Pompano Beach has 52 parks throughout the city offering pools, sports amenities, playgrounds, dog parks, exercise equipment, and rental facilities. The SE 13th St. Park does not have the usual amenities you might expect but t is still worth a visit.
SE 13th St Park is located at the end of a neighborhood that lies between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is south of Atlantic Boulevard. The neighborhood of single family homes was built in the 1960's and is prized because there is no thru traffic. This small passive pocket park lies between the neighborhood and the Intracoastal.
While the park is small, its main attribute is a stunning view of the Intracoastal. There are three benches where you an sit and enjoy the breeze while watching the boat traffic pass by. Residents of the neighborhood use the park to watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July and the Pompano Beach Boat Parade in December. The only visitors I saw on an early Saturday evening where some iguanas scurrying on the sea wall. This little known park is such a peaceful place to relax and take in the view. read more
