Frank McDonough moved from Chicago to Florida to escape his hay fever in 1954, two years before Light House Point even became a city. He served on the city commission from 1963 to 1968 and then was appointed mayor in 1968. He was re-elected until he resigned in 1984. In 1989 he was elected as mayor again and formerly retired in 1993 while still staying active in city affairs. In 1982 Lake Placid Park was renamed Frank McDonough Park in honor of his many years of service to the city. Frank McDonough passed away in 2001 at the age of 81. Frank McDonough Park started as a field that city recreation pioneer Dan Witt and some other fathers cleared so that children living in Light House point could have a recreation league of their own. Fifteen pallets of sod were donated so a football league could practice. Today, six acre Frank McDonough Park provides recreation to all ages in Lighthouse Point. The park has a baseball field, football/soccer field, sand volleyball court, 2 racquetball courts, 9 clay tennis courts which is home to the Lighthouse Point Tennis Center, a covered firefighter themed playground with two play area, one for tots, and one for older kids, and restrooms. Added to the park in 2020 is outdoor body-weight resistance workout equipment that includes a sit-up bench, chest press, pull-up bars, leg press, push-up station and more. This park is ideal for sports, play, and working out. The city has even staged concerts in the park in the past. Don't forget to stop by the Heroes Shrine located in the northwest corner of the park where you will find a memorial to those who serve in the military and first responders.

There is a parking lot nearby that shares space with a church and there might be more parking by the tennis courts. It is a great park with a lot of amenities.

There is a small parking lot but it looks like most of the people walk in from the surrounding neighborhood. At the entrance to the park is the Gaylan "Sam" Bode Memorial playground. There is a slide, swings, and a few other play structures. The real reason to come to Lakeview Park is for the paved exercise path that runs the perimeter of the park. I saw a few people walking, jogging, and roller blading. This is a really safe place to take kids biking. Along the back of the park is a lake where there was an anhinga drying its wings and ducks. This was the perfect place to watch the sun set. In the middle of the park is a large open play area. Cypress Park is a much larger park only a half mile away. It has basket ball courts, ball fields, and exercise stations. This park may not have all of the amenities of the larger parks but it is peaceful and quiet. When you don't want to deal with the crowds and noise, this is the perfect place to exercise. Sunny and I enjoyed our early evening walk.

There is also a small covered outdoor gym area too with some machines. Great park, small in the middle of a really nice neighborhood (palm aire). The close at sunset. Occasionally they have events here too - like food trucks! Parking is available/ however not a lot of spots. But I have seen people park on the grass. Also, the buildings surrounding have yellow guests parking spots too, I have seen

This five acre park is located in Palm Aire in Pompano Beach. It had its grand opening 12 years ago…read moreon December 10, 2011. It was named in honor of Pompano Beach Commissioner George Brummer who was elected in June of 2003. He was the successor to his friend, the late Vice Mayor Herb Skolnick, who served three decades. Brummer was well known and liked in Palm Aire where he served as President of the Civic Association. He was the one to suggest the creation of a park for Palm Aire. At the opening of the park George Brummer was praised for his leadership in both business and community issues and he was recognized as a champion for the Palm Aire community. At the dedication Brummer said he wanted people to use and enjoy the park. George Brummer Park was designed to appeal to all ages from youth to seniors. Park amenities include six popular pickle ball courts, restrooms, large shade covered playground, benches, tennis courts, basketball court, bocce ball, handball, and outdoor exercise equipment. While I was visiting there was a children's birthday party and people were playing basketball. I was actually kind of surprised at how many people were using the park given the heat index. A lot of the people in Palm Aire live in multi story condo units and this is the only outdoor recreation area they have. Fortunately the park is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. The City of Pompano did a great job exceeding Brummer's vision for a recreational area that the residents of Palm Aire can enjoy for years to come.

Even on busier days it's not packed and easy to run. There is adequate parking, exercise stations at the beginning and picnic tables. I run here often at all times of the day and have never had a problem; but, lighting could be better in the back of the park. There are a few areas (near the canal and the turn near the trees) that are a little dark so I usually avoid them if running at night and stay towards the front of the park.

The old nature trail in the Winston Park Nature Center was blocked off in 2018 because the decrepit boardwalk had become dangerous. Gone is the ratty old boardwalk and it was been replaced with a beautiful paved nature trail that connects the Hilton Road Greenway to the Winston Park Nature Center. The path goes through trees and along a canal filled with ducks and wading birds before exiting at the park. The trail is a fantastic improvement over what used to be here. Another upgrade to the park is a new NASA shuttle themed playground. Kids can pretend to be astronauts as they slide through the shuttle. The new playground is so cute and who knows, it just may inspire a kid to go to space. Other park amenities include a basketball court, pavilion, picnic area, racquetball court, tennis and volleyball courts, and a restroom. This park is so much better than the last time I was here. Well done Coconut Creek!

The over 5 acre Windmill Ranch Park is located across from Everglades Elementary School in the Windmill Ranch Estates development. There is no parking lot but you can leave your car next to the park when the school is closed. Windmill Ranch was where some of the first homes in the city were completed in 1984. The park opened in 1993 and was built by Arvida, a development company that also donated the land as part of their requirement to the City of Weston. You reach the entrance to the park by taking a short paved pathway that takes you up a small hill. At the top is a playground with a separate play area for younger and older children. There are climbing structures, slides, and swings. I love that that the playground has shade cover to protect children from the sun and a rubber ground cover to protect them when they fall. Adjacent to the playground is a large field that can be used for athletics, play exercise, or walking your leashed dog. Like all the city parks, Windmill Ranch Park is clean and meticulously maintained. How wonderful that Weston thought to set aside green space for its residents when developing the city.

They were among a half dozen sharecroppers who eventually were able to buy the land they farmed enabling them to work for themselves. Tony Mitchell helped those in his community get business loans and Cheatham Moore was the first African-American appointed to the City's Housing Authority. Mitchell and Moore were both instrumental in getting the city to create Westside Park in 1951 so that African-Americans in the segregated city would have a place for recreation. The park has now been named the Mitchell Moore Park and Community Center to honor the men's legacy. You can find the 16.1 acre Mitchell Moore Park next to Blanche Ely High School. Park amenities include a 10,000 square foot community center which has a gymnasium, arts and crafts room, meeting rooms, and kitchen. The park also has five lighted basketball courts, football/soccer field, picnic pavilion, playground area, lighted softball/baseball fields, four lighted tennis courts, volleyball courts, and the Houston/ Sworn Aquatic Center with 9, 25 yard lap lanes and 2, one meter spring boards. In 2021 The Orange Bowl Committee and the City of Pompano Beach partnered together to create a 4 million dollar recreation facility including a new football field known as Orange Bowl Field at Mitchell Moore Park. The Orange Bowl Committee's Legacy Parks program has provided over $21.5 million worth of improvements to selected South Florida parks and recreational facilities. Other improvements to the park included new synthetic turf football field, an electronic scoreboard, a new press box, shaded seating, an enhanced walking trail, and upgrades to the two existing baseball fields, and building refurbishments. Mitchell/Moore Park brings the community together. The park hosts many events. sports teams, lessons, and activities like summer dive in movies at the pool. The football field is state of the art and gives the youth in the city a safe place to practice sports and learn all the great lessons that come with it. There are so many recreational opportunities to enjoy in this well appointed park.
