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.

We had a soccer tournament this weekend which spanned across multiple parks in Broward. This park…read morewas one of 4 that our team played, but by far, the worst one...though it has so much potential. I believe staff and the city have dropped the ball in allowing a beautiful city park to fall apart. The bathrooms were AWFUL with brown stuff smeared on the mirrors and walls and no toilet paper in any stalls (in male or female bathrooms), and 3 of the toilets in the ladies room were stained with feces or were clogged and unflushed, stall doors were not aligned and difficult to lock. The turf looked fairly new but was literally riddled with so much debris including a ton of cigarette butts, large rocks, bottle caps from various drink bottles (including beer bottles), as well as tons of leaves. In other words, it doesn't appear that the turf is being kept up. There are homeless people living in the park and sleeping along the walls where the bathrooms are with all their bags and blankets piled up along the path to the bathroom. Park staff were huddled together underneath a tent, congregating and chatting but no one tended to bathrooms. There was a kid maybe around 10 or so that had jumped the fence onto the playing turf and was on the sidelines throwing large rocks onto the playing field and although there was staff there, no one stopped him so we, the parents had to tell him to stop and also to go onto the field to collect the rocks he'd thrown so no one gets hurt while playing. Also, there were So many kids in the park for the tournament and oddly, there was no open concession, no vending machines or vendors to buy water or Gatorade. The kids in these tournaments, often play 2 games at two different parks per day but I have yet to do a tournament where there are no beverages available for purchase...even if it's just a vending machine. I hope the Parks & Recreation dept for Sunrise or Ft Laud can make it a priority to fix the problems at his park. It seems to be located in a part of the city where many youth live based on all the kids I saw walking, or riding bicycles into the park from a neighboring community and these kids should be able to safely go and have access to a nice clean park.

Just about a block south of City Hall and across from the Dairy Queen. The property contains the main Richardson residence, which was constructed in 1958, and a frame carriage house from 1926. The main residence, Manor House, provides a quaint location for receptions, meetings, special events and office space for the Wilton Manors Historical Society and City of Wilton Manors Leisure Services Department staff. The carriage house is used as a museum and provides artifacts and materials that will preserve the City of Wilton Manors history, culture and heritage. Kayak rentals are available every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There's free parking for those wanting to just stroll the green spaces, come close to the tranquil waters or just relax under the trees.

One wouldn't usually think of a little 5.4 acre park to be anything worthy of yelping about, but…read moreRichard Historic Park and Nature Preserve happens to be one. It has everything a good park should have. It has quiet green space, lovely trees, a natural nature surrounding, a historic building, plenty of parking, an observation walk and pier, a boat dock, a superb location and provides a variety of recreational not only for individuals but for community functions as well. Wilton Manors, sometimes known as the Island City, really is an island city, but only somewhat, being bordered by the North and the South Fork of the Middle River, and it is in Richardson Historic Park and Nature Preserve that the "Wilton Manors Taste of the Island" event is held wherein numerous area restaurants offer a taste of the culinary arts. It is also here that people enjoy nature walks, bird watching, picnics, fishing, and canoeing, kayaking, crabbing and other leisure activities. The centerpiece of the park is the historic Richardson building, the grandest and most prominently historic (historic because here, other than retirees from the north, things aren't very old) home in Wilton Manors. Built in 1958 as the Richardson's manor house it was sold to the City of Wilton Manors in 2002 and dedicated as a park in 2007.

This is a quaint neighborhood park located next to Floranada Elementary School. Interestingly this…read morearea of Ft. Lauderdale got its name from a Scottish noblewoman in the 1920's. Gwendolyn Maitland, the 14th Countess of Lauderdale, divided her time between her castle near Edinburgh and Palm Beach. While in Palm Beach she discovered Ft. Lauderdale named after her distant ancestor, Major William Lauderdale, during the Second Seminole War. In 1923 Maitland helped form the American British Improvement Association which purchased 8,000 acres of land north of Fort Lauderdale including a mile of oceanfront property. She planned to create a luxury resort in Broward County with the help of investor John S. Pillsbury, co-founder of the Pillsbury food company. The name Floranada was chosen from a mash up of Florida and Canada but the American British Improvement Association went bankrupt in 1926 before the resort could be built. This neighborhood in Ft. Lauderdale still bears the name. Floranada Park is almost 10 acres of outdoor recreational fun. Amenities include an athletic field, open area for play, pavilion, picnic tables, and grill, playground, restrooms, and sand volleyball court. Since the park is next to a school it is open daily after school until 9 PM and all day on the weekends. During the weekdays this park is mainly an extension of the school. During the weekends you will find families picnicking, kids unleashing their energy, and friends playing volleyball. This park adds to the vibrancy of the Floranada community.

My contact at the town, however, told me that the grassy area used to be a parking lot years ago and most of the amenities were added within the last ten years. There's resident permit parking right out front and metered parking just across the street. As you walk along the sidewalk there are colorfully painted Adirondack chairs -- two per -- under umbrellas. And a shade pavilion with chairs. At the beach entrance are various signs with information. No dogs are allowed nor is cigarette smoking on the beach. The park is open 7 am - 10 pm. There's a display with life jackets hanging from it in case someone needs to borrow one. And some info re rip currents and water safety. Two shower towers are at the entrance, too. There are bottom water spouts for washing the sand off your feet after the beach, as well. One of the nicest things was the beach access path. There are two entrances to the beach and one is covered in a hard mesh -- perfect for wheel chairs or wheeled carts or if you have trouble walking. I took a short walk out to the beach itself. It's wide with clean, white sand here. Mid week it wasn't busy with visitors. Talk about a "chamber of commerce" picture! I couldn't resist taking a short video. We truly live in paradise and this park proves it.
