This is a 30 acre park in the Rock Island neighborhood, which was an unincorporated pocket between Ft. Lauderdale and Oakland Park. The park is located next to the Bryant Branch Library. The park was once a cow pasture that was donated in 1967 by Mr.Joseph Osswald, a local businessman and land owner. He wanted the land to be used for public recreation. In 2005 Rock Island was annexed by the City of Fort Lauderdale. Today the park is one of the largest in the city and serves as a community gathering place that provides educational, recreational, and play opportunities. The park has a recreational center, two ball fields, three shelters, two tennis courts, racquetball courts, two covered basketball courts, a jogging exercise path, outdoor fitness stations, kids splash pad, playground, three hole golf course, and a lot of iguanas. Whether you want to exercise or play, Osswald Park has something for all ages.

And I scored the avocado tree i wanted. I eat one of these 3-4 times per week, love them

Very nice clean park, easy access with plenty of parking. Several ball fields and well lit for nighttime games. I was there for a city of Ft Lauderdale tree giveaway and they did an amazing job. Well organized from registration to laying out the various trees all labeled with information on eash

Needed a place to stop by with my toddler and children before flying out from the airport. We…read moreliterally had 10 hours to kill. My little one loves playground but being outside in a park all day in this weather is not pleasant. This is a very affordable, clean, and fun indoor playspace. Food kitchen is closed on weekdays but they still have coffee! No outside food but they have in and out privileges so we were able to have lunch close by and go back in which is a rarity to have. All my kids loved it, especially my little one age 4. Would def come by again when I'm in the area. Plenty of parking and it's next to a plaza with many food choices. Prices are reasonable for 2 adults and 1 child. Must bring or wear grip socks for kids Playing. Adults can wear regular socks! They sell them at ~$4 a piece if you forget. Also be careful when opening the door. It's really light and swings pretty easily, it fling wide open.

We were in the area with a couple of kids and this was a perfect indoor playground. It is way too…read morehot to play outside. The place was a bit pricey for what it is, but I like the concept. I do like there were some seating area for the adults to sit and watch, but there are some spots you can't see unless you follow them. We were there on a week day mid-morning, so it wasn't packed. The kids had a great time. There is a cafe on site, but the menu was limited so we opted to go elsewhere (walking distance) to grab a bite to eat. If you're visiting Ft. Lauderdale and are in the area with little kids, this is a great spot to cool off while the kids burn their energy off.
