In 2005 the neighborhoods of St. George and West Ken Lark agreed to be annexed by Lauderhill. The neighborhood is under the West Ken Lark Home Owners Association. West Ken Lark Park is across the street from Larkdale Elementary School and serves as an anchor for the working class community. Park amenities include covered basketball courts, benches, bleachers, gym, fitness stations, football field, meeting room, pavilion, covered playground, restroom, water fountain, and walking/jogging path. Like all of the parks in Lauderhill it is completely fenced. The park recently received $350,000 of upgrades including an enlarged community center with a new roof, improvements to the parking lot and walk away, and new bathrooms. This park is a true community park. The city uses it to stage a lot of outreach programs. These include a football league, feeding children during the summer, fitness classes, Move with the Mayor, and school backpack giveaways just to name a view. Look on the city website for more details. I love how this park helps the community to connect to each other and useful services that make it an even better place to live.

Las Olas Intracoastal Park Promenade is part of the TheLOOP, Ft. Lauderdale's programming arm that…read moreprovides ongoing experiences for visitors and locals. TheLOOP's mission is to provide "Infinite Experience for Everyone Under the Sun. TheLOOP encompasses Las Olas Oceanside Park, Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park, The Sunset Terrace at the Las Olas Beach Garage, and DC Alexander Park. This holiday season TheLOOP brought Rink on the Beach, an outdoor ice skating rink to Las Olas Oceanside Park. Las Olas Intracoastal Park is located on the beach side of the base of the Dwight L. Rogers Memorial Causeway which carries vehicles over the Intracoastal on LAs Olas Boulevard. For years this park has been an underutilized space but all that is changing with recent park improvements. Construction is currently underway on the promenade running along the intracoastal and under the bridge. Parks under bridges are a great way to use space for recreation that would be otherwise wasted. Currently Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park is a large open space where the city is able to stage events. There are a few metered spaces along the perimeter of the park and the Las Olas Beach Garage is across the street. The highlight of Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park is undoubtedly its stunning waterfront promenade. Located on the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway, this park offers stunning views of cruise ships, mega yachts, and sailboats passing by. The park has a serene ambiance combined with breathtaking views. The park also has a paved walkway and benches where visitors can relax while enjoying the scenic views. I often see people from the nearby condominium exercising and walking their dogs here. The park will be a real show stopper once the city completes the improvements. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a fitness buff, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park offers something for everyone.

If you want to learn about the history of Pompano Beach this park is a great place to start. The…read morePompano Beach Historical Society maintains a building here but this park contains several historical buildings too. There is the two restored Kester Cottages that were moved to the park in the 1980's, a 1926 firehouse that contains the cities first fire truck, a 1926 American LaFrance and a 1948 American LaFrance, and Pump House No. 1, also from 1926. Other park amenities include tennis courts, a playground, and a shuffleboard court. On September 11, 2019, a 9/11 memorial was dedicated at the park. Founders Park was chosen for the memorial because it contains the cities first fire house and the memorial pays tribute to the 343 first responders killed on 9/11. The Pompano Beach Historical Society launches a lot of events from this park. They hold dinners in their building, operate historical trolley tours that leave from the park, and give tours of the Kester cottages. Besides the historical value, this is a great park to play tennis. It is nice to see Pompano working so hard to embrace their past.

Mullikin Park in Dania Beach is a neighborhood park named after John Mullikin, a prominent early…read more20th-century pioneer and farmer. John Mullikin arrived in South Florida in the late 1800's and established a 45-acre farm that produced tomatoes and citrus in the early town of Modello, now named Dania Beach. Mullikin constructed early access roads in the area, contributing to the development of what is now known as Stirling Road. He was also an instrumental part of the city's incorporation in 1904, the same year he was elected the new city's first mayor. Mullikin owned several buildings in downtown Dania, including the ice cream parlor and soda fountain which were social hubs. Mullikin later settled into a residence in southeastern Dania and moved into the lumber, stone, and concrete businesses. He was also renowned as an author. The land around the park area was historically used for farming. Today it is a densely populated neighborhood between Stirling Road and Federal Highway. Mulllikin Park was a recent recipient of the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grant. The FRDAP grant program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to provide financial assistance for purchasing or development of land for public outdoor recreation. Mullikin Park has been around since the 1990's and was in need of refurbishment. It reopened on April 23, 2025 with a newly renovated playground with inclusive play equipment, a new basketball court, outdoor fitness stations, pavilion with picnic tables, solar powered lights, and benches. I enjoyed walking the paved exercise path that encircles the park. Kids were having a great time on the playground and the basketball court was in use. I love that Dania Beach is improving their parks and investing in the community.

It's a large park with plenty of parking, although on a busy event night like this, even that wasn't quite enough! That alone shows how popular it is. The park offers several playgrounds, a covered outdoor gym area, and multiple covered basketball courts (at least 4-6 nets). There are large picnic spaces and open field areas, plus a huge lake with launch docks and a walkable path around it. Enclosed restrooms are available on site as well. The event itself was free and well organized, with lots of friendly staff available to answer questions (though one display unfortunately wasn't working). I went with several friends and kids, and we spent a little over an hour walking through and enjoying everything. During the daytime, this would be a lovely park to visit and take advantage of all the amenities -- there truly is something for everyone!

The Wimberly Athletic Complex is a park in the industrial warehouse section of Oakland Park. It was…read morenamed in honor of Harry L. Wimberly, one of the most beloved and dedicated public servants to the City of Oakland Park. His grandparents moved to area in the 1920's where they made their living as vegetable farmers. Harry began his career in Oakland Park by mowing lawns for the City. For the next 40 years he worked in various positions where he led a team of City employees responsible for streets and building maintenance, parks and roads, solid waste, water, stormwater, wastewater, and garage operations. Harry was known as being willing to do any job needed. He became the City's Recreation Director when the parks and recreation departments were combined and retired as the Director of Public Works in 1996. Harry is perhaps most well known for for helping organize the City's first Youth Day celebration in 1957. Youth Day continues to live on with Broward County's longest-running parade and it is still held every year at the park. Today the City of Oakland Park's youth enjoys all that Harry Wimberly put into the city at the Wimberly Athletic Complex. Park amenities include a baseball/softball diamond, concession stand, football field, and hockey rink. Just south of Wimberly Park is the brand New City Park which opened in 2022 and has lighted basketball court, pickleball courts, a woodland themed playground with shade cover, splash pad, and restrooms. Harry Wimberly loved the children of Oakland Park and he was devoted to making it the best city it could be. It is fitting that such an important gathering place and recreational resource in the community carries his name.
