The park is well maintained, from the foliage and landscaping to the baseball field and the skate park! This lovely city park also houses one of my absolute favorite trees (does everyone not have a favorite tree?). If you're looking for a nice place for a picnic there are plenty of covered picnic areas as well! Some of my favorite events that take place here are the Dania Beach Arts & Seafood Festival in April, the regular Dania Beach Flea Market, and the Dania Beach Vintage Motorcycle Show! I would highly recommend this park if your looking for a wonderful afternoon outdoors!

This is a beautiful park located in the Jacaranda Lakes neighborhood of Plantation. Jacaranda Lakes…read moreis a residential waterfront community at the north end of Plantation bordering Sunrise. It is popular for its winding roads, numerous cul-de-sacs, and water front views. There are 1,000 single family homes built between 1985 and 1995 and sixty five percent of the homes have a lake view. It is very family friendly community. . Jacaranda Lakes Park amenities include 2 shaded playgrounds, one tennis court, a half basketball court, a community pickleball court, picnic table, open play space, and restroom facilities which are open during daylight hours. All of the large old shade trees add to the natural beauty of this picturesque park. There is even a small hill that kids were enjoying riding their bikes down. My favorite part of the park is the half mile jogging course with exercise stations. The path winds around the back of the park between the canals. It's a great place to exercise and bird watch. In addition to the ducks and wading birds near the water the open grassy area had burrowing owls. I only saw one little guy peeking out of his burrow but a lady exercising told me that she sees them out every morning. 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 usually pop back into their burrows if you approach. It was so cool to catch site of one. He definitely picked a home with a beautiful view.

Seminole Park is located in the Plantation Isle neighborhood across from Tropical Elementary and Seminole Middle schools.

Located within the park is the Happy Trails Dog Park. Pop Travers field park with softball fields and concession stands are linked to Seminole Park by a bridge over the canal. My favorite discovery in the park was a nest 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. A female was sitting outside the burrow and as soon as I approached she called out and the male flew out of the burrow to stand in front protect her. She's got herself a great guy. I didn't want to upset them so I left them to their peace but I did so enjoy seeing them during my little Earth Day celebration. We all have to do our part to keep the earth healthy and protect the vulnerable like these little guys.

He kept our group of about 20 engaged. Gophers and their habitats are protected in Florida. There's a man-made lake in the middle of the sanctuary, which is up to 60 feet deep in places. The soil that was dug out to make the lake was transferred to the Sports Plex to level that land during its construction. We saw a tortoise and a raccoon during the walk and heard many birds. The walkway was paved and wide. This park is part of the million orchid initiative, we saw many tiny orchid plants attached to trees Although the sanctuary locked when there is no tour, there is a paved walkway outside the gated area.

One of the team members, Elise or Eli's was locking up the park and doing his search of the park and stumbled upon my wallet. Not only did I not know realize I left my wallet, but Elise took it into his own hands and searched the Aventura data base and called my house to let me know that I left my wallet. If it wasn't for Elise and the staff, I would never have known and would have been frantically searching the next day. However, Elise called around an hour after I left and made sure I retrieved my wallet. So for that I thank you and the staff! The park has always been home for me and my dog. The staff is an extended family that is always helpful and amazing to our community. Aventura park is one of a kind.

All of the parks in Emerald Hills are filled with families highlighting what a close knit community this is.
