I LOVEEEEE bayview park!!!! There's so much to do and it's so fun for all the little ones!

I like to take walks, but I get bored always walking in the same place. I am on the lookout for parks near me with a walking trail and plenty of shade to protect me from the hot sun and make the walk bearable. After all, it is the start of summer in South Florida. I tried this park. It's well maintained and has fields for sports including tennis, baseball, and basketball. Plus there is sort of a path that goes around the park (if you include the regular sidewalk on one side). There are a lot of nice trees, but I would say there is about 50% shade coverage. So for me that may not be enough. But for others who want to use the facilities and don't mind the heat, it could be nice. read more

A great park to enjoy as a family! Lots of slides and a smaller section for toddler age. There is ample benches for parents to relax while supervising kids. They have swings and multiple slides. One downfall is there isn't much shade. They have a nice path that circles the playground so kids can scooter or bike. It's clean, safe and enjoyable for the whole family! read more

This is a nicer than average neighborhood park in one of the nicer neighborhoods of Ft. Lauderdale. read more

Bayview Park was home to my entire High School career! Which I enjoyed far more than club. I truly cannot say enough good things about my time on my high school team. I felt like after many degrading years of travel soccer, high school soccer really lifted my love for the game back up. Because of this field (and the many hours spent on it) we were 4x District Champions, 3x Regional Champions, and 2x State Champions. I am so proud to have been apart of this team, we broke so many records and proved so many people wrong. read more

This large park is full of things to do. Over 6 acres, they have a full court basketball court, lighted athletic fields, batting cages, a pavilion and picnic areas, restrooms, tennis courts and a large playground. Much of the park is shaded and there is a nice walking path to go around the park in a circle. Great for getting outside during these pandemic days. The pavilion can be reserved for a fee. There is free street parking available. [Review 13289 overall, 607 of 2020.] read more

I love the church but the park had some problems when I used to walk around there. I think they were doing work on the park and property I hope it's all finished because as I remember it was a mess but it was also flooded from the rain several times and I couldn't get through the walking area around the ballpark. But they have great ballparks for baseball and courts of some sort and I think tennis courts too and basketball courts too and a nice big field and a long walk way around the field and courts. They also have an area where you can take your children to play if you want to and it's nice but the best part is The Church St John the Baptist and they do have a school There Called Cardinal Gibbons Catholic School which is a part of the church. I hope you all get a chance to go visit and also visit Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It's well worth it. God bless you all read more

This was a really lovely park. My kids had a great time. There's plenty of different kinds of equipment to us. The time of day we were there offered a lot of shade (we were there at 9am, but I suspect that at noon, it would feel much hotter as the sun would be beaming above your head and not behind the trees). Plenty to do. It was a nice area. It appears to be a little walk across the baseball field over to the bathrooms, though I'm not sure because I didn't go over there. Very enjoyable park for my children (3, 5, and 7). read more

It's a wonderful park - clean; easy parking. Large, glorious trees. Tennis courts; baseball fields; football field - play area for young children. It was great fun to see the kids climbing the lower part of a tree. There is also a nice gazebo area. Would highly recommend. Convenient parking. read more

Bayview Park is a park owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale. As it is located right next to Cardinal Gibbons, a private Catholic High School, it's one of the most active of all parks located within the city. In fact many erroneous think it to be a part of Cardinal Gibbons, which it is not. It has a lot of open area with a good deal of amenities such as a full basketball court, full baseball and separate but full softball fields, a four table gazebo picnic area, an especially nice young children's or kid's playground and decent restroom facilities. It is also, because of its high usage and the fact that it is located within the neighborhood Coral Ridge Country Club Estates, given meticulous care. Though beauty is not one of this parks better assets, I'm going Four Stars on it for it based upon the sheer number of sporting amenities it has to offer. But as a tip, Bayview Park is very much baseball oriented, so at times it really gets crowded and on baseball game nights, you might just as well forget using it for any other purposes. read more

Really nice playground with a decent amout of parking and good quality equipment. Suitable for ages 2 to 10 I'd say. The playground is of good size and there's a nice variety of things to do, but there was one huge downside; the entire area was severely flooded when we stopped in. Actually, I'm not sure why it was so badly flooded. It rained a few days on and off and it didn't seem to be an abnormal amount. Yet the entire entrance, parking area and surrounding grass area was swamped, which made it very hard to enter and maneuver around. The playground itself is slightly elevated, so luckily it escaped the flooding. The park is apparently very popular with area families. There were tons of kids running around on a random weekday evening, so nobody was letting the flooding or less than ideal weather dampen their spirits. My kids met tons of new buddies for instant, impromptu play dates and in the end, they left happy. I give this park a solid four stars. I have to say though, it would probably be a good idea for the City of Fort Lauderdale to improve the drainage here. Nobody wants to play in a flooded park. read more

Great place!!! Y precious granddaughter had her 1st birthday party there. It was a very warm summer day but there was shade trees to make the heat much easier to tolerate. The kids just had a great time!!! read more

Great place for the kids and beautiful views? Also, plenty of place for shade in this florida heat! The baseball field is open to the public. A great place to bring my nephews to practice batting and fielding. Afterwards, they had a blast at the new playground. The shaded areas are great on a day like today. The only downside is there is not an easily accessible drink stand for refreshments on hot days. Thankfully, the ice cream truck made a well timed appearance after a long day of fielding!! Parking is easy and convenient. You can see your car from both the field and the playground. Bathrooms are centrally located and open to the public. There are some tennis courts but I've never used them Definitely recommend. read more

Great park for little ones. I appreciate that it doesn't also have equipment for big kids. At other parks, the big equipment entices the little kids and makes more work for parents as they have to try to drag the kids back to the appropriate equipment. There is some shade, but it really needs more. A big tarp covering the whole thing would be great. They should take a note on that from Florence Hardy Park. The ground is soft, and everything is well maintained. They have tables to use for snack time. Mornings are best because the sun isn't too hot, yet. So far, I've never had a problem finding parking. This is our new favorite park. read more

Excellent for toddlers and young kids! Slides, baby swings. I like that the ground is a bouncy rubber material. Very nice, safe neighborhood near Cardinal Gibbons High School. I like that a lot of the pay equipment is shaded. There's not a ton of parking spots though. read more
