Plenty of parking to start your adventure and be ready to explore and be amazed with each step. It offers many trials and paths, paved and unpaved for the adventure seekers. Might see a nice horse rider as well as they have a horse trail through the park. Fully shaded trails allowing you to be engulfed in nature and local wildlife. We saw an armadillo which was cool. Lovely variety of botanical species that's keeps you intrigued. Very peaceful and zen which is great for relaxation and meditation. Welcome center offers a wealth of information and artwork and a history museum allowing you to absorb and increase your knowledge of the area. They also offer indoor rented space for functions. Lovely park for a great hike and walk or for relaxation as you sit in the many rocking chairs staring into the lagoon with tranquility!

No noise except the beautiful sound of birds shirping. Have a sit on one of their benches and enjoy a moment of introspection and thinking. Stroll down the many walkways and trails and enjoy nice lake views and untouched old trees that have branches stretching wide and low with spanish moss hanging. Dreamy almost ghostly like vibe. The visitor's center is big and has a museum exhibition inside about tribal history. Wish it was closer to home otherwise this would be my go to meditation park. Just a peaceful and beautiful place.

The West Ridge Open Preserve is part of the Pine Island Ridge, the highest natural elevation in…read moreBroward County. This area is 20 feet above sea level. The southern tip of the ridge was a canoe landing for Native Americans over 5,000 years ago and along the ridge there are several archaeological sites. This area was occupied by both the Tequesta and Seminoles. During the 1950's this area was cleared for cattle. Davie has since tried to restore some of the tree canopy. There is no dedicated parking to this preserve. You just have to pull off the side of the road. The preserve is paved with an exercise path that you can bike, jog, or walk. The cool thing about this preserve is that there is a couple of natural hills, a rare thing to see in flat Florida. Along the trail are benches and a number of protected burrowing owls nests although I didn't see any of the little guys home. At both ends of Westridge Open Space Preserve, the trail connects to Pine Island Ridge Natural Area. You can walk all the way to the back of Tree Tops Park or go from Westridge Preserve along Nob Hill Road to Bergeron Park. The Pine Island Ridge Trail is popular with horseback riders so watch where you step. I love how you can go on to other hikes from this area. If you have not explored the Pine Island Ridge yet you are missing out on one of the most natural and nature filled parts of Davie.

Really part of Pine Island Ridge, the Westridge Open Space Preserve is a "passive" small park…read more There are a few recreational trails where one can walk, jog, bike. There are some shaded areas to chill or picnic. There are also many owl nests that have been relocated from other areas. I like to call it the "owl sanctuary". I have passed this place on Nob Hill hundreds of times and never noticed it. There is no parking. Visitors just park on the grass. I would say many of the visitors who enjoy this area probably come from the housing developments that surround the preserve. I enjoy adding the Westridge Ooen Preserve as past of my walks. When Broward County Parks were closed due to Covid-19, it was really crowded. It was a nice little piece of green that was always open when the parks were closed. Now it's pretty empty, and a nice place to stroll and enjoy a bit of nature.

Plantation Heritage Park is one of the best places you can come to, to walk around and decompress the day's stress. Something about being out in the nature, getting some fresh air, and seeing different animals calms my mind and my heart. It feelings healing in a way. Yes I would recommend this place to others and will be back again in the future! This park has pavilions you can rent for parties and celebrations. They also have a fitness zone where you can work out. There are playgrounds where kids can run around as well.

I come for the disc golf but I do appreciate all this park has to offer…read more I was new to this part of town when a friend recommended we play the course inside the Plantation Heritage park. I got there as they opened, 8am on the weekends. The course starts on the far end of the park so you get to take in the park on the way there. Ducks and geese love this place. They are all over the place. The lake that takes up the middle of the park is postcard perfect. You can't really blame the birds for liking it. When we play the course it gives you a chance to see alot of the park. The course covers almost everything east to west. One of the really neat things is the burrowing owl really likes this park. They are located at at least 4 spots I have been by. They are unique not just for nesting underground, but that they have alot of attitude. There is one couple of birds that are the 16th tee box who hiss at you while you play. Including the bird encounters, Its a great park, whether disc golfing, or bird spotting.

It's an equestrian park almost behind flamingo gardens( hence why there was a peacock walking around). If you go walk it's about 1 mile trail but there are horse trails you can walk on if you don't mind the horse poop. You can bring your kids and there is a playground and pavilions as well. Overall this is a great park.

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

Poliakoff was honored with the park by being SW Ranches first attorney. It was a cool day so the wife and I took a nice walk through the park and peered at the multi-colored wall mural. We defeated the sun by taking refuge under the metal roof pavilion and watched the birds and ducks around the tranquil lake (see video). The park had several posted signs explaining the wildlife living here like the Common Moorhen/Gallinula Chloropus or water bird. There are only two entrance paths both accessible by foot behind the CVS or along the sidewalk on Griffin Road. No parking in the park, only behind the CVS. PARK #66

The $2.1 million project was funded from the 2007 capital projects. The passive park, at the corner of Bonaventure and Vista Park Boulevards, is located across from Broward County's Weston Branch Public Library, hence the name Library Park. One of the most prominent features of the park is the central fountain. Around the fountain is a ring authors who had a connection to Florida or wrote about Florida. I spotted Ernest Hemingway author of The Old Man and the Sea and who is strongly connected to Key West and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings who lived in rural Florida and is the author of the The Yearling. Another interesting feature of the park is a history walk. Ten bronze plaques are numbered and inlaid in the paved walkway around the perimeter of the park. Each plaque gives information about the city's archaeological history dating back 5,000 years to the ancient Tequesta Indians who are now extinct. This path also celebrates Native Americans who were the first residents of Weston. The rest of the park is a large open lawn area where you can relax, play with your dog, or have a picnic. The common area was created for city residents to enjoy along with three outdoor gazebos. City residents are encouraged to use the park as a place to read books from the library. As an added bonus there are restrooms and Wi-Fi access throughout the park.
