Young Circle has sustained total upgrades several times in the last twenty years. Currently, the fountains are pumping water in the center of the park creating an artistic view. On the opposite side of the park is an outside amphitheater which hosts musical events, but empty tonight. The wild squirrels are so people friendly they will eat a nut right out of your hand. There are three concrete backgammon and checkers tables under a blue tarp for public use. The ArtsPark is surrounded by several eateries, retail shops and expensive high rise condos. read more

This is a nice park in downtown Hollywood that often hosts free city events. There are often concerts in the amphitheater and free movies every Friday. The playground is big and brand new, with an adjacent splash pad. Hollywood Hot Glass is also located here and offers glass blowing classes that make for a super fun date! Parking downtown isn't free, which is my main drawback for this park. But we love coming and enjoying city events here! read more

ArtsPark at Young Circle got a facelift a few years ago and the playground area is quite the transformation! Now we really enjoy coming to this park. I love that they added canopy shades over the main play area. The splash pad and big slide do not have shaded areas. The park sits in Young Circle and located next to the Hollywood Hot Glass and ArtsPark Amphitheater. Romero Britto's Butterfly sculpture is located by the ArtsPark in Young Circle sign. We've been to the Hollywood Hot Glass and that's a super cool experience in itself. Did the class with the kids. Very unique.

Walked from Dixie Highway down Hollywood Blvd all the way to the ArtsPark. When I was a teen this park was the home of vagrants and scary at night. At that time, there was a small movie theatre, Publix and a Subway. Now the are is full of restaurants and ultra posh condos. The music arena is still here but heavily updated with manicured grass wide sidewalks and families walking around. read more

I came here before and never took the time to review it. I came for a concert this time and had a lot of fun. Living in Hollywood I just Ubered over which was very easy. Leaving is a challenge because there's not a clear pick up point being in the of a circle. The facility was clean and so were the restrooms. I'd return for another event. read more

Mixed reviews here but our time was wonderful! This is a great small park with some things to climb and spin on. There is also a splash pad that's fun to play in and run through. If the park isn't your thing, there is a lot of green space to kick a soccer ball or throw a football. On Monday nights they have food trucks and luckily we figured it out soon enough to go. They had around 15 trucks there with every type of food you can imagine (BBQ, burgers, tacos, egg rolls, lobster, corn, grilled meats, arepas, and on and on). We decided to grab food from a few different trucks and share it all. We loved the egg rolls we tried and the rolled ice cream. The lobster roll was okay and the grilled chicken arepa was awful. Overall it was a beautiful evening in the park, playing and eating. read more

If you have not been swung around the circle then you have not properly visited Hollywood Fl. The city of Hollywood was designed by founder Joseph Young. Unique to his design was the incorporation of three large circles of land located along the main boulevard. These circles became the sites of a ten-acre park which was originally named Harding Circle and later renamed Young Circle, a circle for the city hall complex, and the third circle for a military academy. If you have ever driven around the Artspark at Young Circle it is like a roundabout but on steroids. People race around it at high speeds while others frantically try to find the exit off. It's quite an experience if you miss your exit you will be swinging around again. Inside the circle is a large park where the city holds events. There is no parking in the actual circle so you need to find parking along one of the city streets or in the downtown parking garage. Normally it is not a problem but if there is an event it can be tricky. Inside the park is a bust of city founder Joseph Young, a covered playground, splash fountain, restrooms, visual arts pavilion features live glass blowing demonstrations, salsa dance classes, and an art gallery. An 2,500 guest amphitheater hosts free weekly concerts and events like a free movie night. Currently the city Christmas tree and Hanukkah display is set up here. The circle is the cultural arts heart of the city. It is also favored by the homeless residents of Hollywood. When there is events the police sweep them out but when you visit on your own it is best to keep aware of your surroundings. Other than that the landscaping is lovely and it is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. read more

Very cute park with big stage! Was there for a Brazilian Carnival celebration! Which the event itself wasn't what I expected. Bit I did like the venue itself! It reminds me of Bayfront Park in Miami-Dade! They also had a building inside the circle of the park which at the moment had a glass blowing artist exhibition. I loved that the park is in a Circular shape! I just love circles! Parking could be a bit of a problem to find and that would be the only downfall besides being 45 minutes away from where I Live! I found parking on the side of Publix! Overall, I liked the park, it's pretty! I would definitely make the drive for a special event! read more

I've been taking my kids to this park since they were little. It's a great place to sit under their huge tree and watch the kids run around and play. What's so convenient about this park is all the stores in walking distance all around. On Fridays in the summer they have funtastic Fridays where you interact with a dj and play games, and once the sun goes down you lay your blanket or chairs down and watch a kid friendly movie under the stars. They have a water sprinkler for the kids to get wet in the hot florida sun. They also have a glass class where they teach you how to sculpt glass. The people are friendly and polite. Arts park is a cool and fun place to take the kids or even read a nice book and be alone, make new friends or have a picnic. read more

Recently attended a festival at this park. It was the perfect setting for the festival. The park is small, circular and well-maintained. The park has grassy & non-grassy areas with full beautiful trees. They also have restrooms should nature call. The park doesn't have a parking lot. However, there are a couple of parking garages near by and street meter parking. The park is also steps away from many restaurants, bars & shops on Hollywood Blvd. and adjacent streets. read more

We went for the So Flo wine and beer festival in the downtown Art Park Hollywood. This was a nice event a little small but very nice with good music, some refreshing wine, ​and delicious beer. There were only two vendors selling food. I went with my friend and we got to try they'll fruit wine from Schnelby in Homestead. They were also people for selling kettle​ popcorn with flavors like hot sweet, and buffalo wings which was the spicy and I loved it. The DJ was playing music and another person was singing live but honestly, the music was a little loud. read more

This park is absolutely beautiful. The best is the way it was decorated. Since it was the holidays there were Christmas lights and a big Christmas tree. Plenty of activities going on and alot of family's just spending some quality time. We walked around just to suck in all the beauty, I love being outdoors. There were a group of people doing a drumming and letting the crowd participate and even handed out some drums to the crowd. They had that little section hype. There was also a business that does glass fire blowing to make beautiful figurines for any occasion. They even have public seating so you can watch this art form come together. If selected from the crowd yoy get to help form a piece. It was such a great experience, must come back and hopefully get hand picked from the crowd to try this fire glass art read more

I had driven past Young Circle when occasionally venturing to the 9-5-4 and saw just the empty park space. Of course, my trips to Broward were a rarity, until last night. I saw an announcement for a new ArtsPark Amphitheater with two of my favorite groups performing, Expose and EnVogue (http://youtu.be/gzhmSGc518w). For "Classical" music of my high school years, I HAD to make the trip! The performing theater itself is an architectural marvel with ginormous steel framing and columns. In addition to the temporary light towers set up for the show, they had huge LED posts for concert-worthy effects. The sound system was loud enough that even in the back I could still hear the "Funky Divas", and they weren't drowned out by my friends' karaoke impression. In addition to the concert space, there was also a bathroom building (didn't check it) and food kiosks. There were also some carts outside selling carnival fare (funnel cakes and the like), but I think that was just specific for last night's event. There's street parking around the park, and well as valet in the (walking distance) Downtown Hollywood strip. My passport is ready for future trips to Broward! read more

I'm not sure how to rate this... The park is lovely, the stage has good acoustics BUT the bathrooms ARE A DISGRACE. Filthy. No toilet paper. Doors don't close & latch. It's dangerous because anyone can follow a girl into the bathroom and harm her because the bathroom doors don't latch. VERY UNSAFE. Not to mention there seems to be no one there to monitor the bathrooms or unstop up the toilets that the locals have shoved shoes and puke into the bowls. All I kept thinking was.. someone is going to come in here and hurt me. I can't sit on the toilet seats because there's feces smeared on the toilet seats. No toilet paper. Filthy, filthy situation. It was appalling. I would have rather just squatted outside in front of the stage and peed.. it was cleaner and probably safer. Josh Levy, you should be ashamed of yourself for not minding Arts Park read more

They always seem to have free events here. I saw a free Gin Blossoms concert at the big stage which was great. The sound quality and lighting was just as good as other outdoor concerts I've attended. Of the cultural events, I think the Asian Festival was the most professional and entertaining. I went to another event where they celebrated "all cultures" and it was not as good lol. They had hundreds of free cupcakes and party favors for their birthday celebration, which was awesome. I would highly recommend getting on the email list or checking the city's calendar if you want a heads up on all the special events that the City of Hollywood produces. Although the park is surrounding by a huge traffic circle with cars going at all times, the park is big enough that it's safe for your kids to run in the grass or play at the playground. They have a splash pad that is a hit with the kids. There is a good amount of concrete seating, but I wish there was more varied seating areas (especially if you'e attending the food truck event). So bring a blanket (ideally with a waterproof layer) to use on the huge grass lawn. The glass blowing facility located to the left of the stage is pretty cool. It's fun to watch the demos and there is concrete stadium style seating inside. The glass blowing facility makes the Arts Park unique and you can even purchase items for your home. Arts Park is a great place to take a long walk, watch the entertainment on the stage on special days, and have the kids get some exercise. Afterwards, there are a ton of restaurants within walking distance. There is a parking garage nearby that was $1/hr. The garage helps a lot because parking around the circle is limited and there are time limits on some spots. The garage was at Polk Ave and N. 19th Ave. read more

ArtsPark At Young Circle - Playgrounds Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Hollywood Artspark at Young Circle is a pretty cool open space park. There is an amphitheater right in the middle that often has performances; musical, theatrical, kids shows for free. There is a big green lawn where you can sit on the grass so bring a blanket or beach chairs if you're going to see a show. They have bathrooms at a smaller building on the side and also a Hot Glass blowing store right next to the amphitheater. There is also a kids park for the kiddies to play in. There is limited metered parking in the surrounding area and the park is walking distance to the Hollywood strip. read more

I've been to a few events that took place here. There are many different types of events at the Artspark at Young Circle. This is on 10 acres of land and has an amphitheater. There's a playground with a splash pad. They also offer movie night, food truck events, glass blowing, and art classes. There are restrooms onsite. There are plenty of metered parking on street. This outdoor venue serves the people in south Florida and there's always something going on. There are also bars and restaurants nearby. The last event I went to, they had a beer tasting right on the stage. There's are no chairs but the lawn is huge; just bring some mats and you're golden. The park was very clean and the events were organized and flowed smoothly. There were enough room for people to walk around. It's definitely one of my favorite outdoor venues in south Florida. read more

I've been to Artspark for a few events now and I have to say it's a pretty cool event space. For the food trucks they keep it all open and folks can flow in and out of the area. Recently, for a food festival they had barricades up, but it seemed that really anyone could walk in. Regardless it's a nice big space that fits a ton of tents (or food trucks) and never feels too crowded. On my last visit I found their stage area. I had no idea this existed! I'm sure concerts here are super dope (when it's not 100+ degrees out). There's a large lawn in front of the stage and for this one they had towels laid out for folks to sit back and relax. I'm assuming for concerts you can bring your own towls/lawn chairs. The bathrooms were a little out dated - and hot - but kept really clean. I always see events happening here, and I wouldn't mind coming to check out some of their other happenings in the future. We are pretty lucky to live in a place with so many great outdoor venues. read more

I've been to Young Circle a couple of times now and I really like it here. I've gone on dates where we've basically walked the entire park chatting and getting to know each other while in the middle of the circle. There is a playgrounds. There is a ton of greens space for kids of all ages to play. I've been to events here and while I've never seen a band play here, I assume, based on the fact that there's a stage there that you can see one play there every now and again. It kind of makes me wish I lived a little closer because it seems like this space is used for a variety of different events/uses. You can visit Hollywood's website and view the calendar for the Artspark and see just how much really goes on here- and trust me, there is a lot. read more

This small park is a wonderful piece of art, honoring Joseph young and the city of Hollywood. This is one of the few places in the U.S where it feels foreign due to the roundabout. This park host lots of cool event such as food-truck Mondays, live band and full moon drum circles. It's walking distance from Hollywood strip and is a must see if you're in the area. All in all its a small place that packs a lot of what Hollywood is all about and it's close proximity to lots of other cool places makes it a great addition to your evening out. read more

There's so many things that go on here! Some that happen every week are: Food truck Mondays - 25 trucks parked all along the circle. The line-up changes every week, although some trucks are always present. You can check which will be coming here: http://burgerbeast.com/arts-park/ Funtastic Fridays ending with a movie screened in the concert area - Great for families with lots of activities set up for the kids. The movie that will be shown can be found in the calendar linked below. Glass blowing demos throughout the week - There's a stadium-like seating area in front of the work space so you can see the artists at work. They may ask for a volunteer from the audience to help them with some aspect of the process. You can sign up for classes to make your own masterpiece to take home, or just buy a pre-made piece which is much more intricate. Free painting every third Saturday of the month - Located in the same building as the glass blowing, there's a small studio that opens its doors to anyone that wants to paint. They provide all the materials needed - canvas, acrylic paint, brushes, easel. Let your creativity run free and paint whatever your heart desires. I'd suggest taking a look at the calendar (link: http://www.hollywoodfl.org/calendar.aspx) so you don't miss out on any special events, like the St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival or the Turkish Festival. Some regular events can also get switched around in order to accommodate a special event, which will be reflected in the calendar well beforehand. Even without all the events, this is a great space to just take a walk or play with your dog and is very well-kept. Definitely won't get bored if you live nearby. read more

O-M-G! Why wasn't there playgrounds like the one at ArtsPark when I was a kid? I visited this place for the Hot Dog Festival, and I have to admit that this is one of the most amazing playgrounds I have ever seen in Miami. It had cargo nets for climbing and huge contraptions that you could lie on and spin. Pretty amazing spot to take your kids or if you are a kid at heart this would be a fun place for you too. I have to admit I was tempted to use one of those spinning "machines". Besides, the playground there is also a lot of green space, so it is an ideal area to take a blanket and read a book. There are also permanent checkers and chess board embedded onto the concrete tables by the amphitheater, but you have to bring your on pieces. Lots of area for recreational activities! And a good place to put a park, since it is surrounded by a Publix, Walgreens, and a bunch of other nice restaurants. The only con that prevented me from giving them a 5 was the lack of parking around this area. There are a few parking spaces located around the venue. However, this isn't enough parking when you are going to host concerts at the amphitheater or large-scale events such as their infamous July 1st Hot Dog Festival. Make sure to get here early, or you may have to park "illlegally" at the Publix parking lot. update: There's a municipal parking garage one block over on Polk street to the North on US1 and left on Polk. $1 an hour indoor parking :) I just wish there was more signage pointing us to the garage. oh well. read more

I went for a salsa event with family and friends. My aunt went ahead of me and secured a spot right in front of stage. We parked in a lot for $10 across from the park. It was a cool breeze outside, we luckily got a cold front day. Its a beautiful park I admired the trees they looked old. We came with a cooler of juices* and snacks, chairs, and blankets. The park was full of vendors. They had many dancers perform before the actual real music started. The park is great spot near publix and walgreens across the street for any additional items needed. There is a playground close to the restrooms which I took my daughter to play periodically when using the ladies room. The bathrooms were never packed when visiting. The music and concert was awesome. I had so much fun with my family and friends. I never saw any fight disruptions or police arresting activity this year or last year when I went. Thats always a blemish on concerts. CAN'T wait til next year or any more future Salsa this year. I am going to stay tuned on happenings coming up as well. read more

I grew up in this park. Everything there is to know about this park can only be summed up into one word: multipurpose. This park is like the Central Park of Hollywood. When telling my friends to meet me at young circle they know where to go. This spot serves as a place where people in the community meet up and build memories. They have an amphitheater for live shows and other events, it also holds Monday night food truck where people gather around drink, eat, laugh and have a picnic on the grass. Young circle park also has a little art gallery museum on the east side in a hot exhibit where you can learn and watch artist creating something with their minds. During the holidays, about a month prior to Christmas, they erect a huge Christmas tree full of lights and decorations! A great place to take pictures. This park also holds a small little playground area for kids. This park brought so many memories . read more

A blanket on the grass and some refreshments and you have a nice cozy setting with someone special. Also there is always a good performance from local artists for the music lover in you. read more

Did anyone go to the Mardi Gras party here this past weekend? New Orleans is one of my favorite towns, so when I heard about this gig with Bonerama (straight from the big easy), I was stoked! There were two other bands playing, Bad Apples Brass Band from Miami and T-Broussard and the Zydeco Steppers, also from New Orleans. It was all free too. Sounds like a good night. The visit Hollywood website said there was also Cajun food - jambalaya, gumbo, po' boys and beignets. Great! My date and I didn't eat and thought we'd grab some food we usually don't see and listen to some cool tunes. There were good vibes at the party and the park is just a very nice scene with big trees and a great stage. The bands were dialed in, and beads were thrown from the stage as they jammed. The crowd ran the gamut from families with toddlers to hipsters with bottles of wine. It was a great night until we went to eat. There was only ONE food vender and there were at least fifty people in line. We didn't want to wait and thought it was crazy to only have one vendor at the festival. We grabbed some food to go from the circle, but were bummed we had to take the time to do so and miss the music. I heard other people complaining too and one of the organizers at the chamber of commerce tent said they'd have more venders next year. I'd be willing to check it out! read more
