    The name of this park is Wes Griffin not West Griffin. It was named after beloved Davie police officer Wesley "Wes" Griffin who passed away in 2001 at the age of 53 from a heart attack. He was a town police officer for 27 years and he was a member of the Davie pioneer family, the Griffins for whom Griffin Road is named for. Officer Griffin had many letters of commendation during his years of service, was a giving volunteer to the community, and was beloved by many schoolchildren where he served as the school resource officer. Open daily from 9 AM until sunset, this is is a small and manicured 3.9 acre neighborhood park. There is a small parking area in the front of the park. Park amenities include a basketball court, shade covered playground, picnic table covered pavilions, and benches. The park is surrounded by water so it attracts a lot of birds. I took the paved exercise path to the back of the park where I saw many blue Jays. Like all of the parks in Davie, it is well maintained. This cute park is the perfect place to play, picnic, and bird watch.

    My kids love this park because of the large playground that is mostly covered by tarp that provides nice shade against harsh sun. They also have swings, slides, basketball court and a sidewalk path that circles the entire park. There are a couple picnic tables available and lots of green grass. We did not see any public bathrooms available and there is limited parking. There usually are not that many people visiting so can usually find a parking space. West Griffin is great spot for kids to play outside and have a picnic.

    Finally! The parks are open! This park is in walking distance and ever since COVID hit it was our little escape from being trapped inside all day. When they closed down a couple months ago, we would come to walk or ride our bikes along the path but it just wasn't the same. The kids missed the playground. They finally opened a few weeks ago and we couldn't be happier. The playground is covered which is nice with this unpredictable Florida weather and the the playground itself is nice and new. Before COVID one of the slides were closed due to maintenance but it's been fixed and back in working conditions. The kids really enjoy the slides and going on the swings. The swings are the only ones not covered but it's been cool lately so they haven't been too hot. If your not in the mood for the playground, they is a walking path that is great to ride scooters, bikes or just go for a quick jog. They also have little pavilions with a picnic table, a basketball court, and wide open space to run around. It's a great little park and we're grateful for it.

    Lovely little park for kids and the family. Great for getting your steps in. The park is small but does have area to have barbecue with the family.

Plenty of parking to start your adventure and be ready to explore and be amazed with each step. It offers many trials and paths, paved and unpaved for the adventure seekers. Might see a nice horse rider as well as they have a horse trail through the park. Fully shaded trails allowing you to be engulfed in nature and local wildlife. We saw an armadillo which was cool. Lovely variety of botanical species that's keeps you intrigued. Very peaceful and zen which is great for relaxation and meditation. Welcome center offers a wealth of information and artwork and a history museum allowing you to absorb and increase your knowledge of the area. They also offer indoor rented space for functions. Lovely park for a great hike and walk or for relaxation as you sit in the many rocking chairs staring into the lagoon with tranquility!

No noise except the beautiful sound of birds shirping. Have a sit on one of their benches and enjoy a moment of introspection and thinking. Stroll down the many walkways and trails and enjoy nice lake views and untouched old trees that have branches stretching wide and low with spanish moss hanging. Dreamy almost ghostly like vibe. The visitor's center is big and has a museum exhibition inside about tribal history. Wish it was closer to home otherwise this would be my go to meditation park. Just a peaceful and beautiful place.

The trail is about a mile around the lake and flat, making it an easy walk. Perfect for the kids to ride bikes or kick a ball around. There is a small event space available, restrooms are fairly clean but has no toilet paper. There are no drinking fountains. There is ample parking available however, they tend to fill up quickly on weekends. On the morning I walked the trail, there were a few doggy classes in progress with the cutest pups! Owners were friendly enough to let us pet them. This park is used a lot for photo shoots as well. We saw someone preparing a "Will You Marry Me?" back drop.

Stretching across only a modest 50-acres, it's the perfect place to unwind within some beautiful nature & it makes you feel as if the city isn't only a stones throw away. Offering free entry, as well, it's a great place to get outside & enjoy your day. Whether you want to walk, fish, exercise or relax, this park is the place to go. It only has one trail but it's sizable. The trail wraps entirely around the crystal clear lake & then some. There's an area with a decent incline/decline in elevation which is about as good as you're going to get in FL. I especially love the massive Australian pine trees that are throughout the entire park. Not only does it provide beautiful scenery & a home for the wildlife, it offers shade as you're on the trail. Keep in mind there's some areas that are totally clear of trees so it definitely gets hot during midday. For the most part, however, I'd say a good 3/4 of the park has some sort of cover/shade you can utilize. This park has been a part of my childhood & I still visit to this day so that speaks for itself. It's always been well maintained which is something I truly appreciate. Guests, for the most part, do a great job at being mindful of their belongings & not leaving trash. The city employees are good about staying on top of it, as well. Overall, I have nothing but great things to say about Wolf Lake & I love coming. Do yourself a favor & find an awesome local park like this one to get outside.
