As such, it has very little shaded areas aside from the covered shelters, playgrounds & amphitheater. I come here couple times a week for the boys soccer events and practice. The lawns are usually well kept and even. It's great for many types of workouts, walks, etc. It's a great spot to catch a sunset on a clear day as well. The bathroom facilities were ok, sparsely located for this sized park.

The park features multiple large open fields, playgrounds, and baseball fields. There are also bathrooms conveniently located throughout. We visited for the Miramar Kite Festival, which was such a fun experience. The city did a fantastic job organizing the event. There were multiple food trucks, a DJ, and a variety of tent vendors, including the city, fire rescue, PDQ, and other local businesses. One of the highlights was that the city gave out free kites to all guests. The turnout was great, and the atmosphere was lively. One large field was dedicated to kite flying, while a baseball outfield was set up as a kids' zone with several bounce houses for different age groups. We brought a picnic setup and beach chairs and truly enjoyed spending the day here. Overall, it was a wonderful event, and this park is a great place to visit!

After all, it is the start of summer in South Florida. I tried this park. It's well maintained and has fields for sports including tennis, baseball, and basketball. Plus there is sort of a path that goes around the park (if you include the regular sidewalk on one side). There are a lot of nice trees, but I would say there is about 50% shade coverage. So for me that may not be enough. But for others who want to use the facilities and don't mind the heat, it could be nice.

Liberty Tree Park, now known as Rae Carol Armstrong Liberty Tree Park (gosh that is a mouthful) is…read moreone of the best parks in the City of Plantation. My kids grew up at this park. Located off 5th street , matter of fact the park used to be known as "5th Street Park", it has undergone three name changes. The park is both Dog Friendly and Pedestrian Friendly. This park has a genuinely nice children playground that is shaded with large mature trees. This is important to me and has several benches to sit down. The park is a good size, now double in size since when the City of Plantation acquired the Elks Club back in the early 2000's . There are nice walking trails and bathroom facilities too. Along the walking trails and surrounding the Gazebo you will find dedication bricks throughout. A brick can be personalized and installed for approximately $125.00. The squirrels that live there never go hungry as I see people all the time feeding them peanuts. If you are in the area, Rae Carol Armstrong Liberty Tree Park is absolutely worth a visit.

In 1976 an Oak Tree was planted in the park to honor the Liberty Tree in Boston that was planted in 1646. In 2009 the park name was changed to the Rae Carole Armstrong Liberty Tree Park after Rae Carole Armstrong who was mayor of Plantation from 1999-2011. In 2003 4.9 additional acres of parkland were purchased from the Elk Club expanding the park to it's current total of 9.28 acres. Through the years the members of the Junior Woman's Club have donated the signature white gazebo, brick ways, and statues for the park. In 2007 a push was made to make the park environmentally friendly and green. A comfort station, recycled plank fencing, benches, solar powered lighting and bathroom fixtures, and a bike rack were added as part of this project. This is a wonderful neighborhood park for the City of Plantation. During my visit I saw a lot of families enjoying the playground and green space in the park. There is a walking/jogging path for exercise that winds through the park. Every November the Plantation Junior Woman's Club hosts the Art in the Park event. It's an arts and crafts show and this year they have added food and alcohol vendors as well. The date for this years event is November 10 and 11.

For being outside, all the surrounding trees offer plenty of shade. The area we were in was a small part of the park- but offered plenty of room for the event. There were bathrooms- well maintained and a picnic table area that was shaded too. We were right next to the event rental space- of which I've been too in the past for a wedding. There is an area within the park that is a community garden- where you can rent your own plot and plant. Very cool! You'll likely see people riding horses though which is cool too!

It was rebuilt by 200 volunteers from Massey-Yardley Chrysler Jeep, The Chrysler Foundation, the City of Plantation, organizers from KaBOOM!, and residents of the community who all came together to restore the play structures for the children. In addition to the playground the park has a half basketball court, practice baseball field, a pavilion which can be rented, picnic tables, benches and a restroom. There is also a large open area for play and exercise. My favorite part of the park was along the canal where the water attracts local birds. On the day I visited there were two Egyptian Geese with big personalities and a common moorehen with her chick. They are also known as a swamp chickens and live around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. I loved watching the sweet little fuzzy chick explore the world under its mother's watchful eye. That is why I enjoy checking out all kinds of parks. You never know what you will discover. This is a great park to play, picnic, or to just watch the nature swim by.

There's a decent sized playground for kids. There's a softball field and a single basketball hoop in what looked like a part of the parking lot that they blocked off. I noticed they had a book box that I've been seeing around the county more. One of those where you get give and/or take a book. I say one pavilion and a bench along the huge lake. I didn't check if they were open but it looked like there were bathrooms near the entrance. I can't confirm if there was a water fountain. The parking lot is a bit small and the path to get in is a little tight. Otherwise, this looks to be a great park, especially if you just want to lay out in the sun on the grass and relax.

This neighborhood was built between 1958 to 1970 and is home to a large Caribbean population There is no dedicate parking lot. You park around the perimeter of the park. Park amenities include a quarter mile exercise trail with fitness stations. There are also two basketball courts, a 100 square foot picnic shelter, and a shaded playground. There is a large open field for play and exercise. The park has many large native shade trees. Close to the street part of the park is fenced off and there is a large mound of dirt peeking over the top of the fence. There is some unsightly garbage and debris on the ground behind the fence. It is not keeping with the strict city code enforcement which keeps Plantation looking stellar.. Hope they clean it up and finish whatever they are doing soon.

Deicke Park opened on October 10, 1993. It was named in honor of Plantation pioneer Edwin F…read more Deicke. Deicke was a philanthropist who gave money to people and organizations in need in Illinois where he grew up, and Broward County, where he and his wife Lois built a home in Plantation in 1961. As a young man he wasn't able to afford to go to college but he became successful in the insurance business eventually becoming president of the country's oldest insurance company. He amassed a fortune and used it to help others before he retired to Florida. In Plantation some of the beneficiaries of his generosity were students at Plantation and South Plantation High Schools who received scholarships to go to college. Edwin F. Deicke passed away after a long illness in 1984. His wife Lois continued to give money to the causes they supported after his death. Deicke Park is a tranquil neighborhood park. It has a half-mile jogging trail with exercise equipment designed for use by the general public and people who are physically challenged. Other park amenities include two hard court tennis courts, a sand volleyball pit, a basketball court, picnic tables and open play areas. There is also a shaded playground for toddlers and older children. The park pavilion can be rented for parties, picnics and family gatherings. Restrooms are open only during the day. Although I enjoyed the exercise path, my favorite part of the park was discovering the nests of burrowing owls near the sand volleyball court. Burrowing owls are considered endangered, threatened or of special concern in nine U.S. states. Unlike other owls, they are not strictly nocturnal and are active during the day. They make their nests in underground burrows, which are dug out by ground squirrels and they prefer open grasslands. They are pretty timid and will pop back into their burrows if you approach but I managed to catch sight of one little fellow. The park was very busy during my visit. People were walking on the exercise path, playing volleyball, basketball, and tennis, and watching their kids play on the playground. Deicke is a great recreational resource for the Plantation community. Come visit Deicke Park anytime from dawn to dusk.
