Chill enough to make you forget that your inbox exists. Clean, peaceful, and somehow still underrated--Lakeside Park is proof that not everything in Florida has to cost $25 a ticket and three hours in line. Five stars, because this park makes doing absolutely nothing feel like an achievement.

Heyyyy, we got a new park to visit! And its not far from home…read more Its actually close for most people in the area as its right off the 95 exit onto Spanish River. We stopped over the other day, as my daughter found it on a basic search for places to take a walk or jog in the area. a little embarrassing that I didn't even know it was right there. I scouted it a little so I knew the right move was to park at the Spanish River library. After getting ready where we parked we headed out on a nice jog. The Pondhawk nature trail felt like about a mile around. it meandered left and right and plenty of things to distract as we jogged by. After that loop we too the other route which was around the lake there. that was closer to a half mile so we went around that 3 times. there were plenty o other people walking and jogging but the positive vibes were every where as people would say hi as we passed by. it was a nice Sunday morning jog, and I think we have a new spot to get some cardio in, Pondhawk.

My wife and I walked around looking at all the beautiful plants and trees for several hours. They also have a few water falls as well. They have paved walkways and you can bring your dogs along for the walk. They do have trails you can venture off through the plants and trees that leads back to the paved paths. We loved it! On the grounds they have tennis courts, basketball courts and a nice playground for kids. If you are ever in the area you MUST stop by this park! We definitely recommend it!

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.

This area just knocked my socks off…read more I couldn't believe that I was so close to an industrial area just east of busy Dixie Highway, yet it felt like being in a whole other world. A quiet secluded place where you could hear your heart beat. It made me think that this is what many areas of old Florida used to look like. Kind of scruffy vegetation, almost desert like it was so dry and sandy in spots. You have to come here. Even if you don't do the short-ish walk, it's on paved pathways --and you are urged to stay on the paths and not wander off thereby endangering the endangered species of plants, etc. Occasionally, there are shelters for shade. There were no other people or cars when we stopped by. We got to explore a bit -- we didn't walk the entire path as it was in the 80's and quite hot (and we weren't dressed properly), but we did get to see cactus, and some pretty flowers, and moss, and various palms, etc. etc. And we read about the history of this type of landscape and how there are very few places like this still left in the state. I think if I worked or lived nearby, I'd come here often. Just to escape the buzz of civilization. But, it does feel a bit isolated so you might want to visit with a friend. I'm so glad we got to see this....

The trail is accessible from Hillsboro Boulevard and the Winners Circle Trail but there is no parking lot. Along the trail you will see signs identifying plant and animal life that are indigenous to the area. As you walk you can be on the lookout for the Carolina Wren, woodpeckers, beauty berry, bald cypress trees, and poison ivy. 6 Acre Wood Park connects to Covered Bridge Park via a trail that runs between the two parks. At the entrance to the trail there was a stand with insect repellent but both cans were empty. The park is located next to a body of water that breeds mosquitos so it is advisable to bring your own repellent when hiking.

The trail is nicely shaded and the path is wide and stable - might be a nice short running route. It links to some other local trails! The trail offers some side of the road parking, which seems to be underutilized.

I love finding spaces like these, and look forward to coming back with the kids.

Cooperative efforts between the Forman family, City of Parkland Mayor and City Commissioners, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, and Riverglades Elementary PTA have enabled this once endangered native land to be planned, restored, and opened to the public under the 1989 Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) Bond Program. In order to further a common goal and protect this uniquely diverse 20-acre site for public enjoyment and education, Broward County voters, on March 14, 1989, approved a $75 million bond issue referendum to acquire this and several other sites across the county. In turn, to provide public access, site amenities were designed, including a 5' wide, 900' long pedestrian trail traveling through pine woods and a 1,550' boardwalk meandering through cypress wetlands and past a breathtaking oak hammock. Two seating and observation areas along with a pavilion area are located along the trail. The public is encouraged to view this wondrous natural resource, to absorb its beauty, and to learn the importance of its preservation for future generations' quality of life. This is a nice, quiet place to go for a short walk. I saw hardly any people. It was kind of attached to a school with a fence which I guess is nice but didn't want people to think I was creeping about so I stayed away from it. Lol. There is no official parking so you kind of have to park on the street. I wasn't towed so I guess it was ok. I would return.
