The Walnut Creek area was annexed into the City of Pembroke Pines in 1999. The developer provided eight acres for the park which was built in 2002 at a cost of 1.9 million dollars. The Haskell Company, a Jacksonville-based firm that does much of the city's architectural design and construction work, was selected to provide preliminary architectural and engineering services for the project. $500,000 from the $400 million parks and land preservation bond issue approved by Broward County voters in 2000 was used to build the park along with a $200,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. The opening of the park allowed the Pasadena Lakes Optimist Club to expand and it provided additional baseball leagues to residents in the northeast section of the city. The Walnut Creek Park is located just east of University Drive on Taft Street and offers 3 lighted baseball/softball fields, 2 batting cages, 3 small pavilions, and 1 small shaded playground. Restrooms are always open and clean while the night lights are bright and allow for evening games. Note that you must have a permit from the city to use this facility for lessons or training. While I explored the park I discovered a Burrowing Owl nest. Burrowing owls are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. These owls are small and live in underground burrows found usually in parks. It is always a treat to find one but you must leave them undisturbed. Whether you are looking for a place to take the kids to play, engaging in a sports training or a game, or are just a nature lover, Walnut Creek Park is a valuable recreational resource for northeast Pembroke Pines.

A cute lil park in Weston!…read more This park is right by the elementary school & you can see it driving by on Indian Trace, which is exactly how we stumbled upon this park. We were headed to a new coffee shop in the area and decided to stop by when we saw pickleball nets. We ended up coming right after the elementary school got out and it looked like a lot of the after school care was at the park. There is a super nice playground and two pretty big fields which were taken up by all the kids. It was nice seeing how active everyone was and how the park was utilized. We walked over to where the pickleball nets were, which were on the basketball court. There are lines on the floor for the pickleball dimensions and the nets are mobile so you can move them out of the way if they aren't being used. We set it up to play and it was pretty nice to just hit the ball around and drill for a bit. Overall, the park was super nice and very well maintained.

You can find it next to Indian Trace Elementary School who often uses the park during the week. Indian Trace Park first opened 25 years ago but in 2019 it received upgrades. Now this park has so much to offer starting with an ample parking lot. Overflow parking is at the school when it is not in session. Paved walkways wind through the park leading to the new restrooms, fitness station with shade canopy, baseball/softball field, resurfaced full court basketball, pickle ball court, shade covered playground with poured in place surfacing, picnic pavilion with tables, lighted walkways, and a bike fixit station. Modifications were also made to existing drainage, water and sewer infrastructure, and ADA improvements were made. The landscaping is beautiful with neatly trimmed shrubs and colorful flowering trees. The cascading yellow blooms of the cassia tree were stunning. The restrooms are some of the best I have ever seen in a public park. They even have a QR code so you can report any bathrooms that need a clean up. Indian Trace Park has everything you need in a neighborhood park. Come out to play, exercise, or picnic in the wonderful city of Weston.

Set along aside a picturesque canal, at 3.28 acres, this park is much larger than your typical neighborhood park. Park amenities include a basketball court, benches, and a very nice covered playground with climbing structures and swings There is also a swing set. Also in the park is a memorial to Lucas Donovan Repetto. Lucas was the young son of City of Miami Fire-Rescue Lieutenant Patricio Repetto. He tragically passed away from an accident at the age of almost three. In his memory his family created this memorial and collected and assembled Joy Kits for the patients of Joe DiMaggio Children's hospital. My favorite part of visiting this park was discovering an adorable burrowing owl in the open area of the park. Burrowing owls are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. These owls are small and live in underground burrows found usually in parks. It is always a treat to find one and then quickly leave it in peace.

The park is in the back of the shopping and dining complex along a picturesque lake that has fountains. The Weston Town Center was designed to be a place where people in Weston can eat, meet, and stroll, a place that could be the heart of Weston. Town Center was modeled on Mizner Park in Boca Raton which also has outdoor shops and restaurants and a green space for events and recreation. The main park amenity in Town Center Park is an outdoor amphitheater that can be used as a stage for city events. The park also has paved walkways, landscaping, restroom, and benches. Bikes and dogs are prohibited in the park. Unfortunately the kids have taken over the park as a place to ride bikes and pop wheelies. It is probably safer than having them out among the cars in the parking lot but it takes away from the serenity and your ability to safely walk around. I think the park is really best for when the city stages outdoor events that brings the town together, hence the name Town Center Park.

This park has something to offer everyone. Rolling Oaks Park recently received a lot of new upgrades. 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. Next to the welcome center is a state-of-the-art playground with Ninja Extreme Fitness obstacle and challenges. 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.

Revitalized so you can energize!…read more Im loving it! This park was dormant and dreary for over 30 years. However it is now a spectacular hidden gem and I am so impressed! 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!!

Riverland Preserve is a 5 acre park in the Riverland neighborhood which is located in a SW corner…read moreof Fort Lauderdale off Davie Boulevard. The neighborhood is in a beautiful area that has an Old Florida feel with 200 year old oak trees. Many of the homes here were built in the 50's for the returning veterans of WWII who flocked to Florida. Like all Ft. Lauderdale parks Riverland is open every day from 6 AM until 9 PM. The city purchased the land for the park from the Black family in 2017. This land was their private home. Part of the funding to purchase the park came from $750,000 that was put aside by the county when Riverland was annexed into the City of Fort Lauderdale in 2002. When the property was first set for sale it was slated to be divided into subplots for housing development. The neighborhood was concerned about keeping the areas character intact and saving the 400 tropical trees on the property. They petitioned the city to keep the land in its natural state and they agreed to purchase the property and turn it into a park. Riverland is a passive park that still looks like someone's house in the neighborhood. The first time I looked for this park I actually drive by it. The original house still sits on the property along with several outbuildings. Behind the house is the preserve has ancient oak trees, sandal palms, laurel oaks, native wild orchids, slash pine trees, shrubs, banana trees, pink pineapple plants and other native plants. I saw ibis and the trees in this neighborhood are known for being a home to owls. There are no trails but there are benches. This preserve was one of my more interesting Ft. Lauderdale park finds. I love how the neighborhood rallied together to save the ecologically important piece of land. During my visit most of the preserve was flooded due to the heavy rains we recently experienced but I was intrigued by the plants I saw, especially the pink pineapples! and I will be back to explore further next time I am in the area.

The park is filled nightly with baseball practice for a feeder system for local middle and high school teams. Hollywood kids are playing on the same fields their parents grew up playing on. I found the park to be a great place to safely walk for exercise. Rotary was started Paul Harris, a Chicago attorney who formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on February 23, 1905 so professionals with different backgrounds could exchange ideas and form lifelong friendships. Through the years Rotary expanded to include humanitarian missions.
