There are so many different options of activities to park take in. Some options: Adult workout area, picnic tables, kayak launching area and a wonderful walking trail.

Do not forget the ample parking. If you are local and have yet to visit, I highly recommend doing so!

The paths are well marked and wide. There are benches along the paths. There are picnic tables and water fountains on the island. The trails are appropriate for most abilities. The island is well shaded. There are a few butterfly statues which make for a nice photo op. You catch the shuttle boat at Sullivan Park, it runs on the hour between 10 and three Friday through Sunday. Parking is convenient ( and free) in the large lot. If you have children you could also visit Sullivan Park. Local lore has it that Al Capone buried some treasure here although it has never been found. You can see all the island in about an hour but could make a day of it with a picnic lunch.

This is an amazing piece of protected nature in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. I especially enjoyed seeing cypress trees and knees, wild coffee with its red berries, air plants, bromeliads, and many other native plants I couldn't identify. Restrooms & boardwalks were very clean & well maintained. Wear sneakers if you plan to explore the natural trails. My only suggestion is for the center to add labels to the plants and trees, which would make the experience even more educational and enjoyable. Love this place!

On one side, it's a park with plenty of grills available (just bring charcoal/no propane). To get to the beach, you walk through a tunnel that goes under A1A. For tourists that don't have chairs, there's chaise lounges and umbrellas available to rent from independent company. Idk the costs for them.

For earth day and for a milestone review, this is the park I chose to go to. We were not far away…read moreand I was curious to explore the area. I could easily live in this park. You'd never know it was here -- right along the intracoastal waterway -- unless you lived in this neighborhood. It's not the easiest to find as it's set back amongst the expensive homes, boats, marinas, and winding streets of Lighthouse Point. But it's well worth a trip to find it. There's not that much man made entertainment here -- no bbq grills or tennis courts or basketball nets or swing sets. What it does have is natural beauty and spectacular water views. There's a paved path to the middle and around the edge as well as some sandy paths. There are several spaces to park your car just outside the fence. Inside the fence is a bike rack. To the left of the entrance is the butterfly garden. And yes, we did see some colorful orange butterflies when we went -- but they were too fast (or shy?) for pictures. There are flowers -- yellow ones (sorry I don't know their name) and a number of green ones planted to attract the flying beauties. To the right of the entrance is a lovely large white Jasmine flowering bush. Heavenly scented. Inside the park are wide green expanses under the trees and several tented pavilions where you can rest and read or just contemplate nature. There is a bat house on a tall pole -- the bats eat mosquitos and are encouraged to visit, but I doubt there's one in residence. There was an empty bird house high up on a tree, too. There is an exercise area with instructions telling you what to do. But no one was using it. There's a sandy area with many coconut palms (and coconuts on the ground) and sea grape bushes that lead right down along the water. You could even dip a toe in if you're adventurous -- or just pull up a towel and sun bathe. In any case, along the water you get to see all the sail and speed boats passing by. And hear a soft lap as the water meets the shore. Such a nice respite from the hubbub noise of civilization. It was a welcome quiet space to rest and relax -- to get away and enjoy Mother Nature. So, come here -- and make every day Earth Day!

Such a cute little hidden gem in Deerfield Beach! I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this pretty,…read moreespecially because it's tucked right near a busy road. There are so many different trees and plants throughout the park, bamboo, palms, huge oak trees, tropical flowers, and little waterfalls and water features along the way. Parts of it gave me almost a Japanese garden/Zen feel mixed with tropical Florida. It's not a huge park, but it's perfect for a peaceful walk when you just want to get outside and wander around for a bit. And the fact that it's completely FREE makes it even better. Really pretty, relaxing, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

Kids were happily playing on the playground, couples relaxed on benches, and a few people stretched out on blankets on the grassy areas soaking up the sun. Even with families and activity, it somehow still felt peaceful and restorative. Walking the trails surrounded by exotic plants and towering trees is magical. It's amazing how this lovely, tucked-away spot (you can only see it if you're looking for it) can feel so calm and healing right in the middle of the city. A perfect place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature.
