Completed in 1989, Oscar Wind Park is located along State Road 84 and Interstate 75. When it opened…read moreit was the first park near Weston and Bonaventure, paid for with city money, The park was named in honor of Oscar Wind, the developer who donated the land in 1983 when the city annexed the area. In 1993, six more acres were added to the park as was a new softball field, a soccer/football field and a new park shelter. Today the park is looking better than ever. A new playground and outdoor fitness court were unveiled last month which increased the fitness and play options in the City of Sunrise. The new playground is ADA accessible with a wheelchair entry. It now has more than a dozen play structures including slides, swings, climbers, and a merry go round. Elements were added to foster learning, inspire music, and provide tactile games. The playground is covered in shade canopies and new seating and landscaping were added. Also brand new at Oscar Wind Park is the first Fitness Court in the city and it is also shade covered like the playground. The Fitness Court has an app on the side that teaches you how to use it. You do a circuit of exercises using your own body weight in order to condition and strengthen during work outs. It can be modified for all fitness levels. Additional park features included an open green space with a new 1/2 mile walking path, new landscaping, renovations to the restroom and picnic pavilion, and new LED lighting. My favorite improvement is that there is now a connecting walkway between Oscar Wind Park and Sawgrass Sanctuary Park. I like that you can do a really long walking circuit around both parks and never have to go into the road. The two parks blend together seamlessly. With the new additions to Oscar Wind Park, I think this is the best place in the city to enjoy nature, take the kids to play, and exercise.

Bring the kids out to enjoy the pool and playground, grill a meal, or enjoy a game of basketball and soccer. There is so much to do in this lovely park.

It was named after late city commissioner Stan Goldman who was a city commissioner for eight years. He was a long time advocate for the park and worked to expand it. The park was dedicated to him in 1986. I entered Stanley Goldman Memorial Park at the southern end of the park that connects to Lions Park via a bridge that crosses the C-10 canal. As I was crossing the bridge I spotted 4 manatees including a baby which I have never seen at a park before. I had a great time watch them swim and munch on the nearby tree branches. The park also has a fitness trail, fishing area, playgrounds, picnic areas, roller hockey rink, skatepark, restrooms, and a dog park. The city added the 22,000 square foot dog play area in 2015. The park is also a popular place to fish. The city of Hollywood has created the perfect place for nature, dog, and sports lovers to go to enjoy the best of what Florida has to offer.

Chase Park has a covered playground with climbing structures and slides. There is also a swing set, picnic tables and benches. Like most neighborhood parks, there are no restrooms or water. What drew my eye to the park was that it was not as nicely kept as some of the other Cooper City Parks. The park itself is fine but right next to the park is a large dump pile and it is along the water where the birds are. Cooper City doesn't usually allow dump piles in residential neighborhoods so it was out of place. Let's hope they clean it up because the kids deserve a nice place to play.

The park is located next to Silver Shores Elementary School. Silver Shores Park amenities include a basketball court, tennis court, football field, pavilions with picnic tables which can be reserved from the city, a shade covered playground, sand volleyball court, and restrooms. I personally enjoyed the exercise path that ran around the perimeter of the park. I was surprised to see how popular this small park is. While I was exercising I saw a festive birthday party in the pavilion, runners on the path, kids enjoying the playground, and a game on the volleyball court. This is a park that brings the community together for recreation. The well maintained and clean Silver Shores Park is ideal for sports, a family get together, or simply for a walk in the sunshine.

These included a modern, new 4,683 square foot welcome center designed by SRS and built by Gulf Building. The building provides administrative spaces, storage, restrooms, and multipurpose rooms for community meetings, fitness, and other recreational and social activities.

Also in the park are three rentable pavilions with grills, basketball and tennis courts, mini putting golf course, community garden, a playground in the back of the park, and outdoor fitness equipment. The park hosts a lot of community activities like monthly food truck events and after school programs and summer camps. I grabbed a meal from nearby Sunday's Eatery and enjoyed a wonderful picnic in Rolling Oaks Park. After I ate I walked the paved pedestrian trail that winds through the park with exercise stations. The many oak trees throughout makes this park especially lovely while providing welcoming shade. Whether you're in search of a serene walk, exercise, play, or outdoor meal, Rolling Oaks provides a great mix of natural beauty and recreational facilities.

There are covered pavilions for birthdays, baby showers, gender reveals, festivals, food trucks nights and the like. Furthermore there are playgrounds, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, a walking trail, conference rooms, a mini-putting golf course and even a community garden all nestled amongst the beautiful oak trees. Wow and wow! A girl can always have a WISH list and mine would be: a playground with water sprinklers for the children on those hot summer days, speed humps/bumps for added safety, mile markers for the walking trail and lastly added parking on the left as you enter the park. All in all though this park is a home-run for the Rolling oaks area and did not disappoint at all!!

The pavilion can be rented from the city for private events and parties. There is also a multipurpose room available for rent in the park. My favorite part of the park was the paved exercise trail that winds through the park along the water. Along the trail are outdoor fitness stations which I enjoyed trying out. They are high tech but if you do the exercises, they work. While I was exercising I enjoyed watching the wildlife in the park which included many birds attracted by the water.
