employee helped me and told me to follow him. We had Funbrella A. It did provide shade. There were about twenty of us. I swam with the kids. I played Marco Polo with them. It was fun. We ate and two and a half hours into the party, it rained. The lifeguards came around to assist with a cart for us to load the things so we could leave. Four of them came around and were super nice. I am giving this park 3 stars because, and I know this sounds odd, but it just feels outdated. The water park area just seems ho-hum. Not exciting. The last time I was at this park was maybe forty years ago when I was a child. Everything looks the same! They do offer a raincheck if it rains within two hours of being there. There are no refunds. Park admission is $3 per car and the water park is $10 per person to get in. I do think they gave my friend the raincheck for our admissions, even though it was slightly over two hours.

There is no parking but there is plenty of street parking around the park. A good park of it is so covered too. This park does have restrooms and a water fountain. The restroom is what is is for a park and with the facilities being a little older. There's basketball courts with plenty of space and it's fenced in. Makes chasing down your ball a little easier. If there's no one else using the courts, it's a nice area if you need some flat open space for another activity. Just remember it is a basketball court and that should be the priority. A couple of the hoops are lowered. Great for young ones to get into the sport early. Short hoops are rare. The playground area is very well-maintained. It's covered and in the shade. The ground is soft runner cork. The playground is pretty new or updated as well. There's also a total of 4 tennis courts. Plenty of regulars come all year to practice, train and have fun. Lots of out of town tennis folks come by as well. Between the tennis courts lies a racquet ball area. Two courts with a shared wall. It's pretty open otherwise. It's not a kind court unless you have some ball control. Still nicely situated and one court has some shade. There's a big ope field with some shady spots on the outside. Great for get together or hanging out. The baseball field is on the corner and pretty basic. One other interesting thing about the park is that it has Bocee court. In fact two of them and a area of players to gather. Have only noticed boncee courts in Key West and Pinellas area. Come enjoy the outdoors if you're nearby or can plan an activity at the park. Enjoy!

Jefferson Park is a neighborhood recreational facility in Hollywood Lakes which is Hollywood,…read moreFlorida's oldest neighborhood. It is known for its charming 1920's homes and pedestrian friendly environment. The park is bounded on all four sides by homes making it the focal point of the neighborhood. It is one of the green spaces Hollywood founder Joseph Young set aside for parks and open spaces. Young named 27 streets after U.S. presidents, from George Washington to Calvin Coolidge. This park is named after President Thomas Jefferson as it sits on Jefferson Street. Jefferson Park has a number of recreational amenities making it highly desirable to neighborhood residents. There are four lighted tennis courts, paddleball courts, two basketball courts, 2 bocce courts, restrooms, playground equipment, and a baseball/softball field. On the night I visited the park was filled with people enjoying every area. The tennis and basketball courts and the playground in particular were filled with people playing games and delighting in the great weather outdoors. This is exactly the kind of bucolic scene founder Joseph Young had the foresight to plan for and which makes Hollywood so family friendly.

Specifically, there is standing water and mud most of the time even when there has been to recent rainfall. We suspect that the water is seeping upward from the ground... hopefully not sewerage! Lately, all dogs (small and large) have been using only the small dog section which has no standing water or mud. This could be a problem when small and large dogs mingle. Size dies matter. Another problem with both sections is bagged dog waste that often fails to get removed on Thursday, the day the park is closed. City officials say they are "looking into it" but that is too little too late.
