There are so many different options of activities to park take in. Some options: Adult workout area, picnic tables, kayak launching area and a wonderful walking trail. If that isn't enough this park also has a few tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts and volleyball. Including clean restrooms, cover pavilions and cameras in the parking lot. Do not forget the ample parking. If you are local and have yet to visit, I highly recommend doing so!

I have visited Deerfield Island Park twice since it reopened earlier this summer. It is a Broward…read morecounty park and free to visit. There were a lot of upgrades made. The paths are well marked and wide. There are benches along the paths. There are picnic tables and water fountains on the island. The trails are appropriate for most abilities. The island is well shaded. There are a few butterfly statues which make for a nice photo op. You catch the shuttle boat at Sullivan Park, it runs on the hour between 10 and three Friday through Sunday. Parking is convenient ( and free) in the large lot. If you have children you could also visit Sullivan Park. Local lore has it that Al Capone buried some treasure here although it has never been found. You can see all the island in about an hour but could make a day of it with a picnic lunch.

Nature Center is great. Perfect trails for all ages. Restrooms and refreshments available. I did the Half mile boardwalk loop trail which is very shaded, so it wasn't feeling too hot. Very tropical. Felt like it was actually misting but no rain. Lots of water under the walkway. It's a Lush forest. Then I did the 1 mile loop prairie trail plus an extra 300 yard loop trail off the prairie trail. Overall a nice forest. Check it out if you haven't been. It's free and plenty of parking was available on a Saturday.

One thing that could be improved is the wildlife children's center needs a major deep clean. It doesn't look like it has ever been cleaned.

For earth day and for a milestone review, this is the park I chose to go to. We were not far away…read moreand I was curious to explore the area. I could easily live in this park. You'd never know it was here -- right along the intracoastal waterway -- unless you lived in this neighborhood. It's not the easiest to find as it's set back amongst the expensive homes, boats, marinas, and winding streets of Lighthouse Point. But it's well worth a trip to find it. There's not that much man made entertainment here -- no bbq grills or tennis courts or basketball nets or swing sets. What it does have is natural beauty and spectacular water views. There's a paved path to the middle and around the edge as well as some sandy paths. There are several spaces to park your car just outside the fence. Inside the fence is a bike rack. To the left of the entrance is the butterfly garden. And yes, we did see some colorful orange butterflies when we went -- but they were too fast (or shy?) for pictures. There are flowers -- yellow ones (sorry I don't know their name) and a number of green ones planted to attract the flying beauties. To the right of the entrance is a lovely large white Jasmine flowering bush. Heavenly scented. Inside the park are wide green expanses under the trees and several tented pavilions where you can rest and read or just contemplate nature. There is a bat house on a tall pole -- the bats eat mosquitos and are encouraged to visit, but I doubt there's one in residence. There was an empty bird house high up on a tree, too. There is an exercise area with instructions telling you what to do. But no one was using it. There's a sandy area with many coconut palms (and coconuts on the ground) and sea grape bushes that lead right down along the water. You could even dip a toe in if you're adventurous -- or just pull up a towel and sun bathe. In any case, along the water you get to see all the sail and speed boats passing by. And hear a soft lap as the water meets the shore. Such a nice respite from the hubbub noise of civilization. It was a welcome quiet space to rest and relax -- to get away and enjoy Mother Nature. So, come here -- and make every day Earth Day!

Such a cute little hidden gem in Deerfield Beach! I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this pretty,…read moreespecially because it's tucked right near a busy road. There are so many different trees and plants throughout the park, bamboo, palms, huge oak trees, tropical flowers, and little waterfalls and water features along the way. Parts of it gave me almost a Japanese garden/Zen feel mixed with tropical Florida. It's not a huge park, but it's perfect for a peaceful walk when you just want to get outside and wander around for a bit. And the fact that it's completely FREE makes it even better. Really pretty, relaxing, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

Beautiful park, BUT DO NOT SIT ON THE BENCHES!!!…read more My husband and I had such a peaceful, beautiful stroll through the park and decided to sit down on one of the wooden benches for a few minutes. Almost immediately, we both started experiencing severe itching and burning sensations wherever our skin had come into contact with the bench. We rushed to the bathroom to wash with soap and water, but unfortunately, that didn't even provide much relief. We ended up having to rush home to shower and get cleaned up. We have no idea what was on the bench that caused the reaction, but based on the timing and the fact that both of us experienced the same intense symptoms, something clearly wasn't right. It could potentially be anything from mold, moss, wood treatments, or insects--but regardless, the benches need some serious cleaning and maintenance. PLEASE be careful and avoid sitting on the wooden benches until they've been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Beautiful park, but this experience definitely put a damper on an otherwise lovely visit.
