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!

We started off playing in the playground that has a large train shaped area with several fun activities. They have swings and a separate section for climbing. Later he played in the little town area! This is such a fun part of the park. It's great for children's imagination and play. The last stop was the splash pad. The splash pad is so fun and has a beautiful design. The park also has pavilions that are available for rent. We had such a fun morning at Welleby Park! Can't wait to bring him again.

There are no shaded areas so plan to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. However, if you end up here right in the middle of the day, don't worry! Your kids will be excited to cool down at the adjacent water park- also free! In between the city and water park there is a nice mostly shaded playground. This was such a fun place to visit! There is a big mall within a 10 min drive so you can make this a day trip!

So glad some friends told us about this place awhile back when we were talking about places to take the grandkids in the future. But even if you're just a kid at heart, You may want to visit here. Wear your bathing suit. It's easy to find. And there's ample free parking out front. Mid week when we stopped by it wasn't very busy. But if I had kids, I'd be here every weekend -- especially in our recent hot weather. First and foremost is the interactive water/splash pad. So many machines spraying water, buckets dumping, etc etc. The three kids there were squealing with joy and excitement. Such fun. There's also a story walk/trail for children with various stops plus a regular walking trail. A covered playground with equipment for kids. A Volleyball sand court; basketball court; grills; picnic areas... all with a large swath of green grass in the middle -- perfect for events/concerts. On the south end is the canal C-14 with a fishing pier. More "waters edge" as in the name. And also for adults, there's a covered area right near the water with all sorts of gym/exercise equipment. Don't know what more you could want except maybe a few more resting benches along the main trail for the older folks... Go check it out. Bring the kids.

This review is based solely off the new playground called Princess Meadow's playground…read more Opened on Jan 4th 2020, this playground was redone in honor of Meadow Jade Pollock, an 18 year old slain during the MSD shooting. Her parents dedicated this playground to her so she can be remembered for the positivee/radiant way she lived as opposed to a gravesite with flowers. The playground is a blast for kids of All ages. It has multiple slides, swings, musical instruments and ways for kids to explore their senses.. it has become my favorite park in Coral Springs. It has plenty of shade, seating and best of all, it is completely enclosed with only two exit/entrances. I highly recommend this playground for those with kiddies. Such a beautiful and honorable way to remember this young soul, her name will forever live on with the laughter and joy this park brings!

It's the kind of place where you can fish, grill, jog, or just sit and judge the ducks like a retired Floridian. The sunsets? Five-star Instagram filters built by nature. The vibe? Chill enough to make you forget that your inbox exists. Clean, peaceful, and somehow still underrated--Lakeside Park is proof that not everything in Florida has to cost $25 a ticket and three hours in line. Five stars, because this park makes doing absolutely nothing feel like an achievement.

In short: a tranquil park with a covered bridge and walking trails…read more This covered bridge is located directly off Holmberg, on the north side. I have driven past it many times and curious to what it is about. It's a simple park , quiet and tranquil Despite the location. I came with my son, my friend and her daughter. There are so no playgrounds/stations for kids but they still loved it. It was beautiful. At one point on the walking trail there was a large bush that was drawing in a handful of butterflies. So lovely. My son is 8 and he has asked to go back multiple times.

In the 1980's when the Oriole Homes Corporation was developing the Country Place residential community on the north side of Holmberg Road in Parkland they offered to buy something to decorate the park and make it memorable for the residents of the new community. Parkland Commissioners Maryjane Sexton and Bobbi Pugliese wanted something that embodied the country setting so they picked a covered bridge. The bridge was suppose to cross over water but they didn't have any it could span so instead it connects land that runs between two canals. The park was deeded to Parkland on October 18, 1989. There isn't a parking lot for this park since it was designed for use by the people who lived in the community. I parked in the strip mall across the street from Holmberg Rd. and took the short walk up. The park is accessible from Holmberg Road or Hillsboro Boulevard through a tree lined trail on the west side of Winners Circle. The trail runs between the canal and apartments and it connects Covered Bridge Park to 6-acre Park off of Hillsboro Boulevard. I love a covered bridge and this park is so tranquil. In addition to the lovely bridge perfect for photos and as a backdrop for picnics, the hiking trail that runs between the two parks is wonderful for getting exercise. On my stroll I saw turtles, butterflies, and birds. This is just another reason why the name of Parkland is perfect for this picturesque city.
